Don't be hopeful for California as a whole, but just remember to not write us off. We're Americans, and the conservatives here are at least as conservative as in deep red parts of the country. We're battle hardened and have had to fight to defend our beliefs for our entire lives.

Don't buy in to the "They voted for this, they deserve it." We've been fighting to keep California from becoming an outright Communist state for at least a generation, and we do it because we love our fellow man, this state, and this country.
