What Can We Do Now What Can We Do Now
Water March – Make sure farmers have the necessities to grow and support farms. Let the farmers regulate their farms, not the government
Lower taxes – California is becoming an anti-business state because taxes are too high. Therefore, we are loosing job opportunities and weaken our economy.
Stimulus Package – will do nothing to stimulate the economy. Need to lower taxes and produce jobs.
