Please visit and vote in a poll in the East Valley Tribune (right hand side about halfway down the page) declaring your support for Janet Napolitano's veto. The paper prints the results of this poll ... so it actually is pretty important
Recently in AZ, the Republican State Legislature passed an irresponsible budget that is anti-family and anti-children ... not-surprisingly all with no input from a single Democratic member of the House or Senate.
As a result AZ Governor Janet Napolitano vetoed the budget outright, telling the GOP they had to try a little harder.
From her veto letter:
In January, I gave the legislature a fiscally responsible balanced budget that moved Arizona forward by investing in education (from kindergarten to our community colleges and universities), health care, public safety, and our natural resources, without raising taxes or draining the rainy day fun.
[...]
This Legislature came back with a budget that is balanced on the backs of children
[...]
My budget proposal moves Arizona forward. This one brings our state to a dead stop.
The GOP is doing anything they can to pin Napolitano in a corner ... they will even shut down the government or prevent punishing spousal rape if somehow somewhere they think it will help them. Napolitano is a rising star - they will do anything to take her down.
So please, again - vote showing your support of her veto in that silly little poll. Every little thing you can do helps us out here in AZ.
