Like more than 1 million Californians, Yuyan Wu is out of work -- and he's running out of options.

The onetime San Jose business manager has spent the past year fruitlessly looking for another job. Last week, the state checks that helped pay the bills stopped showing up.

Wu is looking everywhere for answers. But he hasn't found them in the campaign for California governor.

Has he looked to other states?

I do agree on one thing, though. I really hope Simon makes it but I will also pity him if he wins because all of Davis' poor economic decisions over the last term are going to come home to roost. Whoever does become governor is going to have a very rough time which will trickle down to California taxpayers.

IF Davis wins, he can then just get laws passed:

1. Pass an additional $5.00 per pack tax on cigarettes.

2. Pass a law making it illegal to quit smoking.

3. Give Rob "Meathead" Reiner posse-comitatus power to block all roads for inspections and of course check all shipping by mail/rail/planes/roads, etc.

PASSING LAWS always works, or if not, the intentions are good.

Tick, tick, tick...

Let's get out the vote! Here's a tool...

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!
