   At least he is getting his point across,”Loud and Clear.”
   I have always found it facinating, especially around any Fed or State Election, the major political differences between coastal/urban areas and the Central Valley.
   HWY 5 north to south is pure “Hardcore Red State.”

   Check out this interesting tidbit from http://www.elkgrovenews.net/2013/07/jerry-browns-war-on-first-amendment
   In an alarming move against the First Amendment, Governor Jerry Brown is apparently using the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to silence critics of his proposed peripheral tunnels under the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, according to Restore the Delta (RTD).
   The Stockton-based group called on Brown to order Caltrans crews to cease confiscating “Save the Delta! Stop the Tunnels!” signs displayed by Delta land and business owners, even though these signs are posted on private property…..
   An action alert from Restore the Delta on July 8 stated, “According to Jeff Bennett, Supervisor at the Cal Trans Rio Vista office, display of such signs is in violation of Streets and Highways Code 54053, because our message is supposedly a political campaign message and political messages cannot be displayed within 660 feet of a public right of way. According to Mr. Bennett, our signs have nothing to do with the operation of the businesses at which they are displayed.”
   “Never mind that there is no registered political campaign for or against the tunnels, as the State of California claims that the project can be built without a vote of the people. Never mind that the tunnels will have direct impacts on Delta businesses,” according to the group.
