To the best of my knowlege, limited though it is, those of us working on it here and some in the farm bureau are the only ones working on it.

The lack of organized opposition amazes me. From what I can remember, only the Farm Bureau and Plumas County are opposed to this...is that all?

I guess... If nobody else much gives much of a hoot what happens to most of eastern CA, then why should I care. I've only been fighten these creeple people for over the last decade... That's all.

I keep thinkin it can only get a little worse before somebody out there finally wakes up, but no matter how strident one becomes... only a handful and only a couple of organizations grumble a little and there goes the farm and all the sons of the pioneers over the hill to get retrained to live in the rat infested megalopolis!!!

I'm gonna quit lamentin and quit lettin myself care about it because all it does is make me out the bad guy singing my repetitive tune. From now on it nuthin but fun and games and bein a half-fast spectator, shakin my head for a brief moment and grinnin and movin on down the road, takin care of only myself till there's no more young people in CA.

We're suffocating our own substance, offspring and resources and it's a disgrace to protect so much that could be productive and useful. We were once a shining example to the world of a thriving, useful, productive state... now look what we've let the Euro-Socialistas do to our future with our mob rule ballot measures and government by whim.

There is no longer such a thing as a California REPUBLIC!!! I just wears me out to think about it anymore... There will be no "there" there before much longer. It's being run into the ground by a bunch of clowns without dignity!!! It's just too disheartening.

I guess the effort in Klamath Falls on the CA/OR border was about the last hurrah. Whatever...

The list of support and opposition should tell people something about the nature if this bill. Now the question is why the heck are the Republicans supporting and passing this bill?
