You may know who Ward Connerly is, he
is a black conservative from California. Connerly’s mission
has been based mainly in education, he is trying to end affirmative
action in California because he feels it is not productive for
minorities.
Connerly asks a great question about the Golden
State and the direction it is heading. “Have you ever wondered
why the people of California have such an appetite for the voter
initiative process? Proposition 13 (reformed the property tax).
"Three Strikes" (got criminals off the streets). Proposition
187 (prohibited public services for illegal immigrants). Proposition
209 (ended race preferences), and Proposition 227 (reformed bilingual
education) are all high profile examples of actions taken by the
people of California over the past 25 years. None of the above
could clear even the policy committee in the house of origin of
the bicameral California Legislature when legislation was introduced
to enact these reforms, despite the fact that all of them were
subsequently approved, overwhelmingly, by the people of the Golden
State.
Is California run by the people, and for the
people? Why does California stop the will of it’s people?
Is what happens in California a peep at what is in store for the
rest of America, where a few with a hidden agenda, run the show?
The Democrats in California refuse the will
of the people, seems they act that way in Texas as well. Could
it be the Democratic Party is NOT the party of the people?
That's
how I see it!
