I'm thinking about sending you a buck, but as a member of the Alaskan
Independence Party, I want to know what you are planning to do about
closing California's porous borders. There are way too many
Californians up here already; something needs to be done on your end to
stem the tide, since the increased bag limits during hunting season have

I've made some reasonable rules for myself...one being $2 for "me and the wife"
or $4 for "me, the wife, and the two kids". When it comes to $100 for "me, the

without more substantiation.

I just spent 12 hours standing up at the county fair gathering signatures. I am

owe are starting to stack up.....But promise me that if you win and
Mayor Daley's plane from Chicago shows up, you will temporarily close
any reliever airport near his jet (like he did Miegs Field) for
national security reasons. Then when he trys to land in the bay area
or LA sic the Air National Guard F-16's on his butt, and have them
escort his pathetic plane out of the state.

If he comes back, have your neighbor Chuck Yeager threaten to do
airshows over his skyscrapers. That's all. Thanks Jim ;-)

Jim,
I worked in CA for a while last decade, and loved the climate
(meterological)
but not the other climate (political).
I own a very nice Springfield M1A NM target rifle that would get me thrown
in PRISON in CA for its mere possession ... based on its looks ... and only
its
looks.
I note that you are a democrat ... they are the ones in CA that enacted what
became known as the 'ugly gun laws'. I am neither D nor R ... both want to
make more laws, take my money and give it to folks that they think deserve
it
(which we called communism in the old days!), and otherwise violate my
constituional rights.

The most idiotic one is the law that prohibits the sale of guns that
haven't passed California's special safety test. A couple of years
ago I was in a gun store where they were selling a batch of beautiful,
expensive revolvers for 30% off before the ban went into effect.
