67. it's late and I must have meandered. I'm back in CA, Costa Mesa, Orange County

Oct 2013

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher makes us look worse than we are. Our version of the GOP is to grab all the land - legally or illegally - they can for development and oppose labor. Very different attitude from our Conservatives than yours. Back in the day, they would have been socially liberal and "fiscally conservative". Now they can't afford to be concerned about women, the environment or gun restrictions, because that can't be tolerated in the GOP in 2013. Land grabs and climbing that fiscal ladder is about all they care about. Women have become a 4 letter word.

It stinks all over and I hope Bernie Sanders is strong enough to withstand the barbs thrown his way when he gets down into your territory. Also, he is coming to help YOU and let you know you aren't forgotten. I'm fortunate to be in CA, though Costa Mesa is trying to become a Charter City in order to avoid prevailing wage issues and other "consstraints" on their plans.

Good luck to us all.
