Each state has it's problems to address.
California is owned outright by the Democrats and the unions.
The run of the mill Californian that disagrees with how the state is run today is powerless.
As you state, it is an issue of illegal aliens. It’s also an issue of corrupted processes, and national intransigence toward the state.
For Senator Boxer’s replacement, we had two Democrats on the ballot, no Republican.
The Republican Party couldn’t have cared less. Not one peep outbox them
And so it goes.
I appreciate the nice note.
