Can you or I or any of the general public afford to donate 10-15-20 thousand to a Cause? Which people will get heard?
I would bet that Barbara and Nancy have many Causes... and the state of California is advancing because of it....
As usual you are spot on with your comment. this goes on throughout government, Federal,State and local levels.this is why their all in trouble financially. no one does the right thing,just what's right for them politically. we can't hunt mountain lions here, anywhere in the state that the condor/buzzard calls home, the individual counties here decide if and when we can hunt does. not the fish and game.. it's craziness!
