[ Senate Democrats in CA ] need to explain to us why they are letting Perata work with the Republicans to destroy our state like this. Or they need to repudiate Perata's tactics and throw him overboard, before they throw all of us overboard. - Robert in Monterey

Excerpt

Perata is also undercutting public employees and their unions. And Perata is undercutting every Democrat in the state, especially those fighting Republicans in red or purple districts. By giving the Republicans a crucial victory even though the public supported the Dems and opposed the Republicans on the budget. Democratic candidates who were planning to run against Republicans on the budget have now been undercut, just as Democrats on the Central Coast were undercut by Perata earlier this year.

{I can't be here for this diary have to out but this information was so urgent to CA residents I must post it - please post any and all information you have on the Democrats in CA under Perata apparently no longer fighting against the GOP obstructionists}

THIS IS CALIFORNIA!

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger:

Although you vetoed similar legislation two years ago, I urge your careful reconsideration of this legislation and ask for an opportunity to answer any concerns or questions that you continue to have, in person. I have worked hard to return this legislation to your desk because I see that California’s health care system is falling behind other industrial nations in making the systematic investments that are necessary to build a state of the art health care system as well as to contain long term health cost inflation which is bankrupting our state.

This is an outline of what the ballot will look like as we vote for our presidential candidate in November.

The summary titles for the 12 propositions are after the fold but those titles do not describe what effect the prop will have if passed or who is financing these propositions.

As articles describing these ballots become available I will update.

Equal Pay for Women Bill About to Land on Schwarzenegger’s Desk

On Saturday August 30 with scant notice in the media and as bills by the dozen were being debated and voted on, the California Assembly passed and sent to the Governor a bill that speaks volumes about who is in favor of pay equity for women.

Last week, your Clean and Fair Elections bill, AB 583 (Hancock) passed the full Senate and Assembly. Now it's onto Governor Schwarzenegger's desk!

If signed by the Governor and approved by popular vote in June 2010, AB 583 will establish a pilot project for voluntary full public financing for Secretary of State candidates in 2014 and 2018.

This historic victory is a credit to YOU! You knew the stakes were high so you stepped up your efforts. Every call you made and every letter you wrote to a legislator mattered because AB 583 passed with vote margins that were razor-thin. Thank you

But we can't stop now! In the days and weeks ahead, we must intensify our efforts and win over the Governor! We must build on our momentum to reach out widely so ALL Californians learn about the benefits of Clean Money elections.

California Dems should work to ensure the GOP / Schwarzenegger measures don’t make it on the ballot. Timing is everything and could be the significant budget strategy for progressives and democrats IF they take it as their approach.

Prop 11: The complex ins & outs of this CA initiative and the impact it will have on state government while re-drawing districts --- plus add to the misleading language describing its purpose designed to get over on the public is way beyond me to describe. So I have to rely on the well written post you'll find after the fold to update anyone interested in the latest GOP moves to turn CA bright red. Excuse please that I am mostly withholding my own comment until the best informed weigh in first. This issue needs to be brought to public domain soon and often (every CA initiative will be buried by the Obama - McCain media coverage) and this BATE & SWITCH initiative could sneak by the voters during the fray of presidential electioneering.

Update: Prop 10 after the fold
No on Proposition 10 - It’s About Greed Not Green
