AMERICANS SHOULD TAKE HEED: California is the prime example of the devastating effects of the socialist agenda---businesses cannot survive, they and people are leaving that state in droves. Additionally, California State Board of Education has repeatedly failed to achieve the success in their lab experiment, the "whole langugage" program (instead of time-tested effective phonics).
If the socialist commie rats take over America, as they have more and more in California, there will be no place for any business to run. Why don't Americans see this?
To late, this has gone far beyond the borders of California. It's later than you think.... Just yesterday this was passed in Seattle...

To the cheers of immigrant-rights advocates, the Seattle City Council yesterday adopted a "don't ask" policy prohibiting police and other city workers from asking about the immigration status of people they come in contact with.
The ordinance, sponsored by City Councilman Nick Licata, was touted as a symbolic rejoinder to the Bush administration's war on terrorism, which critics argue has eroded important civil liberties, especially for recent immigrants, both legal and illegal.
"It is just an incredibly frightening time," said City Councilwoman Judy Nicastro.
While there was no visible opposition to the ordinance yesterday, some police officers have questioned the wisdom of the measure, saying it is just one more restriction placed on their ability to fight crime.
A mockery is being made of our citizenship, and our sovereignty is now a joke.
I think that become California becomes a wasteland Wall Street and the courts will step in to cause some very painful changes. I see California now looking at selling Bonds to pay for CalPERS as a way of shifting money around through time. This kind of thing combined with the amount of power bonds sold, it likely to cause Wall Street to force some fiscal restraint upon California.
Similarly, when the schools get too bad, the courts have historically been brought in to run school districts and order school boards to raise taxes they didn't want to pass.
I think many states are going to be in for some harsh and painful times as they undue their fiscal irresponsibility.
