The Voters Speak!

Now that props 1A-1E have been voted down, the legislature needs to confront its addiction to spending. Again, there needs to be a complete audit of where OUR tax money is being spent. All waste must be eliminated.
I'll be the first to volunteer my services!

Jerry Hill votes against 3rd parties

As part of the weak budget that was passed this morning, Jerry Hill and other lawmakers of both parties elected to put a ballot measure in the June 2010 election that would change California's primaries to open primaries. This essentially removes the 3rd party voices from the November general election.
Not only that. In heavily gerrymandered districts, you could end up with two people from the same party to choose from in the general election.
One voice, one view to vote for, that's California's government for you.

Build Businesses, NOT Government

The massive "stimulus" bill Congress is trying to pass is nothing more than a plan to expand government projects. Taking taxpayer money and giving it to contractors to build stuff is not job creation. Expanding economic freedom by allowing current businesses to grow and new ones to form is job creation. New businesses will employ people for the long term and inspire others to create businesses of their own. The so called "stimulus" bill does nothing to create employment opportunities for the thousands of unskilled workers and laid-off retail and tech workers. It is a boon for contractors looking for their next project, though.
California is one of the states that deters business growth with excessive regulations, high taxes, unfair licensing requirements, and wasteful welfare spending. We need to expand economic freedom, not send companies packing to less restrictive states. The ability to exchange goods and services with others is a fundamental right of American citizens and the key to a freer, "stimulated" economy.
