So, based on your suggestion that we all just “cut-and-run” from California and give the state away to those who would turn it into a third world country, I’d guess you must be a Run Paul supporter? I won’t run from a fight. Be my guest and run away and hide in the Midwest if you like. Just remember, you may run and hide, now, but your state will face these issues one day too. Where will you go when that happens? Will you run and hide then? Or, will you be willing to stand and fight to your last breath to try and stop this tide? I choose to stand and fight now. We could use help, not condemnation from you.
Well said, SoldierDad! Somewhere, somehow, people are going to have to turn and fight to take back your state. I can understand your feeling for Calif. I once lived there too. It was a very long time ago. My Dad was a Marine working at both Twenty-nine Palms and Camp Pendelton, (not at same time). Of course, the culture and lifestyle of the state much different then (45 years ago). And it makes me sad and sick to see what is happening there now.
Still, I can have hope for the state and it’s people, along with my fears. As long as they have dedicated citizens (also teachers) like you there, that are willing to fight within, I have hope. Carry on SoldierDad! (and thank you for serving our country!)
