Stop Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's new line-item veto budget cuts

Contact Speaker Karen Bass and Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and urge them to call legislators back to Sacramento to override the cuts

Using his line-item veto power, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger just made hundreds of millions of dollars in NEW cuts to California's budget. Together, we can stop him and save lives -- but we don't have much time.

These new budget cuts will hurt people. They may even kill people. The legislature has the power to override these vetoes and save these vital services that Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to destroy.

That's why the Courage Campaign is asking you to fight these cuts. Make your voice heard now by contacting Speaker Karen Bass and Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and ask them to call legislators back into session to override the vetoes.

You can call their offices, sign our petition that we will deliver to them -- or better yet, do both:

Speaker Karen Bass: (916) 319-2047

Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg: (916) 651-4006

Now, please also sign the following letter to Speaker Bass and Senate President Pro Tem Steinberg -- we'll deliver your signatures as soon as possible:

Speaker Karen Bass and Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg,

We, the undersigned, urge you to reverse Arnold Schwarzenegger's newest budget cuts by calling
legislators back to Sacramento to override his line-item vetoes.

We call on you to lead the fight to protect the services vulnerable Californians need, from HIV/AIDS
services to child health care to domestic violence victim services, along with the other indefensible
cuts Gov. Schwarzenegger made with his vetoes.

Sincerely,
