Default We're so proud of our Representative

Go 51st California Congressional
One of the most Gerrymandered Districts in the Great State of California! For there is not a single continuously paved route that one can drive on to go from the west and east extremes of my district.

I'm glad to hear we are not alone in that problem Another members of Unpawed Routes Club

This is the shot of road in Yakutia two or three years ago. But authorities tell they now have enough money to pave this road and many others. Well - the sooner -the better or it would be mutiny in that parts of the country.

Why, yes. I can very much imagine this problem. I had something very close to that specific issue the last time I was down near San Diego.



I'd also like to take this opportunity to say Rand McNally sucks.

Uhh... The proper name for that state is Kalifornia! Get it right next time.

I hear Kali is going ahead with a state healthcare system. Doesn't suprise me since I think half the illegals are voting somehow and want free healthcare. Now we can watch the already bankrupt Kali go completely bankrupt.

Not sure how dems do it over there, but they have the 7th largest economy out of the entire world alone in that state, but they are still bankrupt.

It's due to the fact that those with more liberal agendas hold a supermajority in both the States' Upper and Lower Legislative Bodies. This means, that even with the Veto Pen . . . GOV Arnold can't really stop anything that has some serious left weight behind it.

And yes, it is a felony to vote if you aren't a US Citizen in the State of California. But this is also a state where you aren't required to have a proof positive picture ID to prove you are a citizen to vote. They'll even except Gym membership cards!

The latest telephone poll taken by the California Governor's office, asked whether people who live in California think illegal immigration is a serious problem:

29% of respondents answered: "Yes, it is a serious problem."

71% of respondents answered: "No es una problema seriosa."
