Dedicated To The Calamity That Is California And It’s Politics

We find ourselves in a POLITICAL CALAMITY not just in our Nation's capital but here in California as well. Everyday we watch our Country slip farther and farther away from the original vision of our Founding Fathers. We watch as California crumbles underneath the weight of a crushing deficit without the needed leadership to put our state back on track. "We The People" can no longer sit idly by and wait. Take the first step. It is your responsibility to arm yourself with information. You must seek out facts and make up your own mind. No one can tell you how to think, YOU MUST THINK FOR YOURSELF! Part of the reason we are so deeply entrenched in mediocrity is we’ve been all too willing to accept people and their word at face value. We are far too trusting of our Teachers, Main Stream Media and our Politicians. We send our kids to school and expect they will be taught an accurate depiction of History, when in fact History is often rewritten to reflect the views of the “politically correct”. We read newspapers and watch the nightly news and expect we will be told the truth, but instead we’re given agenda based reporting. We elect politicians and trust they will stand by their word and make decisions based on our best interest, only to find we’ve been sold out to special interests. Look around: The herd mentality hasn’t worked out so well, especially here in California. YOU MUST GET INFORMED, BE INFORMED AND STAY INFORMED!

JULY 14, 2009: Governor Schwarzenegger To “Stand For California”

By CalamityDevon

Governor Schwarzenegger’s California Dream Team is at it again launching a new website StandForCA.com. The site boasts the Governor’s “firm” stance on a balanced budget, not increasing taxes, saving jobs and getting rid of government waste, fraud and abuse. Sounds good but where has he been for the last 6 years of his term? These are serious issues our state has been plagued with even before his recall election. This epiphany has suddenly graced his conscience?

Take the issue of not increasing taxes; remember just a few short months ago to the campaign leading up to the May 19th special election. The Governor personally employed political tactics of fear to scare voters into approving the largest tax increase in history. The Governor’s “Dream Team” funneled MILLIONS into support for the propositions, which would have cost Californians BILLIONS in new taxes. But Schwarzenegger has suddenly seen the light on the tax issue….OK…let’s hope he sticks to that.

As for saving jobs, California has seen a mass exodus of businesses leaving the state for years. This has cost countless jobs and skyrocketed unemployment to a current rate of 11.5% statewide. The Governor has sat by while the Legislature created an anti business climate and done little to stop it. But now something must be done to save the jobs….OK.

Is this an attempt by the Governor to rehabilitate is legacy in his remaining months of office? A true change of heart as he looks back at what might have been if only he weren’t afraid of getting his hands dirty and taking a hit in opinion polls? Only time and whatever budget gets passed will tell if it’s convection or self-preservation.
