Last stop for hundreds of Stars, Celebrities, Moguls, Misers and misfits, the Bad and the Beautiful. Fabulous funerals from Rudolph Valintino and Barbara LeMarr to Sammy Davis Jr. , where thousands jammed the streets; glitzy theme park fashioned cemeteries, tombstones shaped like automobiles and parking meters, weird and wonderful epitaphs; Mel Blanc's "That's all folks!" , Over My Dead Body" George Bernard Shaw, "Do Not Disturb" , Constance Bennett. Groucho's disappearing ashes and Errol Flynn's kidnapping. Strange last requests, last promises, last vengeance's. You know them all. California is the place to "go".

Public employees have become the new American elite. In the past, Government workers earned less money but had slightly better job security and benefits than Americans working in the private sector. These days, government workers not only earn more than other Americans, but they have vastly superior benefits, including pension plans that often allow them to retire as early as age 50 with 100 percent or more of their final year's salary. These pensions often to $100,000 a year and come with cost of living adjustments and free lifetime medical care. Getting a government job and sticking with it is like winning the lottery. This plundering of treasuries, made possible by aggressive union tactics and spineless politicians, results in higher taxes and massive debts that ultimately will be borne by our grandchildren. The current situation is "unsustainable." The problem goes beyond finances. Government unions protect even the worst public employees from accountability. Schools don't attempt to fire incompetent teachers-and union protections make it nearly impossible to even fire ones accused of abuse and other misdeeds. As government gets bigger and more powerful, government officials have more uncontrolled power over the rest of us-to enrich and protect themselves at the expense of the public good. The public's servants have truly become the public's masters.

Over the years, special interests and mismanagement have driven the federal and state governments completely off the track. Once prosperous and flourishing, many American states today are insolvent, dysfunctional, and ungovernable. Now, based upon his experiences as a veteran trial court judge, his solid Libertarian principles and his observations on the election process based on his personal involvement, Judge James P. Gray (ret.) presents a number of effective solutions for some of America s most pressing problems. Judge Gray addresses bedrock principles that made America great in the first place and suggests particular changes in our nation s governmental, tax and energy systems. He shows how we would be safer, healthier, better educated and more successful by implementing specific changes in our systems of Criminal Justice, Healthcare, Education and Immigration. The suggestions made by Judge Gray are straightforward and workable. Democracy is a participatory exercise and the best way to turn government around is to heed Judge Gray s Call to Action.
