By Stephen Frank on Jan 22, 2016 07:52 pm In the Bay Area, why have elections? In most districts for Assembly, State Senate or Congress you have your choice of Democrat Socialists or Democrat Totalitarians—those promoting freedom are not allowed to get to the November ballot—thanks to a very rich Bay Area Republican, who wanted assurances that Democrats win seats in Congress or the […] Read More and Comment: Bay Area regional government merger: Is anyone asking why?
