Thanks for posting that Mike. I hope the public will figure out that free money from private interests to help with the government process is not free.

California is one of the most corrupt states in the union. Its run by the criminals for the criminals and yet the voters keep voting the same criminals into office year after year.

Nice article...but it isn't corporate money. It's coming from rich "liberal" individuals. They may be associated with various corporations, but the money is coming from their own checkbook and their donations receive tax deduction status.
