Common Sense

COMMON SENSE IN CALIFORNIA

To my friends in California I wanted to share what others outside of California are thinking about us.  I received the following message from the “A” Team mostly residing in Florida.  I saved it because I wanted to try and explain it so it wouldn’t happen to others, but to be honest I was unable to think about this last special election for some time without getting angry.  Now I am just disgusted with the voters of California, most of which are not the people of California, but rather the sheeple of California that blindly follow the hype and outright lies dished out by the extremely Liberal media.  I am sorry to say most of the people did not bother to find out the truth.  To be fair I must say that these ballet initiatives were just barely defeated, but defeated none-the-less.   Please read the following message and I will offer my comments afterwards. 

Can anyone: "PLEASE" Explain What happened to Common Since in California???

Or is it, they Never Had Any?? 

Their Governor put 4 of the best Common Since items on the ballot they have ever had

& They rejected them "ALL"!! - - - 

Think About this:  In California A 10 year old can get an abortion without notifying her Parents, but must get a permit slip From home, if they are late, or if they miss a class? 

A teacher (of any grade) can work for “ 2 Years “ & after that “NEVER” be fired?

A Union can take money from their members, and give it to “ANY” party they choose?

For several years now, California elected Rep for the US Congress have been able to design their own area to represent, thus insuring their reelection?

 What the governor proposed, to have California be re apportioned, by a group of retired judges, thereby insuring a clean division of the state and to make sure that every US Congressman   will represent a diversity of the population!

I gave the residence of California more credit than they obviously deserved and was very disappointed with the outcome.  The voters rightfully wanted and needed change in the Government of California and elected Arnold Schwarzenegger to be the new Governor.  He went to work to change the government taking on the largest organization of special interest groups in state politics, this being the State Employee Unions and Teachers Unions.  These groups own the politicians in California.  Education alone takes about half of the entire State budget and I might add without any budget oversight.  Without the contributions from these unions, few are or can be elected without their support which means they vote the way the unions tell them.  The approval of three of the initiative the Governor put on the ballot would have broken the strangle hold of these unions and opened the door for fair representation of the people. 

Some facts that many of the sheeple in California are unaware of reinforce my belief of the honest and true intent of the Governor.  Most don’t even know that the Governor takes NO salary.  He works for free FOR the people.  He also gave up a $5,000,000.00 contract he had prior to becoming governor, because of attacks from the Liberals.  He is obviously NOT getting support from the largest special interest groups in California.  He owes no one favors and is the only true hope of saving California from self destruction.  This makes the defeat more frustrating.  We gave him the authority to make changes then didn’t give him the power. 

Many are unaware that the unions increased dues to members to raise hundreds of millions to launch a personal attack against the Governor and flood the media with false advertising against the initiatives. I gave the people more credit than they deserve.  The initiatives are all no brainers.  They should have known better. 

The right of a parent to be informed of a minor child before receiving an abortion is so basic it staggers the imagination.  I can’t even think of a comment.  I just shake my head in disbelief. 

Tenure after only two years is unthinkable.  How many of you have ever had a job like that?  I have never had a job with tenure.  I expect to be fired if I don’t do my job.  No wonder our schools are out of control.

The right to approve how you union dues are spent is also basic.  As I mentioned earlier, these unions even increased the dues to fund political attacks above the normal political contributions.  This apparently has gone without challenge.  Who wants to take these powers on?  Well our Governor tried, unsuccessfully.  It will be a long time before anyone else tries.  Be warned this can happen in your state.  Wake up while you can.

Congressional districts in California look like the tentacles of an octopus reaching out to pockets of residence.  The politicians lay out their own districts grouping special groups insuring they can be re-elected.  The Governor’s initiative would have allowed retired judges to recommend the boundary lines guaranteeing true representation of the people.  The media and the retired Judge Wompler (People’s Court) had the sheeple believing that judges would then be in control of politics.  What most didn’t know is that after the recommendations were set up by the judges the people would then get to vote to accept them or not.  Sounds fair to me, but instead, the politicians continue to establish the districts and of course no one gets to vote on it.
