This just in from the Recall Gray Davis Committee
"YES on RECALL" Campaign Fund
P.O. Box 1445
Sacramento, CA 95812
Breaking News folks. We've received information that the Institute for Labor and Employment was set to conduct anti-Recall Gray Davis media and communications workshops for union officials to fight the Davis recall.
The budget passed by the California State Senate on July 27 includes $4million to fund the Institute for Labor and Employment at the University of California.
Now they are helping organize the labor community into a massive force to defeat the recall.
You read that right:
ANTI-RECALL FORCES ARE USING _YOUR_ TAX DOLLARS TO DEFEAT THE RECALL.
We knew the battle would be tough. That is why I am currently spending night and day on the telephone to raise enough money for the "YES on RECALL" campaign. And that's why I need your financial support to raise enough money for us to be successful.
But there is something else you can do.
Help me beat this issue over the head of the media until they report it. Call, email and write to every newspaper, radio and television station in your community and DEMAND that they cover this story of the misuse of our tax dollars.
Here is the website with the information on the taxpayer-funded ANTI-RECALL organizing sessions:
The Institute for Labor and Employment has received over $17 million from Gray Davis and the State Legislature in the last three years.
The line item for the Institute for Labor and Employment is identified in the budget as the U.C. Berkeley/UCLA Multi-Campus Research Unit for Labor Studies. It is on page 477, lines 18-21 of the budget bill passed by the Senate, AB 1765.
And that money is now being used to help defeat the recall.
Disgusted?
Then help me by alerting the media in your area and don't relent until it is the top news story on every network, on every radio station and in every newspaper. You KNOW that this would be the TOP news story if this were about inappropriate government-funding of PRO-RECALL activities.

The Recall Committee also included an appeal to continue the legal battles ahead. Passing this along FYI as court actions continue to mount and these folks seem to be taking all contenders head on.
So many of you kindly responded to our urgent request for funds since our legal efforts to qualify the recall measure (and then prevent it from being thrown off the ballot) have drained the funds we had in our account.
Now we are officially launching the "YES on RECALL" campaign and we desperately need to raise $350,000 in the next four weeks.
We need your help.

Way to go! Think Dan Walters of the Sacto. Bee might be interested?
Seventeen million over three years to promote the wonders of unionism seems a bit extravegant, even in a state as large as ours. One can only wonder what other 'nuggets of fiscal prudence' dwell in the finer lines within the fudget budget.
Good find!

I am a California native, living in Colorado Springs...I refuse to move back. But, I have sent this to my brother and my son who are still stuck there.
I suggest all FREEPERS with any contacts in California should copy and paste this into an email and send it to them.
And maybe, someone should forward this to the Feds, as well.

Blew my stack when I read your post. Following is the
E-Mails I sent to my three representatives(?).
This is outrageous! How dare they use my tax dollars to fund a recall that I fully support. No matter what your
politics, you are all my representatives and had better act accordingly - one more slap in the face and I
promise there will be several more recalls!
