Armchair activism

Doing a bit of research before heading out to McClintock's office for the 'Flunk The Budget' rally. There's quite a few tools and links at the CA PTA website, for your use and interest.
Of particualr interest to me is the California Budget Project website. Our state budget isn't in the red because times are tough, our state budget is in the red because of structural problems that just get worse every cycle. Corporations don't pay their fair share, personal income tax rates are regressive, and one of the unintended (I think) by-products of prop 13 is that Sacramento controls quite a bit of what used to be local money. And I don't think Sacramento's been doing it very efficiently.

Anyway. Go write a letter.
