If you live in California, it is your duty to help lance the boil that is Arnold Schwarzenegger from our statehouse on November 8, 2005!
In addition to precinct walking, and phone banking, both of which are actually lots of fun, please feel free to send the below blurb to everyone you know in California.
Howard Dean once said, "Voting gets you a "D", meaning it's the very least you can do to help save your state and your country. Like it or not, fair or not, waste-of-money or not, Arnold's Special Election is a fact and it's our job, as citizens of this great state, to just win it!
----------------------------------------------
NIX the first SIX and VOTE YES on the REST!
That's all you have to remember when you go to the polls on November 8, 2005...
$ Unless you're happy with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's work, then you need not vote.
$ If you approve of Schwarzenegger's union-busting efforts against California teachers, nurses, firefighters and police officers then don't bother coming to the polls.
$ If you don't mind young women losing their right to privacy regarding medical decisions, you can stay home November 8th.
$ If you trust Schwartzenegger to use state funds, currently reserved for public schools, for whatever purposes he decides, then feel free to let this election slide.
$ If you don't care if the Republican Party redistricts our beautiful golden state just like they did in Texas (the great state that brought us George W. Bush, Karl Rove, and Tom DeLay) then have a nice lunch instead of going to the polls.
! But if you are sick and tired of the right wing assaulting every freedom, and hard won civil right you've always enjoyed, and you're fed up with crooked politicians doing the bidding of multi-national corporations instead of what's in the best interests of the people of California, (and the Nation) then you need to...
VOTE AGAINST OUR FAUX GOVERNOR'S CORRUPT POLICIES ON NOVEMBER 8, 2005!!!
(Specifically that's NO on Propositions 73-78, and YES on 79 & 80)
(Note: if your county uses electronic voting machines (touchscreen) that do not produce a paper trail you should use an absentee ballot or ask for a paper ballot at the polls.
