This is huge people! Californians are starting to wake up. An initiative for a California constitutional amendment has qualified to begin gathering signatures. It will punish those statists in Sacramento by making the legislature part-time - limiting it to 95 days! As it is, they meet year-round to meddle in our affairs and raise taxes. We need to gather 750,000 valid California signatures (registered voters). You can download the petition and get more info here: http://www.reformcal.com/cms/

We need to push this through with everything we’ve got!!

Every elected representative in every state should be a part-timer. Send Congress packin’ every summer, too. They create a lot of mischief thinking of ways to fill their days.

Bookmarking. This is too delicious.

On tonight's KOVR-TV Channel 13 news they showed Darrel Steinberg's (Senate Pro Tempore) office door and reported that the typical state senator retained 22 staffers at and average salary of over $100,000/yr.

Although this is gross, it's only a small indicator of the waste going on withing state agencies that these jerks are supposed to be overseeing on our behalf!!!

We should make all legislatures part time. Including the Federal one.

And also make them all stay in their own district. With modern means of communication there is no need for them to all physically gather in one place. The more they are isolated from each other and remain in their own district/state, the more they are forced to listen to their constituents and the less they are able to conspire against our liberties.
