It's not terribly amusing to hear my wife's sister, a teacher in a California elementary school, worry about how to afford to keep her own kids from attending the school at which she teaches.

It's not like it's an inner city school. Her whole city has a population of less than 50,000.

My sister-in-law doesn't like the curriculum, the changing demographics, or the quality of education provided by the school district. She votes Republican, if you hadn't already guessed.

The paycheck protection measure on the ballot may be our last chance to save this state.

Why they don't just enforce Communications Workers v. Beck, I just don't understand. Enforcing the law shouldn't require a ballot measure.

A ballot measure doesn't end the matter in California as I'm sure you well know.

We've got to get control of the 9th Circuit. Those lunatics are the cause of half your problems.

".....environmental groups as well as hordes of partygoers from the San Francisco Bay area who visit the desert each year for the Burning Man festival. "

Oh yes, god forbid providing enough power for people to live interfere with the Burning Man Festival.

As a person who worked in a coal fired power plant in Alaska for 17 years I would like to read more about the technology to be utilized at the proposed plant. No doubt it is MUCH better environmentally then the 1937 design of the plant I worked in till '88

Yes, I am denying it as one of those contituents. The majority, acreagewise, of CA is Red. We have the blue areas along the coast which house the illegals, the libs and the minorities. All of them ignorant and dependent on government to see them through. The majority of CA residents do not want all these things and when we actually get an initiative on the ballot, such as a gun ban, we always vote it out, or in if it is beneficial, which they rarely are.

The problem is, even the red areas think that dems are honest and they continue to vote for dem senators, plus the lines are drawn to favor Dems.

The reason the Pres didn't do any better here is the Republicans give up and don't go to the polls as they should. We need people to spark the voters and to convince the blacks that the dems are not their frineds but their enemies. If we can do that we can turn this rotten state around. One more thing, we need the illegals to be sent back across the border.
