This is treason in itself.
Donald Trump is our President. Even my state senator Ben Allen had to admit it. No one can run away from the truth.
Now she wants to launch sedition against the White House? Sorry, but last time I checked, the state of California is still very much part of the United States of America. The lawlessness of corrupt Democrats must cease, and they need to respect our President or leave the country.
This Maria Durazo Labor puppet wants to push everyone around, now, and she wants a seat at the state senate table. We can do better than this, everyone. We must stand up to this abusive bully and make it very clear: Respect our President!

We need more Republicans in this district, and we need more Republicans explaining to the Democratic voters that the labor unions have turned into regressive leftist puppets which care more about getting rich off working people, than helping working people get rich.

Free healthcare? No such creature. Everything costs something. Do they really think that they can continue to pull the wool over people's eyes? The whole universal healthcare scam is falling apart in other countries. Canada's single payer program is a total failure, with black market private health care clinics operating all over that country.
