A California Carol: Watch our special holiday video

Sign the card to Governor Ebenezer Arnold and invite your friends

When Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the Democratic budget solution last week he gave a lump of coal to every Californian. His veto places the state in danger of bankruptcy as Arnold demands spending cuts and rollbacks of laws protecting workers and the environment. Arnold has become California's own Ebenezer Scrooge.

So we thought you might enjoy this special video we put together about Arnold's nightmare before Christmas. What do the ghosts of California past, present, and future have to say to the Governor after a year of failure? Watch the video and see!

Unfortunately, California's Ebenezer Scrooge isn't going to have a Christmas morning change of heart and suddenly decide to provide funding for schools and health care. Not unless we the people demand that he stop cutting and start saving California by signing the Democratic budget deal.

That's why we're asking you to sign a holiday card that we're going to deliver to the Governor. Tell him that California deserves a leader, not a Scrooge, this holiday season!

Please join your fellow Courage Campaign members in signing this card. Then forward this link to your friends:

Governor Schwarzenegger,

We, the undersigned, wish you Happy Holidays. We also wish that you would stop playing the role of California's Scrooge. When you vetoed the Democrats' budget you put the state at risk of bankruptcy and ruined the holidays of millions of Californians who depend on schools, health care, and other public services.

The original Scrooge eventually embraced the holiday spirit of giving and mended his miserly ways. Won't you do the same by signing a budget that provides adequate funding for our state services, a budget that averts economic catastrophe instead of creating one?

Sincerely,

The undersigned
