Vote!

Every red-blooded citizen of Orange County should be registered to vote by midnight on 01/22/08. Why? Because this is the first time in the history of voting in the United States that you have the opportunity to vote for someone other than a white Anglo-Saxon bloated businessman AKA "The Man" when you cast your vote during the presidential primary election occurring on February 5, 2008. And I think that's fabulous. Why shouldn't our elected officials look more like us? Have you looked at the census statistics for 2000?

50.8% of the total population are female
24.5% of Americans are something other than white
10.4% of Americans are veterans

...and look who is running for president...
Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
John McCain

But what really gets me going is not the presidential election at all. It's the California budget crisis and the pending propositions that ratify Indian gaming agreements with the state to pay even more in order to expand their casinos. Why does this bother me so? Not because the Indians want to expand their business, but because I don't want the California budget to be magically solved on the backs of Indians who finally have a voice at the table because they are holding more money in their hands now than ever before when the state government refuses to take action to preserve the public services the illegal immigrants drain from the property tax payers.

These two things especially need to be fixed:
1. You don't have to be a citizen to get a public school education. All you have to show is a proof of residence.
2. You don't have to be able to pay for medical services because everyone knows you can go to the emergency room of any hospital and not be refused treatment.
