This morning I observed a very bright star in the horizon about 20 degrees. It was very bright, very full, and very low in the sky.

You're seeing Venus. It'll get a little lower each morning, before it finally sets over the rising sun. In a few months, you'll see it as a bright evening star.

It was most likely the planet Venus. Venus is the brightest
object in the sky after the sun & moon; you can even see it
in the middle of the day if you know where to look.
Incidentally, you will see it from nearly everywhere on
Earth, not just California.

Alioth is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Major. It matches the description of the star you gave based on location. If you give me the time you seen this star I can give you a better idea. Are you basing 20 degrees off of due north?
Venus was 96 degrees at about 6am in Cali this morning.

Almost certainly it was Venus. After the Sun and Moon it's the brightest object in the sky.

In which direction were you looking? If you were looking east, it was most definately Venus.
