<DIV>They would save a fortune if they would move Cooperate Head Quarters out of California.</DIV>
<DIV>Its to expensive to operate a Non-Profit in California with all their stupid rules and regulations. Office space is cheaper in other states as well. It would be much cheaper to operate in Nevada or Texas, who are much more friendly to Non-Profits (regulation wise).</DIV>
