Thanks for the info. I didn't see the previous thread, so I had no idea folks would be so... passionate. I didn't mean to add fuel to the fire. Hopefully, this comment can serve to make nice with everyone I may have inadvertently irritated here. It was never my intent to do so.
I personally am rooting for California to clean house and get back to the days of Reagan. It's a beautiful state that is more important to the nation than most here admit, and unfortunately right now the good citizens of California are being raped by illegal immigration and liberalism. We here in the rest of the country really don't see anything happening to change the direction California has taken, and it isn't going to happen without a huge battle. Perhaps conservatives from other states are going to have to step in and help with the battle.
So, how can this Illinois-born-and-raised conservative living in Texas help?

you know, the things you rail about we also rail about too in CA. What got our dander up here is that if you read ALL the posts, there are many kind of ignorant people ( not you) who just throw out crap and have no idea about the whole of the state.. Sure the demographics hurt us on the coast but we are still fighting...People outside the state don't see news on the 44% of the state that is not blue cause there is not alot of bad news coming from it. We are trying to change things here but when I am insulted I do defend the state. I've been to 43 states, my parents and relatives are from Michigan and Kansas so I really do know the midwest pretty well.......what irks me is that this state is more purple than blue and some narrow minded ones just love trashing us cause of politics.....but when you look at education, business (still) travel, agriculture, technology etc, California still leads the nation and any other state......I don't mind anyone pissing on Boxer and her ilk but when they generalize to the entire state they will get a fight........thanks for writing....
