SAN FRANCISCO - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will hit the television airwaves Wednesday urging the electorate to defeat Proposition 66, the measure that would soften California's decade-old three-strikes law.

With a week to Election Day, Schwarzenegger donated $1 million from his multi-million-dollar California Recovery Team fund to pay for the 15-second spots. The California Recovery Team is an account the governor uses to support or defeat political causes, and is generated by donations.

Actually, Prop. 66 is meant to weaken 3 Strike Laws. So, in a way, Schwarzenegger coming out against this one is a good thing.

Why? This law should not be overturned. It was written for some rich Insurance Tycoon to get his kid out of prison for killing two people drunk driving and it wasn't his first time.

California's crime rate went down with three-strikes (unfortunately because a lot of 2nd strikers left the state!)

My mistake I guess. But Prop. 66 is about 3 strikes, making it weaker. What Schwarz is doing is going against it.

Yes. Arnold is correct on this one. The headline is a bit misleading.
