Good day folks. All are welcome here, but ultimately this only effects Californian Dinarians. I will copy an article that pretty much covers it ALL. This one is from the Sacremento Bee online. BY DAVID SIDERS dsiders@sacbee.com Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León was promoting his new climate bill in a TV interview Monday when he was asked why lawmakers should grant authority to the California Air Resources Board – an unelected body – to decide how to implement provisions of the legislation, including reducing petroleum use in California. “Well, it was a board that started with Ronald Reagan back in the ’60s – they had the authority,” de León said on KCRA-TV in Sacramento. “My legislation would require them to come back and present the plan to the Legislature. So ultimately, the Legislature – those elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans – will be the ones ultimately responsible for voting the plan up or down.” Analysis: De León has the history of the California Air Resources Board right – but not his own bill. In a sweeping effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Senate Bill 350 would require the state to increase to 50 percent from one-third the amount of energy derived from renewable sources, while reducing petroleum use in motor vehicles by 50 percent by 2030. The legislation does not spell out how the state will achieve that level of petroleum reduction. Instead, it maintains the California Air Resources Board’s existing, broad authority over vehicle emissions and fuel standards. And it does not call for an “up or down” vote on ARB regulations. The issue is one of the most significant points of controversy in debate over SB 350, with some moderate Democrats in the Assembly calling for a future “up or down” vote on ARB plans. De León has said he is drafting amendments to address concerns about oversight of the board. But his office has suggested those amendments are unlikely to pull authority back entirely from the ARB.

Let alone the more recently built houses in these same cities. So we commute. I personally drive 88 miles round trip every day. If this bill is passed by our out of touch money hungry off the backs of the average working guy with a job and a house ( by their understanding and definition these things make us filthy rich and able to pay a bit more) it will kill me financially. My wife and I work, yet we are just getting by paycheck to paycheck as it is. Don't fool yourselves, this is just another "revenue stream" for them. Is the State of California going to pay for me when I cannot afford to by gas to go back and forth to work. Are they going to pay my moving expenses when move into a rental closer to my work paying more in rent than I am paying on my mortgage right now. The state is going to invade my privacy by placing a monitoring device in my car to monitor my driving habits and "fine" me even more if my habits don't fit into their model of a good driver. I don't trust them with any of my info more than I can throw them. Bottomline, please go to support.californiadriversalliance.org and sign their petition against this bill. You all can imagine how negatively this bill will effect your lives. So what move out of state? Who will buy my house in a state where they do this stuff. Its junk like this that will have this family move out of this otherwise beautiful state post RV. Thank you for your time. NYK Mods I hope this post meets with DV rules and regs. -
http://act.theteaparty.net/7391/defend-our-right-to-bear-arms/ Defend Our Right To Bear Arms 595,107 Letters and Emails Sent So Far For years, gun-grabbing liberals have tried to create a debate to "interpret" the Second Amendment in a way that would block free men from owning and carrying firearms. Every criminal act that involves a gun is immediately seized upon as a reason to further restrict access to purchase and carry firearms. The Second Amendment could not be more clear: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. While researching our strategy to counter the gun-grabbers this week I also came across this quote: “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” - Thomas Jefferson Notice that he doesn't say that allowing the carrying of arms will prevent ALL homicides, but call me the next time you hear about some psychopath shooting up a gun show. With the government considering a treaty with the UN that would restrict "small arms" and other very serious anti-gun legislation, it is critical that we send a clear message to our lawmakers in Washington. We will not compromise on our right to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. With all the anti-gun craziness coming this week, we need to remind Washington that there is NO FLEXIBILITY when it comes to the restriction of our constitutional right to own a weapon. Please take just a couple of minutes and make your voice heard HERE. Tell Washington "HANDS OFF MY GUNS" by signing the petition now, it will only take a couple of minutes!
