To: Political Junkie Too
I was going to register at the site so’s I could comment, but they want everything but your blood type - I refuse to register on such sites...dont’ want to end up in a data-bank of ‘hostiles’ - (half joking)

I was going to suggest that they could save on power by many other means - like hang out the dang wash, don’t run the tap water while brushing teeth (estimated average of 5 gallons!) when one glass of water will do) - encourage the mega-mansion dwellers with tens of thousands of square foot homes to shut off some rooms at peak times, and not burn all 150 light bulbs....suggest people could cook one meal a week with the “cook once, eat twice” method of cooking a double batch. If every Californian did that just one time a week, it’d save mega k-watts...

Stop stepping over the Constitutional Boundaries into our private homes. And NO, buying carbon credits doens’t mean you get to continue to live high on the hog while penalizing the “little people” =

We vote these Commies out this election or get ready for the U.S.S.A. (and extra S for Socialist)

This mandate got shouted down this time. But it’s still sitting there - and will be brought back to the table in the future. Believe it.

Another thing to be thankful for: Arh-nold was not born in America. He can't be president.
