Kelly from Los Angeles County
I have many generations of Californians behind me in my family. My Grandmother on my mothers side was from Italy and settled in Los Angeles in the 1800’s outside of Alvera Street in the Italian section of town where they were farmers. She always said, that California’s weather was just like Italy. She was baptized in the “original” Catholic Church on Alvera Street. On my fathers side my grandmother was from Nebraska. She and her husband relocated to Los Angeles in the 1930’s. Her husband was from Canada. They started a Ice Skating Troop called Icelandia which their children skated in, among others and eventually my mother. My grandfather said California is the land of Milk and Honey where you can own a business, raise a family and be free to live a good life! I ask, WHAT HAPPEN TO THAT? My father later in life tried to recapture that life by becoming a farmer in Chico California with his family. Then big companies (DOLE) moved in on the small farmers and tried to buy them out. My father stood strong with other small farmers in the area, and kept their farms to this day! They still remain private farms. Eventually they retired to Paradise, CA ( Both my parents properties were burnt to the ground along with my childhood memories of a wonderful small town experience with my family). My Sister remains in Chico CA, and has worked for Enloe Hospital for over 25 years. Our family has a long history in California and has seen many changes some good some bad. But we keep searching for that old California!
I went to school in San Francisco in 1976. What a wonderful city it was, and great memories. Today, I won’t step foot there (nothing but filth and deprivation, Hunger Games) due to Gavin Newsom’s and Nancy Pelosi corporate greed and mismanagement of state funds. Not to say that Gerry Brown was a prize! I don’t like that these people think they are untouchable and can do what ever they like in the name of the people. Believe ME when I say, “WE ARE GOING TO REACH OUT AND TOUCH YOU)! I know that my vote counts! We need a change in office, along with someone that loves our state. Doesn’t look at our state as a piggy bank for personal gain! And actually thinks about the people that live here! Stop selling us out to other countries and corporate businesses. Stop putting small businesses out of business with your BS laws and rules that no one can live by and survive. Help the farmers and families! that this state was built with! California can no Longer Be The Land of Rape and Honey they turned us out For!!
I Live in Los Angeles County. Thank you for your consideration to Recall Gavin.
