Arnold skates today

Getting lots of email from my PTA groups on protesting the Governor's appearance at the Pond in Anaheim this afternoon. The Govinator wants signatures for petition initiatives for his ballot measures that will change pension systems, redistrict legsilative areas, and screw over the school system.

The Governor, like many Republicans and Conservatives, need an enemy. So its him and people against the special interests, which just happen to be Teachers, Nurses, and Parents with kids in public school.

The problem with Arnold is simple: He's a liar. He went back on his word to back the Prop. 98 funding deal he brokered with educators last year.

He's a hypocrite: he rails against special interest while collecting more special interest money than Gray Davis ever dreamed of. If you have a checkbook out, the Governor will see you. If all you have is a vote, he's not interested because he can use his star power to get votes he needs.

In public appearances, he hams for the camera and says "I want to hear from you, California," and as soon as the speech is over he's out the door before he can hear a word.

It's Arnold's way or the highway. The voters need to hold him accountable.
