| Sorry, but everything I run a search for shows her as still being a senator. |

From what I found her term limit was up in December of 2006...I don't know what is up with this fat pig either.
Anyway I sent Senator, or former Senator Shamu there an e-mail titled "If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black." Which refers to her maybe looking in a mirror before she decides what the rest of us should be doing.
I'll let you know if I get a response. |

Darkseid wrote: California Bans Smoking in Cars With Small Children Present
If you're in California and you smoke, you'll want to stub your cigarette out before getting into a car with a small child from now on.
The California State Senate voted 23-14 Monday, to pass a bill banning smoking in vehicles when there are children present who are required by law to be in a safety seat. Kids who are 6 years old and under and weigh less than 60 lbs. will be protected by this new bill, the idea being to shield those children who are too small to protect themselves against the dangers of second hand smoke. Offenders could now be slapped with a $100 fine if caught lighting up.
From Senator Deborah Ortiz: "We all know that secondhand smoke is hazardous. Children are effectively smoking a pack and a half a day for every hour they are exposed to smoke in a car."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't know what Ah-Nuld will do, as he has the option to sign it or veto. but he made the comment that people who smoke in cars with children present are bad people, more or less.
That sucks to see California became another one of those a**hat states w/car smoking bans, though I'm not surprised to see that antis there had been trying to pass such a law for some time(or at least have wanted one, since Arkansas became the 1st state to have such a law, which also passed around the same time that their statewide ban started). They've(CA antis) been continuously also trying all this time to pass a statewide beach smoking ban for several years, too(ever since the first of the city/town/suburb CA beach smoking bans passed around 2005-ish).
BTW, was the car smoking ban proposal that passed the New Jersey Senate earlier this year, ever stopped by the New Jersey House/Assembly(or whatever it's called) from becoming law? Since I don't trust that Gov. Corzine would ever veto such a law, if one hit his desk, and that the guy strikes me as probably yet another anti. I hate that whenever I've done research on trying to find if NJ's proposal was stopped, I never can find conclusive evidence that it didn't become law, or did become law in that state....(anybody who knows, please clear up my confusion) |

| It's either been tried, or being tried, or will be tried, in every state in the union, but as far as I know, it failed in new jersey..a similar bill failed in oHEILO, the F**keye state. |

OK, I thought more likely than not, the car smoking ban probably failed to pass in NJ(just wasn't sure what was the final result of this bill in the NJ House/Assembly(?) for some time). Thanks for clearing up my confusion, darkseid. |

Senator Ortiz is no longer in office --her term expired in 2006.
She is, no doubt, doing "God's work" elsewhere.
This guy is her successor in the california seante:
Senator.Steinberg@senate.ca.gov |

Good riddance that this b**** is no longer in office.
I, of course, do have a suspicious feeling that her successor, Sen. Steinberg, is probably just as much of an anti, as Ortiz was.....(since it seems 'progressive' areas that elect anti state representatives/senators, tend to often elect successors who have just as much of an anti streak to them....) |
