http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/community/tag_rss/california+governor's+race+2010 To those thinking of running for Governor of California, the crisis in Sacramento calls out for bold leadership and it is time for you to get in this race. The political winds of change are upon us, just as we experienced in the last national election. For thirty years we have attempted to govern with Article 13A and a broken political system and now we find ourselves bankrupt, both physically and morally. We recognize change is not easy and will require a sustained and sincere engagement of the electorate. This is our primary purpose. We are coming together to create a new political environment of hard truths, a transparent government with Sacramento and its people working together for the common good. We envision real leadership and budgets without ballots, passed on time in Sacramento. To do so, we will be required to pass reforms beyond Article 13A, ballot measures, recalls, term limits and other obstacles perverting our governance. Promising change because it is in fashion and rattling off the same poll tested issues and rhetoric will not get you our support. Our aim is to fix the structural political defects in Sacramento. Bring us your clear and concise plans for transformational reform and together we will inspire and get California back on track. Speak out, we will help you change the climate of voter apathy and cynicism. By the time we get to the general election, the problems will most likely be exacerbated by more failures to address this issue. We are all Democrats, so let’s agree to pursue real change, then we will begin again to responsibly meet the needs of our poor, elderly, schools and protect important social services. We are ready to serve your campaign, your government, our state. We got your six. http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/stevenfowler/C2tn http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/stevenfowler/C2tn/commentary#comments Mon, 08 Jun 2009 09:29:53 PDT http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/stevenfowler/C2tn Unknown user Unknown user 0 http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2tn/ Los Angeles delegate following Mayor Newsom's speech in the men's room of hall a: "It's a nice story about San Francisco, but it has a small population….its easier to do.
