Senator Anderson a "great politician"

If you go to Tijuana, Mexico and points south, you will find every wall covered with graffiti. They don’t remove it for fear of retribution and don’t report it to the police or government, never knowing who is part of the criminal element in this third world, failed state.

To make a positive difference in society, one may have to take risks and make sacrifices.

Here we have a different problem. Instead of overt graft and corruption, the state legislator under California Government Code 6253.9 gives government entities the right to charge for their services. This code is also subject to abuse.

I asked the Sheriff’s Dept. for crime statistics for Fallbrook/Bonsall. Sheriff Gore replied saying the statistics would cost me $50. This is an abuse of Code 6253.9. Don’t we pay taxes?

I asked Senator Joel Anderson about this. His subordinates danced around the issue and said my only recourse was to make “legislative change in the law.” Senator Anderson refuses to talk to me or take a stand on the issue, making him a “great politician.”

A “great politician” is one who says the right thing at the right time to the right crowd and avoids any controversial stand where someone might be offended.

Our representatives have elevated themselves and are unapproachable except to high-roller contributors and ranking supporters.

We, the people, through our apathy are responsible for creating this attitude from our representatives. It is time we take control of our politicians, our crime, and our government.
