An interesting fact I’ve noticed about each of the Republicans vying to be president is that all talk about the excessive spending going on in Washington and that each in his or her way will end it all. Please note that all but one of them is from a Red State. Red being the fact […]

Goodbye, American Dream
In one sweeping move, the Supreme Court stripped away the Bill of Rights the American people had been guaranteed in the Constitution. When Justices Alito, Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, and Roberts stamped their approval against citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, they single-handedly destroyed our party system forever and created a new one called the Corporate […]

Our elected representatives have to do what is best for California. Not the other way around. It’s time to […]

Get rid of the American oligarchy
I often read letters that condemn socialism as some sort of evil force that will bring down our form of democracy. We are, in fact, a socialistic-democracy, and it isn’t dangerous or bad. Too often, though, it’s associated with communism and or dictatorships. Socialism as best defined is a system whereby all programs are state […]
