It’s not a "deal" that you are looking for.
It’s not a "budget" you are trying to pass.
It’s keeping vital services that the Republicans are trying to destroy.
Protecting thousands of Small businesses that have contracts with the State. Small Businesses that might go bankrupt because Republicans have stopped all the contracts for small businesses.
Supporting thousands of Families that depend on State services whose lives are turned upside down.
Preserving the State credit rating and reputation that will costs millions in additional interest that Republicans have needlessly flushed down the toilet.
Supporting the Millions of Californians whose financial and health futures are being held captive by a few extremist Republicans. Republicans who real goal has always been the financial destruction of CA's government.
It is because the Democrats have sworn to protect and serve the citizens of California that the Republicans want to destroy the safety net for all but wealthy Californians.
Republicans are holding up State contracts for public safety, education, roads, bridges, highways, - real jobs for real Californians - with their extremist demands.
etc.
Democrats:
Please start sounding mad and placing blame.
On TV Sound bites (bumper stickers) are best.
A slogan would be great.
CA Democrats, you are all great, but please start winning the sound bite war. Thank you
Parting Thought added 11 PM:
take the Republicans offices and staffs away
tell them the Capitol is reserved for Legislators
put them all in a warehouse in West Sac
tell them they get their staff and offices back when they grow up and act like they give a dam - make the moves and layoffs tonight - be done with them
or better put them in unheated state warehouses all over Sacramento so they can't get together, and take their district offices and staff away also - wear them down - let them know Californians are serious
