When I used to teach at Gage Middle School in Huntington Park, CA, I saw some kids actually climb the fence at lunchtime and get in line, eat their lunch and then jump back over the fence. My guess is they got high and got the munchies, so they showed up at school long enough to get their lunch.

We are not quitters, we are fighters. It just seems as if there are more of them than there are of us, but this is not true. We have just been silent too long. Now is the time to stay and fight back. This is your land, fight for it Lady!

BTW, Hello everyone. I didn't know there was a California State group. I found it. I'm having a Tea Party (TENTATIVELY) on April 15 at noon in Long Beach. I posted in the discussion. Have a blessed everyone.

so I am seriously considering gtting the hell out of Cali! I hate what the people here have done to it. I grew up in a city (near Santa Monica) that was once all middle class, hard working families. It was safe, and everyone pretty much got along. It has now turned into an over-populated free for all. It takes my mother (who still lives there) 15 mins to get up the street to the grocery store. I'm sure half the people causing the traffic are uninsured illegal immigrants! She gets to the store and stands in line, only to be checked out by a woman that can barely speak english. Then after getting home, she was robbed on her front doorstep by some jacka*s! Not to mention her back wall that leads to the alley is constantly vandalized by gang members that write on the wall to claim that it is their territory. Well that's funny because I'm sure that they all come from the apartments down the street, and have never payed a dollar in property taxes!!! Or any taxes for that matter!! I have refused to let my kids grow up here. They would have attended a school that is 85% latinos. So that means english would be the second language there.
I am sick of paying for immigrant kids to attend schools. They bring down the academics and by the way... why do I have to pay for the "free lunch program"?? If you can't send your kid to school with a PB&J and an apple, you should not be having kids!!!

I am sick of working everyday to only have it taken away by the government to pay for the stupidest things such as:
mediCal for immigrants, food for immigrants, schooling for their kids, low income housing, and welfare!!!!! I can't tell you how oftern I see one of these wellfare collecting people driving around in an Escalde!!

Well, I guess I'm just venting now! Can anyone give me any thoughts on how other states are??? Are they any better, or is this the norm throughout our country now???

The only good thing about Cali is our weather, and the Stagecoach Festival 4/25 & 4/26!!!!!!!!!!!

These people are fighting the good fight everyday at our capitol. Support them however you can. We plan on going to the Lobby Days they sponser every time we can.

Also, does anyone else know of any other Tea Parties around the state (specifically around the Bay/Sacramento area?) Or do I need to get moving on organizing one myself? :)

There are some important issues happening in Ca right now....

1. What the heck are our legislators doing seriously considering legalizing marijuana
(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123552248140364907.html )
Oh that's a great solution to our budget deficit. Now those who are already on welfare getting high can do so easier and remain in a doped up state of mind. Aint life grand?

2nd We here all of this publicity about SF mayor Gavin Newsom running for Gov, just what we need another American hating liberal in an already desperate state. Do we have a good conservative to run against him and if so were is he/she?? Or am I too optimistic that we could even produce a conservative candidate in this crazy state?
