Save Our Community was founded in the movement to resist Wal-Mart's development in Rosemead, California. Now, it has become a general site for news, information, gossip, talk, and blogging about Rosemead. We also have stories about South San Gabriel, San Gabriel, Montebello, and occasionally about Pico Rivera, El Monte, South El Monte, Alhambra, Temple City, and other nearby communities. Your host is Todd. If you want a blog just sign up, get approved, and start writing. Good posts will be moved onto the home page.
Amtrak for $500 & Richardson
It seems their host, Gary Mendez, is kind of responsible for the mess they're in--he got into a fight with the bus driver. Also, travel by railway can be more expensive then airfare. I wonder if they considered Greyhound? It says in the article that the parents of these kids don't have that kind of money, and after all, if they are 18 years old and college students, they are legal adults.
As a postscript, I know Richardson didn't really believe he could get the Democratic nomination. What he got was allot of exposure, to perhaps run as Hiliary's VP candidate, hoping to garner the large Hispanic vote in the Southwest and West (lots of electorate votes here in CA)
Although personally, I wouldn't like that ticket. I don't trust Clintons, and as former Secretary of Energy, Richardson didn't have much of an energy plan to wean us from fossil fuels.

The Tribune newsgroup ran a big profile of Gary Mendez over the weekend. It would have been a good chance for them to update us the how and why of this Iowa mess. But they didn't.
