Governor's surprising plum for unions - Corporate political agenda needs to be OKd, too, he saysPrior Capitol Weekly article

Schwarzenegger signs off on shareholder protection

Since most California companies are run by liberals, it's fine with me.
The CAGOP is going to rue the day they jumped on the Austrian's bandwagon during the 11th hour.
In a state where municipal employees' union fees are compulsory even for nonmembers, it's a no-brainer to see the comparison between shareholders and employees are steak vs potatoes comparisons.
lOL,, Hey now, what about all the folks in the country and tennis clubs,, they're sure not all liberals.. ;-)
The more campaign finance laws they have in CA, the better. Since CA is heavily Democratic, it's the Dems who will suffer. They'll be able to raise less money, and they'll be the ones who most often get indicted.
He supports the concept of many things. Two are driver's licenses for illegals and homosexual civil rights. Yet, when it has come down to signing or vetoing specific bills, he's vetoed those two time and again. He's sided with the People.
It's ultimately up to the voters. At least a half-dozen elections have shown CAGOP is toothless, incompetent and irrelevant.
I'm so pist at the CAGOP for forclosing on any primary contest for Governor that I could just SPIT!!!
A side note to your comment about getting indicted
Not a lot of folks know that the 'Rats have and are blocking additional funding for the FPPC to handle an overload of cases, a lot of which they won't be able to investigate.
The dems scream about being violated themselves when they are exposed.. now why wouldn't the 'Rats want to fund it adequately to ensure we all live up to the highest standards of conduct in the spirit of Good Government? hhmmmm...

They need a "private attorney general" law.
lol.. Moonbeam wants the job..
State AG, that is
Exactly. Shareholders aren't having money forced from their paychecks - do shareholder's recieve paychecks?
Shareholders receive dividends. Money contributed to political candidates is not deductible for tax purposes, hence comes out of profit, which leaves less for dividends.
I don't want any corporation in which I hold stock making political contributions. Let me have the money and let me make whatever contributions I wish.
If you do, it's then that you'll learn of the minutia and pure unadulterated B.S. that a candidate from the "grass roots" must try to get volunteers to look after like professionals.
Sure as heck, your incumbent opponent will play "gettcha/gottcha" through the local press/media to bury you in the supposed violation of some obscure FPPC rule/regulation!!!
It happens everytime it's tried!!!
We already have a "private attorney general" law that the Liberal EnvironMental/GovernMentalists have absolutely run into the ground in CA!!!
Ping!!!
Ping!!!
Ping!!!
