Dear Congressman McClintock,
Surely you can make a more intelligent response to the problem of law abiding citizens shooting children in school than the email you recently sent to Ms. Gregoire in Pilot Hill (set out below). More guns and assault rifles and arming every citizen 24/7, apparently including children, will only make death by gunshot more common in the …
Seventeen died yesterday at a Florida High School and fourteen more wounded. It took only two minutes for the legally purchased AR-15 to mow them down.
The NRA exalts the unrestricted right to buy military assault weapons designed not for hunting or self-defense but for attack. They say civilians regardless of mental status, history of abuse, lack of training, or …
Is this the Faustian bargain proposed by Stephen Miller and the “White” House?
All DACA did was defer deportation of children brought here when they were too young to knowingly violate the law until we could come up with something less cruel. The idea was to deport criminals first and innocent children last. The proposal to let them stay but …
This morning I met a blue velvet sky, punctuated with stars like sequins on my Western blouse, which hung over The Hollow. It found me putting on layers, finding gloves and packing up dog cookies.
It was the morning of the second Women’s March. The night before I had made a small poster stating “VOTE – 2018”. After deciding to …
I went to my own Women’s March in Chico! My daughter and my friends husband came with me and it was nice to have such diversity just in my little group! Younger gen, older gen, male and me!

Yesterday, President Trump decided to disband his Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. As you may know, LDF filed suit against the President and the Commission last summer on the grounds that it was formed to discriminate against African American and Latino voters.
