Aj De Lomeli: Don't mess with Texas

Enough with the putdowns on Texas.

I was born and raised in Merced. I moved to Texas as quick as I could! Let's talk of the water, air and environment, you hicks!

The water in Merced was contaminated. I'm now battling cancer after being diagnosed with colon cancer while living here from 2009 to July 2012. I had double craniotomies and chronic MRSA infections; all this happened after drinking y'all's water and breathing y'all's nasty air!

We may not have beaches, mountains and a one-horse town named Merced as the meth capital in the country, but we have jobs -- the one thing y'all forgot what that is! If I could have chosen where to be born it wouldn't be cancerous California!
