Patricia - call the Sierra Club and ask for help! This is a made in California problem. The solution has to be made in California. If the governor was a leader there would be hope. Perhaps a clear hard reality talk would be a refreshing approach.

According to the report, the contributions and personal relationships could explain why the Bush administration has refused requests by bipartisan groups of eight western governors and 20 members of the California congressional delegation to intervene in the California and regional power crisis, and cap wholesale electricity prices. Or maybe Bush just doesn't want to help a state that is overwhelmingly Democrat and is run by extremists. Maybe Bush just doesn't like to help a Democrat Governor who just happened to be the Chairman of the Campaign against him in the last election. Maybe Bush doesn't see any political benefit to help a state so opposed to his point of view. When you look at the make-up of this state and our legacy, who could blame Bush for looking the other way. The blame rests squarely on the people of California.
