Agreed and thank you Governor Schwarzenegger.
I think I am going to print this out and frame it. ;)
You actually gave some credit to Arnold.
I am glad you had the fairness to do that.
Not Bad For A Legal Immigrant!!!
Form hiding substance. That's our Arnold.
And I bet if he did the reverse, you would be saying that he should have vetoed at least this one most important bill.
Yes. He was. (Should there have been question?)
Check this out: New Poll Shows support for Propositions http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1496640/posts
• SB 565 by Senator Carole Migden (D-San Francisco) - Property tax reappraisal exclusion: domestic partners.
Prior to this bill, there was no domestic partner exclusion that equates to the interspousal exclusion. This bill establishes an exclusion from reassessment for transfers of real property between registered domestic partners. The author indicated that the bill is intended "to guarantee equality for all Californians, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, and to further the state's interests in protecting Californians from the potentially severe economic and social consequences of abandonment, separation, the death of a partner, and other life crises."• SB 973 by Senator Sheila Kuehl (D-Santa Monica) - Public employees' retirement: domestic partners.
Bill amends the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS), and the County Employees Retirement Act of 1937 to entitle retired members to elect to change optional retirement allowances to provide for their domestic partners.• AB 228 by Assemblymember Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood) - Transplantation services: human immunodeficiency virus.
Prohibits health care service plans (health plans) and health insurers from denying coverage for organ or tissue transplantation services on the basis that an enrollee, subscriber, insured, or policyholder is infected with HIV.• AB 1142 by Assemblymember Marvyn Dymally (D-Compton) - HIV/AIDS: African-Americans: statewide initiative.
This bill establishes the Statewide African-American Initiative to address the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS on the health of African-Americans by coordinating prevention and service networks around the state in an effort to increase the capacity of core service providers.• AB 1586 by Assemblymember Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood) - Insurers: health care service plans: discrimination.
This bill adds additional language to existing anti-discrimination provisions under the Health and Safety Code and the Insurance Code to clarify that state law prohibits insurance companies and health care service plans from discriminating on the basis of gender in the creation or maintenance of service contracts or the provision of benefits or coverage. Defines the term "sex," in existing law that prohibits health care service plans (health plans) and insurers from specified discriminatory acts, to have the same meaning as "gender," as defined under the Penal Code, as specified.• AB 1400 by Assemblymember John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) - Unruh Civil Rights Act: marital status and sexual orientation
The Unruh Civil Rights Act (Act) provides that all persons, regardless of their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, or medical condition are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges and services in all business establishments of every kind. This bill clarifies that marital status and sexual orientation are among the characteristics that are protected against discrimination by business establishments under the Act. This bill also imports into the Act definitions of the terms "disability," "religion," "sex," and "sexual orientation" from the Fair Employment and Housing Act, and includes, in enumerating the above characteristics, the perception of those characteristics and association with a person who has or is perceived to have those characteristics as being within the protected categories. These definitions will be integrated into other related provisions of the Act.
That's really great news, thanks for posting the link.
I hope Arnold's propositions will pass. They will make a huge difference for the future of CA.
Yes they will.
That's what I was thinking. Like, it was a gutsy move or something for Arnold to tell the sodomites and their politicians to drop dead? I mean, even Kalifornia still has a population where over 50% of the people aren't scumbags and perverts, doesn't it? That's correct, right?
He is almost begging the GLBT lobby to put this on the ballot. See this, from the San Diego Union-Tribune:
The governor said public attitudes about same-sex marriage might well have changed in the five years since Proposition 22 was approved with 61 percent of the vote. One public opinion poll recently suggested that Californians were evenly split on the issue."If they go back to the people, it could easily be that it will win, that it will pass, that we will have marriage amongst gay couples," Schwarzenegger said.
He did not respond directly when asked what position he would take if an initiative to legalize same-sex marriage were placed on the ballot.
"I personally think that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. But I think a gay couple should have all the rights that a marriage has," he told the Union-Tribune editorial board, which regularly hosts newsmakers to discuss current events and invites reporters and editors from the newsroom.
Let's not sweat the details.. Party Party Party!!!
>>I mean, even Kalifornia still has a population where over 50% of the people aren't scumbags and perverts, doesn't it? That's correct, right?
It's hard to tell some times. When you have freepers actively supporting the GLBT agenda, ya gotta wonder!
Apparently you are ignoring the FACT, that Arnold VETOED the homosexual marriage bill, despite the pressure they exerted on him.
Yes they will put us deeper in debt.
Senate Republican Leader Dick Ackerman of Irvine said his members rejected the idea of an infrastructure bond this year because they believe California has overextended its debt capacity.
According to the nonpartisan legislative analyst's office, the percentage of the state's budget that goes to pay off debt has reached 6%. Over the next few years even more debts will come due. By 2009, according to the analyst, paying back debt will account for nearly 7% of the state budget.
All that's needed to launch California into a bold new era of borrow and build, Campbell said, is to first get the annual operating budget under control.
No, she's not; she's pointing out what a charade and a violation of the will of the voters that veto really was.
I'm not ignoring it at all. I acknowledged that he was correct in doing so (see post #7). I also noted the other 6 pieces of GLBT legislation that he signed the same day. (see post #9).
Apparently you are ignoring my question to you (see post #13):
Do you share Arnold's ideology, that domestic partners should have all the rights of married heterosexuals?
ping!
