"Should it ever pass,however,the migration OUT of Cali would accelerate rapidly."

Am I the only one who understands that "migration OUT of Cali" is exactly what Davis and the Demonicrats are deliberately up to? They don't fear this!!! They desire it!!!

They feel that those of us that love it are "loving it to death!" They wish those of us in Non-Coastal CA, that vote against them and their liberal taxing/immigration/environmental dreams would just leave, already!!!

Even Sacramento County voted against Gray Davis!!!

Assemblyman John Longville thinks so. The Democrat from Rialto thinks voters should change the constitution to do away with the rule.

After all, he says, Arkansas and Rhode Island are the only other states with such a requirement.

Me thinks that Assemblyman John Longville (democRAT) is lying.

Good point, however let's not forget the 'prison guards', their favorite contributing group. And I'd bet there are a whole bunch more that'd like to have Christmas come early.

Thanks for the ping Sierra. And a bump to post #4 BSR.

Somebody change that kid's diaper. Careful though, inside you may find the best example of this democrat-induced budget mess.

My first thought the other day was "We're gonna MOVE out of this state!"

My second thought tonight was "Please God help us!"

My third thought was "It takes a disaster (like 9/11 or a huge budget deficit like this) for Californians or ordinary people to see the light, so maybe this is good?"

I was reading tonight that in Germany (which I pinged Norm to), people are FED UP to the GILLS with Schroeder, even the GREENS don't want their taxes raised!

We're in the same boat here. Gray=Schroeder, and the swing voters next time won't be voting for him.

Anyways, that's my philosophy, things have to get dire in order for change to happen, and good change to happen.

God bless you all, and God help us Californians!

They'll never touch those. The Dems won't voluntarily dismantle their power bases except when their backs are to the wall and in the meantime they'll inflict pain on the public first.

I just moved from Calif. to Texas. While I was there I went to FREEREPUBLIC protests against Gray Davis. My sister, a democrat teacher in Calif., voted FOR Davis. I wonder how she likes his proposal to cut teacher pay?????

I wonder how she likes his proposal to cut teacher pay?????

I think it is just a tactic to get their support for other actions!
