Our Politicos are watching out for us. They passed and the Governor signed AB182 which makes it illegal to use hidden video cameras to take images up a woman's skirt or blouses. It now will be illegal for these perverts to hide video cameras in restrooms i.e. toilets at the beaches, parks, and Disneyland and photograph women doing their thing.
We can all sleep better tonight or better yet turn on television and see it all!

Pregunta: Why did Governor Gray Davis rush to compromise with all the Indians after Prop 5 was declared unconstitutional (with California Constitution)? More to the point why did so many Chicano legislatures rush to defend the Indians? Was it because they really cared about them or was there another reason???
RESPUESTA: Could it be that the Governor Davis received $900,000 for his campaign and then $400,000 more for his inauguration expenses? That's at least $1,300,000 that we know of! Thats a lot of beads Governor.
Lt. Governor Cruz Bus-tamante somehow couldn't refuse their wampum either. He took $603,000 of their gambling earnings. Add this to Agribusiness gifts and this man is well cared for.
Senator Tony Cardenas, Chairman of the Assembly Select Committee on Indian Gaming was given $460,000. This guy won't see a gaming bill that he will be able to object to.
Attorney General Bill Lockyer got $185,000. And he is the head lawman of the state!
Senator Richard Polanco got a miserly $183,000. Oh well he will learn about la Mordida American style.
All in all the Tribes gave the poor starving Sacramento politicos over $9 MILLION !
Now you know why the rush is on to save those poor rich Indians. As they say FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL AND YOU KNOW WHO OWNS WHO!!!
