Tell Arnold not to balance the budget on the backs of the most vulnerable
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently boasted to a New York Times reporter that he was "perfectly fine" and that, no matter what happened with the California budget crisis, he could still go home and "sit down in my Jacuzzi" and "lay back with a stogie."
Call Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and tell him that while he may be fine, millions of Californians are not. He needs to be leading, not kicking back with a stogie in his jacuzzi.
Let the Governor know that you oppose balancing the budget on the backs of the poor and instead to bring in new revenue, including closing the corporate tax loopholes.
Call his Capitol Office in Sacramento: 916-445-2841
If his office is busy, try his district offices:
Fresno: 559-477-1804
Los Angeles: 213-897-0322
Riverside: 951-680-6860
San Diego: 619-525-4641
San Francisco: 415-703-2218
Here are a few talking points to bring up when you call the Governor:
* The governor should call for truly shared sacrifice and support closing corporate tax loopholes, asking the wealthy to pay a fairer share, and restoring the vehicle license fee to 1998 levels.
* He must reject cuts to health care and other public services that the poor and working families depend on to survive.
* Arnold needs to put economic recovery at the forefront of his budget plans, and ensure that all Californians will still have the opportunity to get a good education. Tell him to drop his plans to suspend Proposition 98, which voters approved to ensure education would be given a minimum level of funding.
