Love the video, but must disagree with the name "Save Our State." Why save a state that has brought us gay rights, the environmetal movement, a bloated state bureaucracy, and a "rule by referendum: mentality that votes for onorous social programs, while voting down the taxes to pay for them? AND THIS IS BEFORE THE WAVE OF ILLEGALS!

That's okay, Carry_Okie, sometimes those who bash California might be doing so because of their own State's problems.
For example, this past weekend New Jersey celebrated its homosexuality citzenry:

Also New Jersey has Environmental Activists:
Toxic School Scandal Spotlights Weak New Jersey Law
By: Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility
Published: Jun 5, 2007 at 07:51
The furor over a middle school contaminated with dangerous levels of pesticides demonstrates just how weak the state toxic clean-up law has become in New Jersey, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Parents were not notified of toxic waste piled in the schoolyard for more than five months because state law does not require parents or the public to be notified of either the hazardous contamination itself or how the tainted soil is then handled.
And talk about bloat - wowee:
New Jersey Forms Office Of Nutrition And Fitness
New Jersey's health department is starting an Office of Nutrition and Fitness to better coordinate programs aimed at preventing obesity, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer in Philadelphia, Pa.
Note, however, that NOBODY from New York or New Jersey would start an organization called "Saveourstate" as those of us who are libertarians or conservatives are realistic as to how far gone our homestates truly are. The best we can do is contain the problems and use the courts when necessary.
Besides, those of us on the east coast never heard of "gay liberation" or "the greening of America" until such movements emerged out of California.
