California may end a decades-old ban on members of the Communist Party working in its government, after the state Assembly approved a bill that would delete references to the party from its employment requirements.The bill's sponsor, Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Oakland, said that California's laws should focus on individuals' actions and evidence rather than political affiliations and what he termed "empty labels."
Speaking on the floor of the Assembly, Bonta called the legislation a "cleanup bill that removes archaic and outdated references to the Communist Party in our state laws, specifically those stating that a public employee may be dismissed from employment if he or she advocates or is knowingly a member of the Communist Party."
The bill passed in a 41-30 vote, after a debate that touched on the Cold War, the U.S. history of fighting communism — and the potential for future conflicts.
While Bonta called the measure "an appropriate step forward" for the state, three of his Republican colleagues in the California Assembly rose to speak against the bill, AB 22.

Jeesh. What an outdated law. What silly opposition to this bill. How can America, "the land of the free" not allow individuals into a job because of political ideology or what political party you belong to. Bout damn time for this silly policy to get the boot in California. [/FONT][/COLOR]

California is basically a communist state already. This does not surprise me.

As a Californian feel I have to respond. What makes us communist?
Nazi’s could already freely work for the state. It seems they were never restricted. Make of that what you will.Yea might as well let Nazi's in there while they are at it.
The fact that the state government is dominated by the Democratic Party, of course. You do realize that Democrat, Socialist, Communist, Marxist, and liberal are all synonyms don't you?
I for one find the idea of commies working for pay hilarious. Silly wage slaves.

I'd strongly suggest refraining from attempting to use words one doesn't understand.
So you don't like living in a communist state?
Since you don't understand the word 'communist', why continue to attempt to use it and embarrass yourself?
What's the point?
Is that what they teach you in Commu-fornia?
OK, here's you big chance: step up to the plate and take a swing.
How, exactly, is California communist?
There's the pitch....
You don't do humor, huh?
Although, if you compare the Democratic Party's Platform or the speeches of Nancy Pelosi with what's written in the Communist Manifesto.... eerily similar.
LOL! I do humor just fine. Let me know when you get some.

The follies of the young, when influenced by the left. History tends to repeat itself. 100 years ago there was a civil war fought over Communism, that when won led to decades of suffering and slaughter. There are reasons, still relevant today, that laws exist that prohibit Communists from holding power in the US.
