Hey So Cal Rocket and all you FReepers who jumped on this with the media:

IT WORKED... the evidence follows. But we need to keep the pressure on! As to the challenge"

SoCalRocket said: "From what I can tell, there are NO ties (other than they MIGHT have been co-presenters at some conferences in the past) between the two organizations. ... I find it difficult to get excited about the claim that they are using taxpayer money to fund Anti-Recall seminars until someone can show a monetary link between the State Funding (which went to ILE) and the Anti-Recall Seminar (which is being sponsored by SB&CTC)."

Patriotwatch members pride themselves in double checking even friendly sources. The reason you (and others) couldn't find the nexus is because SB&CTC removed it from the WAR seminars information page AFTER being found out. WHY would they do that? Here's the PDF file captured before they engaged in the cover-up. (I've attached a copy below too) Is that the smell of a gun smoking? Enough for anyone else? Or do we just let them rip us for another $4 million let alone the $17 million over the past three years? This memo bears Kaloogian's signature and a demand the Governor line item veto the 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.

Kaloogian's office issued the Press Release today along with the evidence. CONTACT: Teri O'Rourke (916) 441-6197 should anyone still need convincing union thugs and democrats have a history of covering up their lies. In part, from that release is this statement:

"When the Recall Gray Davis Committee began a public information campaign to alert supporters to the use of taxpayer funding to defeat the recall, the website that listed information on the workshops removed all references to the Institute for Labor and Employment. Caught red-handed using taxpayer funding to fight the recall, they further tried to conceal their illegal activities by moving the location of the anti-recall workshops from the ILE’s UCLA Labor Center to the United Teachers of Los Angeles offices."

Thanks for the latest on these "crooks".

Yesterday, I posted an E-Mail that I sent to my representatives concerning this matter.
Two, as usual, ignored me but I have to share
the following E-Mail I received from
Senator Feinstein. Remember, the subject is our tax
dollars going to fight our recall of Governor Lowbeam.

Dear Ms. :

Thank you for writing me regarding the future of Iraq. I appreciate
hearing from you on
this important issue.

Throughout the majority of Iraq, the regime of Saddam Hussein has
been defeated and
removed from power. Despite our success in freeing the Iraqi people, our
military continues to
encounter resistance throughout the country and must maintain a presence
until an interim
authority can be established to restore order and begin helping the Iraqi
people reconstitute their
basic social services.

So, as the fighting stops and as the remnants of the regime are
removed, we must take the
lead in rebuilding the Iraqi nation, in stabilizing its new government, in
providing interim security
to prevent the emergence of tribal hostilities and to see that Iraq is no
longer a producer of
weapons of mass destruction.

I am hopeful that all Iraqis of every ethnic and faith group, large
and small, will be
engaged in the process to establish a new Iraq. I firmly believe that the
U.S. should work closely
with the United Nations and our allies in the reconstruction of Iraq.

It is essential to demonstrate to Muslims everywhere that the United
States, while a
powerful nation, is motivated by a sincere desire to one day see the
entire world safe, prosperous,
and free.

Again, thank you for writing. I hope you will continue to keep me
informed of your views
and concerns. If you should have any further questions or comments,
please do not hesitate to
contact my Washington, D.C. staff at (202) 224-3841.

Best Regards.

Sincerely yours,

Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
