I agree with Logan, it would be nice if our San Diego delegation would work together. It would be even better if our California congressmen would work together. If they would vote as a "block" on some of the important issues, it could help to resolve a lot of the state's problems. Quite often they seem to vote along party lines, instead of what is best for California.
One example was prior to the 2000 census, the Republicans pushed through restrictions on census counting methods that forced the use of mathematically incorrect statistics in order to reduce the population count in cities. As a result, California's population was under-counted, and the state lost millions in federal revenue each year through the whole decade. Had the Republicans in CA voted against it, the proposal would have died --but they were concerned that it would put the party at a disadvantage if more people were counted in cities than rural areas.
