GOVERNOR PHIL? WE NEED TO DO MORE THAN JUST CROSS OUR FINGERS

I've written before about what a tragedy it would be for Californians to forget, in light of the criminality of the Bush Regime and the rubber stamp Congress, how truly terrible our own grotesquely corrupt governor is. Yes, he's not Bob Taft of Ohio and, true, he hasn't been convicted or even indicted, like other Republican governors. But is that a reason to re-elect him? Arnold Schwarzenegger is a truly horrible fit for California and Phil Angelides would make an excellent chief executive for our state.

Yesterday a group of California bloggers officially launched GovernorPhil.com. The site is a group effort featuring California-focused bloggers from around the state. They are attempting to bring some much needed attention and interactivity to Phil Angelides' campaign for California Governor. Supporters of Phil Angelides are encouraged to comment and get involved in the election to get a true progressive elected as our next Governor.

More than you know is riding on this election. For example, Governor Schwarzenegger is today attempting to gut AB 32, greenhouse gas emissions legislation. Schwarzenegger has lulled many Democrats and independent both in and outside of California into thinking he's moderate. He's not. He convinced many people inside and outside California that he would terminate special interests; instead he has accepted millions upon millions of special interests dollars from big oil, big business, etc and consistently sided against California's workers and families and with his special interest donors.
