That evokes one of the true milestones of Ronald Reagan's early political career, the defeat of Governor 'Pat' Brown in his first campaign for public office in the state of California.

Reagan would punctuate his stump speech with the war cry: "Ya Basta?", which was a cri de couer to deliver Cali from the inept reign of 'Pat' Brown.

The spirit of the "Gipper" lives on in the actions of all the people who voted to eject Gray Davis from office in the most recent California gubernatorial election.
