We need more leaders in California like Dana Rohrabacher, who represents many beach areas in southern CA. He has signed on as cosponsor of Tom Tancredo's legislation to restrict immigration. Most of the other Reps don't have the guts to do that.
That is precisely why we need a new legislative body. The voting records of all public officals are obtainable and should be reviewed to determine if re-election is warranted.
This state is heading for a crash and tough times warrant tough measures. I just wish the elected officials would respond accordingly with program cuts - not raising taxes as a solution.
