Stop Arnold Contest the vote petition

We’re writing to alert you to a new election danger, right here in California. Governor Schwarzenegger wants to force us to vote in a special election this year, mere months before secure paper trails would be required in all electronic voting machines.

Just when we thought Arnold could not get any more abusive, here he comes again, this time pre-empting our right to a secure ballot. But, we don’t have to be bullied into this. Instead, join us in signing the PETITION posted here at Contest the Vote (contestthevote.org), a petition demanding that Arnold drop his plan to call for a special election.

Now, you may already be opposed to the Special Election because of its huge expense. As you probably know, Arnold wants us to spend $60- $70 million scarce dollars for this boondoggle-- even while he’s trying to slash desperately needed social and educational programs.

Or, you may be opposed because his initiative proposals will not save the state any money, but rather allow him to follow Bush’s lead in privatizing retirement funds. In California, it affects the pensions of teachers, police and firefighters. (Painfully enough, the initiatives would remove death and disability benefits from our public safety workers, folks who put their lives on the line every day!) Another initiative would pressure teachers to “teach to the test,” as pay would be based on student scores on standardized, “one size fits all” tests.
