Voting Is Only Way to Thwart Governor
Steve Lopez
Points West

November 2, 2005

We all knew California politics could get wacky, but I think it's fair to say we're outdoing ourselves this time.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger insisted we had to have this special election next week. Despite a huge budget deficit, it couldn't wait until next year, which would have saved millions. It had to be now, because his "reforms" were too vital to delay another minute.

So the governor got his way, ramming the election down our throats. And now what does he want? He wants most of us to stay home next Tuesday.

That's right, he'd like us to skip the election he called for. Why? Because Big Boy knows the polls say that three of his four reforms are tanking and a fourth is a tossup, so his best chance of winning is to rally conservatives in a state with a vast Democratic majority. Prop. 73 could help his cause, since the parental notification proposal "defines abortion as causing the death of the unborn child, a child conceived but not yet born."

I can't think of a better reason to stop everything you're doing next Tuesday, get off your duff, and run — don't walk — to the polls, where your mission is clear as never before:
