Soon, I'll post some instructions on how to post your own blogs, how to upload videos to our YouTube group, and other fun stuff.

But to get us started for now, post your ideas for things we can do to put some head under the behinds of our electoral hopefuls to start addressing our issues.

I think the Dems have been taking California's votes for granted for too long, and if they aren't here, talking to voters about what's important to us, Californians might either not be inspired to go vote at all, or might switch their votes in critical congressional and state legislature elections.

And then there's after the election--what will they do to get California its share of the Federal pie? Californians pay more in taxes than they get in Federal money by a huge margin, even when you subtract foreign aid. Of course we want the levees fixed in New Orleans, but we also want them fixed in Sacramento.

So post your ideas here, and don't forget to invite your friends and family to submit their questions to the candidates.
