SACRAMENTO - In the race for the state's chief financial officer, California voters have a clear choice between a tight-fisted career politician and a Silicon Valley businessman and multimillionaire.

Both candidates -- GOP state Sen. Tom McClintock of Thousand Oaks and Democrat Steve Westly, a former eBay executive from Atherton -- promise to be independent watchdogs of state spending. But each would bring a distinct experience and style to the job that is little known among voters, but critical at a time when California is facing a double-digit budget deficit.

Remember now, according to leftist rags, a Demon'rat career politician is better than a GOP political neophyte businessman (Davis over Simon for Governor). When the shoe's on the other foot, it's Demon'rat businessman political newcomer over GOP career politician (Westley over McClintock for Controller)

Since Westley is ripping on the eeeeevil career politician (McClintock) in his latest ad, surrrrrely he'll back Simon over that eeeeevil career politician Davis. Riiiiiiight. < /SARCASM >

GO Tom McClintock GO!!!

Click here to download the California Republican Liberty Caucus' tri-fold pamphlet on the governor's race!

It's a .pdf file, so you'll need Acrobat Reader... it's free, and chances are good you already have it on your computer. Try the link and see.

Print it using the printer-icon button in the Acrobat toolbar in your browser (not File|Print in your browser's menu). It's intended for double-sided printing using single pieces of paper-- no stapling needed if you do it that way, and saves trees! ;-) Print one side, then invert the paper and feed it through a second time for the second side. Fold, and sally forth to get out the vote!

Give this to friends, walk your neighborhood, take it to stores, give a wad of 'em to your school, hand some out at your house of worship, at clubs, at stores and small businesses...

Let's retire Gray Davis!

Let's show the media and RINOs that "It's the base, stupid!"

Let's show Gray Davis that money can't buy him love ...or re-election!

Freepers and RLC activists can claim considerable credit for nominating Bill Simon, so now let's elect him!
