Deborah, this political duopoly fighting over total lies is what has created your problems and mine. And all those of all others. BOTH "parties" are not doing their jobs, BOTH parties wrong. I appreciate NONE of them and do not believe either can or has any intention to do anything. Check my profile for the foster care info. There has been total 100% Democrat control of Los Angeles County since the Riordans (late 80s) - and total CA since 1990s. I saw so many parents and children separated during my time at the Ed Edelman's Children's Courthouse in Monterey Park. I am a former mandated child abuse reporter. You may blame conservative Republicans and I have little doubt they are responsible for the wrongdoing in their controlled areas. As are every single one, every single political party, the system is interested only in itself, regardless of these meaningless letters and identification.
