California Democrats were so sure that Hillary was going to win, they did not ask President Obama to destroy the State economically prior to the election. They knew that Clinton would kill California jobs, force more illegal aliens into the State, cause higher energy costs—to force more of the middle class out of the State. Guv Brown and friends had all the time to finalize the economic disaster they have been planning. The new Socialist Paradise was going to be signed into law by President Hillary Clinton—but the people of the United States got in the way.
“California’s legislative leaders are going on the offensive against President-elect Donald Trump. Progressives in the state, which went solidly for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election, are concerned that a conservative Trump administration could undermine or undo policies related to the environment, immigration and civil rights.
In an effort to head off one potential impact, Senate Democrats have sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking him to permanently ban new oil and gas drilling in federal waters off California’s coast.
It does not matter—time is up. Any order given by Obama, without the permission of Congress, will be over turned by Trump. Even better every Executive Order, regulation or Memo (like forcing schools into allowing boys in girls bathrooms) when over turned by Trump will prove that his word is good, he represents the people, not the special interests and creates jobs—instead of killing them. Obama is making Trump stronger. Thank you Barack.
Bracing for the Trump Era, California Leaders Reach Out to Obama for Help
California’s legislative leaders are going on the offensive against President-elect Donald Trump. Progressives in the state, which went solidly for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election, are concerned that a conservative Trump administration could undermine or undo policies related to the environment, immigration and civil rights.
In an effort to head off one potential impact, Senate Democrats have sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking him to permanently ban new oil and gas drilling in federal waters off California’s coast.
“A sizeable spill off our coast would have a devastating impact on our population, recreation, natural resources, and our ocean and coastal dependent economies,” the senators wrote in a portion of the letter released to the media. “Expanded offshore oil and gas drilling also undermines the important strides we have made both as a state and as a nation to address climate change and promote a clean energy economy.”
Senate leader Kevin de León last month met with House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to discuss how best to protect progressive policies after Obama leaves office.
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon said he’s had meetings with the Obama administration. Rendon said he sought their insights into what the future holds and discussed how to close out some remaining business the state has with the current administration.
“For example… we have 24 percent of the country’s homeless veteran population, but we only get about 19 percent of the country’s homeless veteran vouchers,” he said. “So we’ve been trying to be aggressive about making sure that we get our fair share.”
Rendon admits it does feel as if Democrats are on the defensive right now. But he says lawmakers will work to protect policies surrounding immigration, health care and climate change, among others.
