after months of wrangling, the California legislature came up with today's six 'initiatives' special election.

Arnold & fellow travelers have been using major scare tactics to get them passed.

low voter turn out might help them, however, many voters have indicated that they are
tired of the b#**$&!t and will vote against most of the measures.

next step - people's initiative:
all elected state officials DO NOT GET PAID or REIMBURSED
for ANY EXPENSES each day that the state budget is not passed.
why should they be paid for not doing their JOBS?
if any of us don't do the work we signed on for, we wouldn't get paid.
