Just sent this note to a long time STUCK Dem who cannot see or want to see what Neusome has done to Califironia. Just listened to John Phillips on KABC, I hear him every day, and he has callers about the recall of Gruesom....and MOST that called in were lifelong Dems and now Independents...

Apparently the kindly Nunes family of California dairy farmers are actually Iowa dairy farmers, something that Nunes and his whole family kinda keep out of the public eye. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a23471864/devin-nunes-family-farm-iowa-california/ I was going to put this into the...

https://apnews.com/02cd9e0b507244d6bb773e285057a7fb I'm certain there will be people to disagree with how judges decides who stays in jail and who goes home. People are in an uproar seeing as how several people accused of child abuse were allowed low bail (still in jail though) in NM. The...

I found out about this movement a few months ago. California National Party is trying to become a qualified political party in California. At least they seem more peaceful than the Texas independence movement.

California Primary Kamala Harris, Loretta Sanchez advance in U.S. Senate race http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article82406532.html Sen. Barbara Boxer is retiring. 34 candidates ran to fill her seat. I think that Sen. Dianne Feinstein is retiring in 2018...

Place your bets for California's Democratic Primary. It's really just that simple. Vote above. ETA: California allows early voting up to 4 weeks before the primary. An independent voter must ask for a Democratic ballot at the polls. California's population is 38.6% Hispanic, 6.5% black...

Between Leland Yee and Feinstein, it seems California's elected Democrats really like their guns. http://www.sacbee.com/2014/03/26/6271916/fbi-california-sen-leland-yee.html This story is pretty wild, I'm shocked I haven't seen it here at JREF yet. Shocked! Raymond Chow is a gangster...

Democrats at odds over California’s multi-billion dollar budget surplus

So did I? That's right it was election day here in California. I mean her name was right there at the top of the ballot. She is only perhaps the most famous of the active birther idiots. It's not like being a Senator is a position of importance or anything. No, of course I didn't. I also...

Behold the glory of Orly's first congressional campaign ad sQoMP89nN7I

"A GOP lawmaker in California says he has a solution to the state's massive budget woes: He wants 13 conservative-leaning counties to secede and form a new state called "South California." The secession push is the brainchild of Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone, a Republican who tells...

Looks like Jerry Brown is back as governor in CA. On another note, looks like all the women CEO's lost - Fiorina, Whitman and McMahon.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39982008/ns/politics-decision_2010/ This happens every once in a while, but I'd hate to be the guy who loses to a dead person.

The prop that was gaining traction to legalize Marijuana in California isn't doing so well. Last report 57% voted No to legalize (20% returns so far) to 41% voting YES to do so. http://www.myfoxla.com/dpp/news/politics/marijuana-global-warming-props-tracking-to-defeat-20101102

what I want to know, is if this Proposition 19 would make it ILLEGAL for an employer to forbid a worker to drive a bus or other vehicle, or operate machinery, when he comes to work stond. I know it allowes employers to prevent workers from smoking weed while on the job, but what about folks...

The darling of the National Organization for Women, turns out to be an anti-science kook: Brown responded to the release of the clip by courageously coming out against cancer:

Proposition 19 on the California ballot would legalize marijuana. I'm inclined to vote for it but an Anti-19 article has some arguments against it. One I have no knowledge of at all: What's the skinny here? Is this a valid concern?

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-poll-20100926,0,4586282,full.story Either the LA Times is fudging the numbers (not unheard of) or Californians really are Stuck On Stupid. Moonbeam Brown? :rolleyes:

It has become very clear to be that Meg Whitman has far more money than she has common sense. Put aside the fact that she is so arrogant that she thinks it is good for the state for her to buy the office, or to lay off even more state employees. She expects the California Nurses' Association...

Full Story here. On one hand, these seems like this could keep one dominant part in power. On the other hand, it could maybe open the door for some third-party candidates. Any thoughts?
