Fox News loves to say that CA is doomed. The truth is -- CA's economy has continued to outperform the nation. We were just named the fourth largest economy in the WORLD -- outpacing Japan. Our growth rate last year outpaced the U.S., China, and Germany. Our state population is increasing. We’re #1 for new business starts, access to venture capital funding, manufacturing, and agriculture. California isn’t just keeping pace with the world… we’re setting the pace.

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.

In the darkness of a boarding school night, my mother said she could hear the other kids weeping for their parents. The children were forbidden to speak Lakota by the missionaries. So they spoke the language in their prayers. A thousand prayers from a thousand lonely hearts. – at Los Angeles, CA
