Get the Feds off our back. The Federal Government is sucking us dry but the reason for that is our State Government. Poor judgment on the part of the electorate has placed an anti American government in power in Washington and in Sacramento. The Tenth Amendment protects us from this form of tyranny from the Federal Government but the State government has failed to assert our Constitutional rights, the rights for which so many have laid down their lives. Every one knows one rotten apple spoils the barrel. At this point, all but the simplest hind can readily perceive that the barrels are rotten and so replacing one apple only results in another apple turning rotten.
The proper way to start is at the lowest level. The town and city councils and mayors have set us off on the road to disaster by failing to protect us from the problems of over development. As the local planning committees have approved new developments of housing the mayors and council members have bought them off without due care for the effects of overloading the infrastructure of their town or city. I would, at this point remind everyone that Southern California is a desert. Water has always been a consideration and periodic droughts have been our way of life. To allow over development in an area such as ours is criminal but the councils and mayors continue to sign off on new development with wild abandonment.
Where our town and city mayors and council members thus betray us we must put them out of office as soon as possible and replace them with people who will meet our needs.
We must contact our State Assembly members and DEMAND that they assert our rights under the Tenth Amendment as is our Constitutional Right and, if they refuse, replace them with loyal United States Citizens who will represent US.

The States are designed you be our voice and backbone in the fact of unconstitutional oversteps by the Federal Government.

When your done protesting this is where you start organizing your defence.
