The purpose of our group is to give people a venue for actively changing where California is heading due to its fiscal and moral irresponsibility, as well as its continuous attacks, by way of over-regulation and high taxation, on business and industry (California's economic engine)---an attack which affects every individual resident's prosperity!

We are focused completely on fiscal responsible government, local and national. We are for Constitutional government. We are for a free market economy.
