Office of the Attorney General
State of California
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
I urgently need you, Office of the Attorney General of the State of California, to demand that all State Attorneys General file an Amicus Brief stating they agree that the individual right to keep and bear arms is protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution and applies to all 50 states.
McDonald v. Chicago., et al.
Edmund G. Brown, Jr.
Defense of ones' person, by whatever means necessary, is a natural right, that can not be denied or granted by the state. The Second Amendment does not grant this right. It is a guarantee that the Federal Government and the Several States will not abridge such rights.
As Attorney General of the State of California you have sworn to uphold those guarantees contained in and enumerated by the First Ten Amendments.
Respectfully,
Lightfoot Letters

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Problems progressives in public education cause or make worse.
1. You can not force young males to accept life styles that conflict with their genetic makeup. This can lead to psychological harm and eventually violence.
2. You can not teach young males not to defend themselves. One who can not or will not defend themselves will not defend others.
3, The concept of self-esteem is not something you can give or teach as put forth by public education. Self-esteem comes from personal accomplishment. Which, public education has diminished in the class room and on the playing field.
4 "To raise a child in a society without consequences is not in the best interest of the child or society." (related to No. 3.) Problems progressives in public education cause or make worse.
5. Public education must stop the practice of punishment for young males that belong to the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, ROTC or like organizations. And, stop any policies that hinder or restrict like organizations at each and every educational level. And at the same time allow and finance race/segregation based political organizations like The Race.

Most of the serious problems on campus is caused or made worse by progressives in public education.
*In the past kids could get a pack of smokes pretty easy. However, it was next to impossible to get beer, drugs or guns. Today it is slightly more difficult to get a pack of smokes. However, beer, drugs and guns are easily obtainable. In the past kids did not care if you were gay, straight or somewhere in between. According to public education, today it is a crisis at every level of a kids life. If kids have civil rights, they have a right to be kids. The progressive education system is a serious violation of those rights.
Sincerely,
Lightfoot Letters
ps: To teach or enforce the idea that diversity of loyalty, language, culture, race is strength, may not be a violation of civil rights. However, is is a failure of your professional duty to educate. Thru out history diversity has been a major cause of the nation state to fail. A diversity of 'ideas' often creates strength among various groups and individuals.

real simple answer to this,private schools with vouchers,get that marxist out of office and it will start happening.
That will bring about some change. However, many of the private schools are not a lot different than public education.
What is the first thing you'd like to see Barack Obama do as President of the United States?
AFTER BREAKFAST: Rescind all Federal Laws and Programs that reward or punish citizens based on race, culture, language or religion. AFTER LUNCH: Rescind the Prescription Drug Bill passed by Congress and signed by President Bush. Not bad for a days work, Even for President Obama.
Every self-respecting Citizen needs one!
George and Sharlee McNamee bought their home 32 years ago in Corona del Mar, California. In 2001 the California Coastal Commission decided to tell George and Sharlee how and under what circumstances they could use their property which amounts to constructive eminent domain without just compensation. In fact no compensation what so ever, only threats.
The Coastal Commission creates policy, rules and regulations that carry the weight of law, with fines and punishment, but do not follow the 'rule of law.' In this case fines of six thousand dollars per day. This is a clear violation of the 'seperation of powers' doctrine. That is; to make policy (legislate) with the weight of law and enforce the same policy with the force of law (judicial) by the same agency.
If there was ever a time for the City of Newport Beach to step up to the plate for a citizen, that time is now! The City should do whatever it can thru legal action or otherwise to deal with the Coastal Commission in defense of George and Sharlee. Especially, since the Coastal Commission is accountable to no one. Not the County of Orange, The City of Newport Beach and especially not mere senior citizens in their 70s.
If the City of Newport Beach can not or will not go to bat for one of its own we have elected the wrong people. People who can not tell right from wrong and have no respect for the 'rule of law. These seem like strong words and they are intended to be so regarding the Coastal Commission that acts like the King or a Banana Republic with the force of a dictator. And, I do realize Newport Beach is between a rock and a hard place with few options because the Coastal Commission treats the City no better than the McNamee's. But that can be overcome, if we as a people, support efforts by the City to retain control by local government for local citizens. Yes, this could cost lots of money, blood, sweat and some tears. But to rid the community of an un-elected king, tyrant or dictator will always be worth the cost.
I think John Phillips of KABC Radio said it best, "Joseph Stalin is back in charge."

Now that Obama has been elected President, what is the first change you would like to see him make once he is in office?
If the President-Elect is truly a person of change the first thing he should do is rescind the Prescription Drug Bill passed by this Congress and signed by President Bush. It is true that 3-4 % of Seniors need help with their prescription drugs costs. However, this one-size fits all, bill was and is a failure before the ink dried. Even in a social welfare state Social Security, which is also failing, should have been addressed first.
