Good luck to you. You might find it is like pushing against the tide with a toothpick. There are no more Republican members of the House or Senate in all of New England.

We gained seven Republican seats in the State House, however. And really, what difference does Congress really make in your everyday life except for the numbers on your W2?

I tried pushing against the roaring tsunami with a toothpick in California, and I'd much rather be armed with a toothpick in New Hampshire and playing offense (like turning out 500 people against an anti-gun bill, cutting $1.5 million from the town budget, or taking out an anti-gun Democrat in her primary), than in California fighting a rear-guard battle.

I wish you luck. I was born and raised in Souther California when the San fernando Valley was Cow Pastures and Orange Groves. I left when I entered the Army. Watched from a distance as it went through the Reagan era and returned many years later on a visit only to see what to me was something completely different than what I used to know. I now live in the southern part of a State that voted 65% Republican in the most recent election and love it here. Lots of “Old Retired Military Guys” like me.

The joke now is that “so and so ran away to Vancouver to become a movie star..”

Just like everyone else, the movie people are tired of high taxes and overpaid crews. Other states offer money for movies to be filmed in their states (Michigan...offers something like a subsidy of 40% of production cost)

Ahuld needs to stop pandering to illegal aliens and start lowering taxes....that will stimulate the economy
