The GOP are killing us in that area. But then again, it is hard to compete with a salesman who has no qualms about lying.

We're smaller in Oregon, but we're trying hard.

Congrats to Kate Brown, our nation's first openly LGBT governor!

Colorado went for Hillary, but we're far from blue. Just enough Dems for honest districts and honest elections, but we can feel the red breathing down our necks.

My work and bars are as diverse as can be.

We get along just fine!

The rest of the country is (not) welcome to their bigotry and hate, just keep it out of California!

People are People. This song nails it.

Unlike the last time they briefly had one.

And the other question is, will Gov. Brown veto everything they pass, as has been his wont these past six years?

I'm committing to CALLING my state reps regularly. We all need to do that. And often.

In which those of you reading this in and around Sac commit to actually VISITING the state reps that Auggie, I and others cannot, unless, like Sen. Jim Beall (D-San Jose), they have frequent community events with actual public input allowed.
