Senate just passed Cedillo's SB 60 - Drivers Licenses for Illegals. Assembly passed it last night. It now goes to the Governor
Totally desperate. I'll move to the new town! I don't know what else to do. And a lot of people are fleeing CA and coming here - on top of the hundreds of thousands of illegals we have living here, not to mention the millions just passing through. We don't have the hospitals (closed due to illegals), road structure (at least in Tucson), or many other things to support the influx... Not to mention there are way too many libs, druggies, welfare recipients, and winos around here.
Maybe the Kool aide drinkers will start spitting out their Kool aid if he signs it.

We are checking out Iowa (Des Moines), Southern Illinois and and Northern Texas. CA is not a place we would like to raise our kids or be further jaded by. Everytime we visit another city, state, we find that people by far are more conservative, more friendly, the real estate is more affordable, (granted, appreciates slower) and the quality of living seems much more geared towards family and away from BMW's and designer clothes.
Law requires that if you have a valid california license you must have insurance. If you do not own a car and plan to drive, you must have "Non-Owned Automobile Liability"
sometime I wonder why we bother to vote on a state and national level. I think next election I am going to vote regarding issues in our community ( hopefully will remain conservative). IF GOP doesn't get their heads out of the sand, Dems are taking over. They whine the loudest,blame, lie hoping anything sticks, and we keep letting them get away with it. Our representatives have no backbone
2. "Bring in the insurance companies- they want to make money"... Problem with them is that as soon as they start losing money they pull out and they do alot of redlining. State insurance programs already cater to the poor
The current immigration system isn’t “broken” or “failed;” it's just unenforced. Not unenforceable, mind you, just ignored. Americans don’t want so-called “immigration reform, they want strict enforcement of immigration laws, an end to illegal immigration and amnesties, and an end to the rampant lawlessness engendered by politically-correct refusal to enforce our civil laws.
There's free food, subsidized housing, reduced mortgages, food stamps, free medical and education, reduced tuition and suspension of out of state tuition fees--all of this is your reward for breaking the law, but only if you aren't already an American. If you're an American, forget about it; you have to pay your way through life. This is your reward for obeying the law.
Americans have to pay full price for their education, medical care, homes, and on top of that, our taxes go to pay for criminals--that is what illegal aliens are, make no mistake: they are criminals--who get all of that for little or even for nothing. This makes it possible--even easy--for them to work for $10 an hour or less. How many of us could afford to work for peanuts IF our homes, medical, food and education were all paid for? I know that the bulk of our bills are student loans and medical; take away those bills and you take away 90% of our debt. And I know too many people my age in the same boat...so calling it a national epidemic is probably an understatement.
Whooever wrote that read my mind.
Yep, your'e right. We were waiting for our sons to finish college or force them to go transfer. Smaller rural towns seem to be the only option, people tend to be more conservative , moral values are still apart of your life.
Actually he hasn't vetoed it yet. It'll take a few days before it is recorded and chaptered. He just ANNOUNCED he was going to veto it to stop the blizzard of letters emails and phone calls (honest, I have sources).
California sadly is an example and lesson for all of us......socialism combined with political agenda's are a bigger threat to America than the terrorists.
A few years ago a few people I know who are more to the "right" than I am...(which is hard to believe) voiced an opinion that eventually there will be civil war in this country: liberals vs conservatives....I can see now where that is becoming possible.
Sounds like a good reason to start calling about SB60 tomorrow. ;-)
Yes, you pay your insurance to recover damages, but the insurance companies have got you paying to cover someone else's and to buy a new Mercedes for their liberal lawyers.
Rep. Phil Burton called the 1981 gerrymander of California’s congressional seats, which netted Democrats five seats, his “contribution to modern art.” The same could be said of the 2001 gerrymander, especially considering the 23rd congressional district drawn to guarantee Democratic Congresswoman Lois Capps a safe seat. It traces the California coastline from Monterey County down to Ventura County. Although it is 200 miles long, its width ranges from five miles to 100 yards, carefully avoiding Republican leaning-neighborhoods. When discussing the 2001 redistricting map that created this district the Governor said it looked like it was drawn by “a drunk with an Etch-a-Sketch.”
I wish I knew what we did. Honestly. I'd hop in my time machine and set it right!
Here we go again.
60%+ of CA voters decided marriage was only between one man and one women and yet this same legislature just passed "gay marriage."
We don't *have* a representative gov't. In fact, if Bush wants to bring democracy anywhere else, he should invade California at dawn. Arnold has a series of reforms on a special election ballot. One of them would force redistricting that would break the monopoly of incumbency and undermine the sweetheart deal between the GOP and Dems to ensure districts are never in play.
We're fighting back, but I wouldn't dare try to handicap the battle.
