A "Thumb in the Eye" for California Voters

For those of you who may come here from time to time, you know that I have a general loathing for what our elected officials have become. It is a patented case of the Servant becoming the Master. Once in power, these schmucks forget about who and what got them there and take off under the reins of ego and special interests.

Nowhere in the 50 contiguous states is this more evident than in California. We are lucky to have term limits here, although the power-hungry nitwits are trying to take that apart too. Time and time again the legislators here have "risen above" the will of the people and second guessed the dictates of democracy and honest elections.

Take for instance "Drivers Licenses for Illegal Aliens". Legislation and propositions have been introduced time and time again, only to be defeated each time. It is in insult to the intelligence of the electorate that we would have to waste time to relive things that have already decided. Yet one or two folks with too much taxpayer paid time on their hands have decided they know better and will keep at the voters until they capitulate through apathy and lack of information.

Anyone familiar with California politics knows that the State is governed by the Northern section which is highly populated with liberal thinkers (an oxymoron). This stranglehold remains in place due to the largess of the California treasury which is relentlessly tapped for money that is not there to provide outrageous benefits to state employees and fiscally irresponsible protections for union members. Meanwhile the State continues to see an exodus of producers and businesses who are tired of being bled. As a result California is bankrupt.

Well, those same Democratic politicians who bankrupt the state, at the lash of the Homosexual lobby, had a little spare time on their hands. Despite Californian's rejection to same-sex marriage; Proposition 20 in 2000 passed with 62% of the vote; and Proposition 8 in 2008 that amended the constitution to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, that passed with 52% of the vote, our esteemed legislators found the time to pass a resolution. Well the resolution was directed at the federal government with the intent to SUPPORT same-sex marriages. Support???? When over 50% of the electorate in your own state have told you time and time again they don't want this? The elevation of the legislators above the will of the people is treasonous. If this is the way that our democracy will continue to go on, then we have lost it. As I have been promoting all along there needs to be a radical change in the so-called leaders we currently have serving us (supposedly). The acid test for anyone seeking public office is their pledge to abide by the will of the people. If we can't find these guys and gals, then we need to find a new way to govern.
