Release all people that are in jail on marijuana charges....LET MY PEOPLE GO!

bill crawford, since you don't actually LIVE in CA, you are in the perfect position to cast aspersions on the state, right? I could likewise, or even better comment on the corruption in YOUR state. However that gets us nowhere. The fact is, dear uninformed Red One, CA is a Blue State for a reason. That is, most people here realize the value of community and working together. We like Jerry Brown, just fine! His Dad was also a good governor. It was Pete Wilson and Arnie who trashed the state. But I bet you didn't know that CA only gets back 80¢ of every federal tax dollar we send to DC, reinvested in the state. Other states, mostly RED states, get up to $2.03 per dollar. This means that CA is SUBSIDIZING Red States! Dude! Your state subsidizes the Red states too! California represents 25% of the US economy alone. Throw in NY, NJ, OR, WA and the rest of New England and you are approaching 50% fast. The Blue States can take care of their inner city poor with our 50%, and the Red States can pay all the welfare payments to their farmers, build their roads and run their state colleges with their 50%. I am so tired of conservatives complaining about the federal government that I wish they would leave the Union and form their own third world country before they turn mine into one. I've been all over the country, and I can tell which states get money to burn, and which supply the money to burn, just by looking at their road maintenance and general appearance of buildings and facilities.... It's not hard to miss. Get out and look around some. And put a Blue Crayon in your hand. It won't hurt you.

This country is going to hell in a hand basket.  We must be the laughing stock of the entire planet.
