California governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger is slated to head to the nation's capital next week to meet with top officials before he takes the helm in Sacremento.

On Tuesday the Terminator launches a two-day visit which will have the action star turned politician meeting with Capitol Hill leaders -- but which will not include an audience with Presidentr Bush, according to spokesman Rob Stutzman.

Schwarzenegger is on record saying that he will ask for "a lot of help" for cash-strapped California from Washington.

It is unclear what that help will be since Congress is not authorized to bail out one state without mind to the others.

This past week Schwarzenegger made his first official appearance at the California State Capitol in Sacramento, announcing there that one of his first acts when he takes office next month will be to call a special session of the Legislature.

Reportedly, the session would involve, among other items, the recently approved law that would allow undocumented immigrants to get driver’s licenses.

Keep the wetbacks out, and send back the ones that are already there. That will help California more than anything else. If that means that cars don't get washed and beds don't get made, then so be it
