OMG... how to keep the state parks open now?
Did you vote?
I hope you did.
So... I am a bit upset at a certain prop in CA not being passed...
Prop 21...no not 19... 21.
Prop 21 was a tax on Californians to help keep State parks funded, so they can a. stay open, b. keep employees working at the parks, c. keep the parks clean and d. keep the parks safe.
In the last couple of years California politicians, have found ways to get out of the budget crisis... this is by cutting the State park budget. This means that parks have been closed part time, and they have less employees.
Now... as a native to California I dont like that.....
I grew up going to these parks. I want my kids to be able to go to these parks.
So what would have happened had 21 passed... is that Californians would have paid an extra $18 a year, and with that you got free admission and parking to any CA State park.
Now personally I dont think that is too much to pay... if you break it down its $1.50 a month....
$1.50 a month to keep jobs in CA
$1.50 a month to keep parks OPEN
$1.50 a month to keep parks clean
$1.50 a month to keep parks safe
So... because this didnt pass... I am now on "We must help the parks mode"
So... my friend Kelly showed me a link about how the parks in a crisis...and on that same site... I found a link to donate money to....
So here is the link... please DONATE!!!!!
and pass this link on... we need to keep the parks open.
How many of like to camp, like to hike, like to be out in the great outdoors?
Well.. the great outdoors needs your help.
so please donate...
or you can shop on their site...and buy goods that will help support the parks
Sonoma State Beach

Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park
Anza- Borrego Desert State Park

Im sorry this blog is soooo preachy... I am just a true believer of doing things....and saving the beauty of our state is doing something.
I hope you did.
