This is for Greens in State Senate District 15, like I am.<br>
<br>
I knot Matt Lockshin. He was one of the key blogger / social
network folks who helped stop Richard Pombo in 2006. <tt><br>
<br>
I also know what will happen to the schools in Morgan Hill if the
tax extensions are not put on the ballot and passed. It will not
be good for anyone and especially bad for the students. <br>
<br>
If you can follow the scrpit (tailored we my name) that Matt
provided, I hope that you can make the call. <br>
<br>
Blakeslee campaigned on his background in education. Make him
decide whether he is that, or just another Republican flunky. <br>

Dear Wesley,</span></font></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
<font size="2" color="#37424a"
face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">
When Governor Jerry Brown proposed his plan to close
the estimated $26 billion budget deficit, there was
little to cheer
about. It has not gotten better.
</span>
</font></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
<font size="2" color="#37424a"
face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">
Even in the best-case scenario, we will see more
cuts to vital services that create even bigger holes
in the social safety
net. </span>
</font></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
<font size="2" color="#37424a"
face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">
And the tax extensions Governor Brown wants to put
before the voters in a special election
disproportionately affect the
Californians who can least afford them. We would
have preferred a tax proposal that included an oil
severance tax and closing
tax loopholes granted to big businesses only two
years ago. </span>
</font></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
<font size="2" color="#37424a"
face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">
<b>However, this is a crisis. Now is not the time to
make brutal cuts even more devastating by refusing
to extend taxes already
on the books. Doing so would only lead to billions
more in cuts to education.</b> </span>
</font></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
<font size="2" color="#37424a"
face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">
<b>Yet Sen. Blakeslee, who represents you, wants to
make a brutal budget situation much, much worse.
He is refusing the
governor's call to put these tax extensions on the
ballot and let the people of California vote on
whether we want to save
our public schools.</b> </span>
</font></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
<font size="2" color="#37424a"
face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">
Only two Republicans in each chamber of the
legislature would have to vote to allow Californians
to weigh in on this question,
but so far they have been unanimous in their
opposition to this plan.
</span>
</font></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0pt;">
<font size="2" color="#37424a"
face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">
Sen. Blakeslee needs to hear from you. The worst
thing we can do in the face of implacable
obstructionism from Republicans
is give them a pass on their blind adherence to
anti-tax dogma. </span>
