Republican policies?  Who's been running every aspect of government in this state for the last 35 years?  Liberal Democrats, that's who.  Ask Susan Castillo if you have problems with the schools.  Want more money for schools?  Ask the "liberal" environmentalists who block state and federal timber sales that by our state constitution were supposed to fund schools.  Republicans have stopped at every turn by you Democrats who think you know how best everyone should live their lives.  Stop blaming republicans and offer some solutions.
