- Davis Supporters Use STATE FUNDS in Effort to Defeat Recall
-*- Contribution Link: It's been FIXED! -*-
So many of you kindly responded to our urgent request for funds since our
legal efforts to qualify the recall measure (and then prevent it from
being thrown off the ballot) have drained the funds we had in our account.
Now we are officially launching the "YES on RECALL" campaign and we
desperately need to raise $350,000 in the next four weeks.
We need your help.
You can make a contribution right now by clicking the link below:

Our previous email contained a link that did not work because our system
went temporarily down and an update that was to occur did not take hold
in time.
All is well now, so I must please beg your pardon for the inconvenience
and ask for your financial support. I have not done so since the
certification of the recall measure but I ask for your help now.

-*- Davis Supporters Use STATE FUNDS in Effort to Defeat Recall -*-
Breaking News folks. we've received information that the Institute for
Labor and Employment was set to conduct anti-Recall Gray Davis media and
communications workshops for union officials to fight the Davis recall.
The budget passed by the California State Senate on July 27 includes $4
million to fund the Institute for Labor and Employment at the University
of California.
Now they are helping organize the labor community into a massive force to
defeat the recall.
You read that right:
ANTI-RECALL FORCES ARE USING _YOUR_ TAX DOLLARS
TO DEFEAT THE RECALL.
We knew the battle would be tough. That is why I am currently spending
night and day on the telephone to raise enough money for the "YES on
RECALL" campaign. And that's why I need your financial support to raise
enough money for us to be successful.
But there is something else you can do.
Help me beat this issue over the head of the media until they report
it. Call, email and write to every newspaper, radio and television
station in your community and DEMAND that they cover this story of
the misuse of our tax dollars.
Here is the website with the information on the taxpayer-funded
ANTI-RECALL organizing sessions:
http://www.sbctc.org/default.asp?id=1867&pagetype=hotissues
The Institute for Labor and Employment has received over $17 million
from Gray Davis and the State Legislature in the last three years.
The line item for the Institute for Labor and Employment is identified
in the budget as the U.C. Berkeley/UCLA Multi-Campus Research Unit for
Labor Studies. It is on page 477, lines 18-21 of the budget bill
passed by the Senate, AB 1765.
And that money is now being used to help defeat the recall.
Disgusted?
Then help me by alerting the media in your area and don't relent until
it is the top news story on every network, on every radio station and
in every newspaper. You KNOW that this would be the TOP news story if
this were about inappropriate government-funding of PRO-RECALL activities.
