Assemblyman Jones: California a ‘Nanny State,’ Not ‘Land of Free’
The state legislator releases a holiday video in which he complains of burdensome California laws that he argues infringe upon our freedoms.
It's July 4th and Assemblyman Brian Jones, R-Santee, isn't happy.
Californians' rights are being “chipped away,” he maintains, and state government infringes upon citizens, leaving them unable to determine their own path for themselves and their families.
“This Independence Day, I encourage you to think about what this day really means as Americans ... It’s time to take our country back – it's time to reclaim the freedoms and liberties that are being eroded by our ever intrusive government,” he said in a video statement keyed to our nation's holiday.
He represents Santee, Mount Helix and Spring Valley, among other local communities.
