87. We need to continue the fight
more than ever.

Social service programs have become a dirty word
in some circles of jerks and are the first to go on
the chopping block when there are budget cuts.
Just ask our state senate Republicans.

:(

We in CA are facing this with our state budget crisis.

John Chiang, our State Controller stated that if a budget
agreement is not reached by February, funding would be
cut for programs that help the blind, disabled and elderly.

The homeless aren't even mentioned!

It's really sickening.
