We citizens get no acknowledgment for participating in influencing our representatives -- for steering them away from their first thoughts -- first thoughts that are well documented above as far as the governor is concerned?
No, your other threads (posts) may explain lots, but saying the "actual votes and signature on the bill" will be the final proof is wrong.
Better proof will be the governor's statements over the next few days and compare those statements to his well documented, recorded, taped, whatever statements shown above.
I live in Sacramento. Here's what has just happened. The governor and California legislature Republicans have been swamped by public reaction. It's called citizens' right to demand our elected representatives' position on critical matters be stated clearly.
BTW, Schwarzenegger is scheduled to go to Israel soon. Cruz "I call 'em like I see 'em. Oops!" Bustamante will be governor with full power, is how it used to work here.
RE: The message is that it's sad if conservatives are allowing themselves to be worked up by rumors spread by Democrats. We don't know that is the case just yet but it seems very likely.
Why bother but.. I live here. I go back to Prop 13 and everything in between IT AIN'T THE DEMOCRATS!!
On a germane subject, if you lived in Sacramaento you'd understand about Mr. Houge and that other talk show host and watch this all fit together.
The amusing thing is each has the other's role vis-a-vis the recall. It's fun watching "grown ups." But both are doing a public service while managing their egos and commercial interests.
