You can't go around blaming the people for problems you helped create and not expect the people to get angry.
If the measures you support (1A - 1F) don't pass, don't blame the voters for an even more "dire" state of the state.
The voters don't trust you!!
California is at least as bad off now if not worse than when you replaced Gray Davis. All of the problems we are experiencing now happened under your watch.
You need to take responsibility and step down!
What is this b.s. about 1F?
There needs to be a measure on this ballot saying that, as a step towards balancing the budget, and as a way of admitting responsibility for the current crisis, and as a gesture towards showing the people they honestly want to change things, all California lawmakers must cut their salaries down to $1 a year for the next four years. I'm sure that would save California a lot of money.
Thus, for the State Measures, my strong recommendations are:
1A: No
1B: No
1C: No
1D: No
1E: No
1F: No
I know, for once I agree with the California Republican Party, but I don't think for the same reasons. The California Democratic Party support 1B, 1C, and 1F (on the rest they officially have "no position". Hmmm... Weren't these measures written by Schwarzenegger and the Democratic Party in the first place?)
For Los Angeles City Attorney, I endorse Carmen "Nuch" Trutanich. Not that I think he's any better than Jack Weiss, I just think Weiss is a little too friendly with Villaraigosa for my taste.
For the Los Angeles Community College District I endorse incumbents Angela J. Reddock and Nancy Pearlman. They seem OK to me.
My recommendations hold true for my district only. Other districts will have other and additional measures/candidates to vote for.
LAist has posted a guide to the myriad of endorsements for this election, including L.A. Times, Young Progressive Majority, and others. Kudos as always to Zach Behrens and LAist.

Schwartzenegger inherited an already balooning deficit, and was shrewdly working us out of it until the nationwide slowdown.
Thanks for the comment Anonymous!
I couldn't agree with you more! Schwarzenegger has (well, almost) achieved what no Republican could ever dream of achieving in the midst of a Democratic-controlled Legislature, that is the transfer of almost all government funded programs for education, health care, and prisons to the private sector, pending final approval, of course! He is one shrewd character indeed!
Thanks again, Anonymous!
