Yet ANOTHER reason for those who hate bureaucracy, nanny-stating and over-regulation to support the “State of Jefferson” movement and get out of your oppressed urban areas and have the courage to move to rural areas where we appreciate and defend our God-given FREEDOM.
http://www.jeffersonstate.com can answer your questions…..
While we accept all Americans who may want to jump on the bandwagon, it’s much more gratifying to have built that wagon and help move it along.
Republicans….Democrats….Independents….Libertarians–we need all ideas to make the state work.
My PERSONAL exception is communists and socialists, islamist extremists and any other organizations that hate our what our country stands for.
God Bless the USA….it’s Time for 51!

Rock star? Like Alice Cooper on the album ‘Billion Dollar Babies’?

Alexander Tyler, the 18th century historian and jurist:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.”

She is a bureaucratic RAGWUS feeder, and an enemy of freedom.

Happy New Year to all!! 🙂

Given your first linked article, John, is it fair to say you’ve suddenly decided that wealth redistribution is perfectly fine public policy?

I remember how much all of you loved Arnold when you happily joined Darrel Issa in the Gray Davis recall. My, how times change and chickens come home, etc.

Another globalist cleaning out Comrades!

This power will cost you far more than your personal income tax annually within 3-5 years.

Yes, Mary Nichols is a rock star and has more power than the Governor to raise revenue for the government since AB32 gives her all the power to do so without any legislative votes. The current lower fuel prices will also camouflage the cap and trade tax coming in January on California fuel only, as NO OTHER STATE will see that tax. The hidden gas tax is another great way to hit the financially challenged with another cost! Lower income folks spend more as a percentage of their income on energy and work in industries that are most impacted by job losses.

According to the Board of Equalization the 1.24 gallons PER DAY of transportation fuels for each of our 38 million citizens equates to a usage of 47 million gallons of fuel per day which will generate almost $5 million dollars a DAY for the government with a minuscule 10 cent increase on fuels. The projected larger increases in fuel costs for Californians ONLY will obviously generate even a greater cash cow for Governor Brown.

AB32 was implemented in 2006 when CA contributed a minuscule 1% to the worlds GHG’s. Now 8 years later we have higher costs for energy and higher costs for every industry that relies on energy and the by-products from oil and we still have that 1% minuscule contribution to the World’s GHG’s. In the past 40 years, California’s population has nearly doubled to its present 38 million, but the air quality has gotten better, not worse. The primary things Mary Nichols and AB32 have done is to generate millions of dollars of income to the government at the expense of the financially challenged.
