This whole issue highlights Davis' biggest problem: he is so concerned about his fundraising and campaign activities, that he neglects the duties of his office until it becomes a crisis ...

There was no reason California shouldn't have signed on to the court briefing. Davis, himself, is a vet (as he always reminds us) and it would have been a natural, feel-good, broad-based move that would only have offended the most extreme of the liberal establishment. In my opinion, Davis just wasn't paying attention because he was focused on (you guessed it!) $$$.

Just like during the energy crisis ...

The education crisis ... ($1 million please, Mr. Johnson?)

The budget crisis ... ($7 billion surplus into a $24 billion deficit ... that's not only incompetent, but grossly neglient!)

So it's no surprise he ignore this lawsuit ... he was too busy with what's important to him ... his campaign treasury.

I wonder if this will make the evening news. Somehow I doubt it.

Gray Davis, The Caliph of Kalifornia.

BTW, I just heard on KCBQ that the judge that handed down the no Pledge ruling just reversed himself.

"I'm nuts and so am I!"

Don't you just love the 9th Circuit. SNL couldn't come up with better.

"Failure to ", and "Refusal to" carry vastly different connotations, in my book. Certainly Davis would prefer "failure to" at this point.

I'm a little slow today. It took me a while to get the point of Davis not signing on the the lawsuit. Originally I thought Simon was just blasting Davis for not making a statement about the decision.

only the state of California - represented by Governor Gray Davis and Attorney General Bill Lockyer -- refused to defend our pledge."

Sigh, why can't this state just be given back to Mexico or sink to the bottom of the Pacific. Please. I'll become a monk if that's what it takes.

I like that. He needs to stand up for himself often and just take Davis down by the neck.

We are all going to protest new taxes and promote Simon this Saturday (north steps of the capitol at 11AM). There is a yahoo group of GREAT folks who are discussing this. I think we should call KFBK and KSFO until Saturday to share our views and promote the rally!

In case you want to join our group, it's sacramento-GWB@yahoogroups. :)

See you thre!

Bump Marisa!!!

I hope our frinds we've protested with in the past will join up to support both "No New Taxes", Bill Simon's camp and those of us who vow not to sleep until the High Court restores our founding father's intent for One Nation Under God.
