And so it goes, one thing after another. But, in spite of the looney tunes, this is a great  state, easily the best. Unfortunately, that's why so many “people” come here and stay. That said, harness all that frustration and GET IN THE FIGHT! I complain too, but that doesn't help, only action matters. The simplest way to fight back is support an Hey, guys, I'm a relative newbie and only just found this thread.   You think you've got problems, you should see what we go through in South Arica.   I'm a bit nervous to get into politics because that's not what this forum is about.   Let me just say that politics is what is screwing you (and the rest of us) and offer some pointers.   To start with, I'm sure y'all remember Senator Bill Richardson ?   He wrots a great little book called “Confrontational Politics."   Do yourselves a favour whether you live in California or elsewhere, get a copy ASAP.   You'll learn a thing or two about how to handle the leftist “do gooders." 

Yes, I can tell you from personal experience as a pro gun activist for several years that only action will get you anywhere.   Yeah, I know you shouldn't have to, but that's how it is.   They will take you to pieces bit by bit as they have done to us here.   We came close to successfully resisting because of a huge effort by a handful of us, and we lost only because we didn't have enough guys willing to get their hands dirty.   The lesson was that we could have won if enough guys had fought.

My observation of the US is that it has enough people still committed to freedom to win these battles.   Let me mention one particular pointer to that.   In Anglo Saxon countries like UK, Canada, Australia and NZ, typically 2% of voters are paid up members of political parties.   I'm told that it is more like 30% in the US.   That indicates a much bigger willingness to participate.   You guys can win this, but only if enough of you take part in the action.  

You can start by voting out the sitting government, or at least delivering some shocks in marginal seats.   Then get to work on the bureaucrats.   Its a big undertaking, but my gut feel is that you have the resources and willingness to fight that we did not, at least in sufficient numbers.

Start with Bill Richardson's book, then call him and ask him what advice he can give you.
