Dear Bob,

Please join me in thanking Assembly and Senate Democrats for passing a
common-sense budget before the fiscal year ends tomorrow.

Late last night, Assembly Democrats passed a spending plan that minimizes
the cruel cuts advocated by the governor by raising $2 billion in new
revenue. Just a few minutes ago, Senate Democrats followed suit, passing a
plan that requires Big Tobacco and Big Oil to share in the state budget
sacrifice. 

Speaker Karen Bass, President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and their caucuses
should be commended for standing firm against the governor¹s Draconian cuts.

In order to pass the plan, legislative leaders structured it to require a
majority vote. That¹s because Republicans have repeatedly refused to provide
the handful of votes necessary to pass the plan with two-thirds support.

Disappointingly, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has vowed to veto the Democrats¹
budget plan, preferring to play a game of chicken with the budget. He and
Legislative Republicans would rather strip health care from nearly one
million children and close 220 state parks than ask corporate special
interests to pay their fair share.

Now, the onus is on the governor and Republican lawmakers to explain to
Californians why they would rather drive the state over a cliff than agree
to a budget with a mix of cuts and new revenue.

Please, call Governor Schwarzenegger¹s office today at (916) 445-2841 or
(213) 897-0322. Ask the governor to sign this budget plan, which minimizes
the cuts by sharing the sacrifice.

Peace and friendship,

John
