I realize that many have moved away from California, and they are happy for
this. No problem, everyone has their right to settle anywhere they wish.

Please remember, that those who are living in California, do care for this
situation, and we do not have just our own interest in mind. Most of the
time when one of the 50 States passes a Bill, the other 49 States follow
suit. Especially in this time of the "Government's need to know
everything... from the dead along with the living". What is a few seconds
to just push the delete button? It is not like we are sending spam and you
don't know who we are. We are not selling something, instead most of the
time we are just searching for a common goal. Too bad it sounds like some
people only care of the facts when it's "In their own backyard".

I hope those who are subscribing to any California mailing list are not just
wanting others to provide information and not really concerned what is going
on.

Thank you for reading my opinion,
A Proud Third Generation Californian

P.S. I hope you are having a great day, today in Sunny Pleasant Hill,
California it is about 82 degrees and about 10 percent humidity (if that)
with a really nice breeze in the middle of the afternoon.
