State Republicans are moving to rally Christian conservatives behind an abortion measure on the November special election ballot in hopes that, once drawn to the polls, they will back the rest of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's fall agenda.

The party has hired Gary Marx, a top liaison to social conservatives in President Bush's reelection campaign, to assemble up to 10 organizers to build support among evangelicals and other religious conservatives for Proposition 73. The measure on the Nov. 8 ballot would require parental notification when minors seek abortions.

In mailers sent to Republican voters, the party also has trumpeted Schwarzenegger's endorsement of the abortion proposal. "Arnold says vote yes," one glossy party mailer says about Proposition 73.


so much for being a moderate--I just hope we get people out to vote!!!

1. Ahnuld is...

another of those social conservative extremist immigrants who are becoming increasingly common in the state, especially in the southern half.

We once had the immigrant vote. What happened???

2. Our biggest challenge: Getting our side

out to vote! I've been doing some phone banking and walking for the Alliance For A Better California www.betterca.org and what I find frustrating is that a lot of Democrats don't seem to be very passionate about the election. We can beat all of Schwarzenegger's ballot measures if our side gets out there and votes! Republicans like special elections because of the low voter turnout.

3. We should tell them that even if they think his props are going down!

EVERY vote counts, and to get out and vote! The greater margins he loses these props by, the more of a failure he will look like for 2006 election timeframe when we NEED to get him out of office. There are so many reasons we need someone like Angelides back in office!

Also note to these voters, that the limits on voting machines haven't been fully applied for this election yet (they go into effect in 2006), so the greater the margin we can defeat his measures by, the harder it will be for them to use voter fraud to cheat them into approval!

4. I believe that voting NO on all of them is the best approach

That is what I plan to do. My union says to vote YES on 79 and no on the rest of them. Another place says to vote YES on 78 and 79.

My own thoughts are simple: FUCK you Gropenator with your faux election. Vote NO on all of them.

I know what the drug thing is like via experience already with the State of California. They force retirees to buy via mail order - a company shrouded in all sorts of illegal scenarios.

This initiative will force these same crappy drugs on other consumers in California. I've found them to be of poor generic quality and the expire not too long after you get them. There are charges that they repackage returned drugs and resell them too. Do we really want prop. 78 or 79? Is this really good for our citizens? I DO NOT THINK SO.

So I'd say NO on all of Ahnuld's crap!
