Reply #5: I just called his office to complain.

[Panda1]

MarBorg Industries: 136 North Quarantina Santa Barbara, CA

Local Fire Department Union members are there, teacher's union members too. NOTHING at his site...no press release, no media coverage. I didn't find out until just before I posted the article...and I only checked for it after I had spoken with a union member this morning.

Email Ahnuld:

Write to him and call him:
Governor's Office

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814
Phone: [phone]
Fax: [phone]

"Julie", at the phone number above claimed that all of Arnold's "meetings" are public knowledge and that if I have an issue with his scheduling I should call his campaign office at [phone]

Julie refused to give me her last name. She said she's not required to do so. I asked her who pays her salary. She said, "The state of California" and I told her that as a taxpayer, I pay her salary and I was entitled to some answers. I wanted to know why Arnold is conducting a secret stealth campaign with hand picked Chamber of Commerce members to push for his initiatives. I asked why the information was released ex post facto. Her response was that I must be upset that I wasn't personally invited. I told ner no, that I was upset that the voters of California were not informed so that we could protest. She said his appearances are not made public for security reasons. I told her Arnold is taking a leaf from Bush's play book and hiding from the public and then putting out photo op misinformation. Julie said that "anyone" can call the Governor's office any time and email him too and that there is a lot of support for these propositions. I told her I understood all that but there was NOT a lot of support and she was being misleading and disingenous with all her replies to me. She tried to tell me that this town hall meeting was well publicized, as are all the Governor's appearances and that must be true since I had read about it in the paper. I asked her not to play games with me or be coy since I can read. I told her I knew all about the Rove/Ginsberg/Issa plans and actions regarding the recall of Davis and that we didn't want a recall in the first place. She denied that the people I had met in front of my local supermarket with the recall petitions were from out of state. She tossed in that "out of state unions" were coming in to assist our unions. So I asked her about Enron and the lawsuit Davis had filed for the price gouging, she said "that's a private company" so I asked her why Arnold had taken money out of the school budgets...she told me I was wrong about that. She also claimed that Arnold is not trying to silence the unions nor take their retirements. I again pointed out to her that I can read and I have the propostions sitting here in front of me.

She told me that if I don't like it I can go now and let the Governor know how I feel. I told her it was hard to find him since he's a bubble boy just like Bush and they keep all their meetings secret. I asked her where Ahnuld will be tomorrow, or the next day. She can't release that information. I asked again why he doesn't let us know where these fake public meetings are going to be. She said no politicians realease their schedules. I said no, only Republicans hide from the public because they don't want to hear what we have to say.

I'm fuming and ready to spit nails.
