If nothing is done, California will tax itself to death or go broke. We can no longer elect politicians with no accountability for their actions!

- Managed sensible immigration laws with no sanctuary cities.
- Remove radical sex education, muslim education, and crazy agendas from public schools
We must responsibly manage immigration with sensible sustainable policies without giving unearned benefits away.
