Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (if you live in California)
Below is the sample letter:
Subject: Stop the Waste: No Special Election
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
I'm writing to protest your plan to hold an expensive special election this November. I am also unhappy that you issued an ultimatum to state legislators and then left the state to raise huge amounts of special interest money to promote your initiatives. The people of California don't want to waste $70-80 million on a special election when an election is already scheduled for June 2006, just one year away. Please stop the waste--cancel your plans for a Special Election.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

What's At Stake:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to spend $70-80 million to hold a Special Election this November to continue promoting his anti-worker agenda. The proposed Special Election is a continuation of his attacks on nurses, teachers, fire fighters, police officers and other public employees, including members of IBEW Local 1245, who provide essential services needed by Californians. Schwarzenegger calls these public servants "special interests," but the real special interests are the large corporations who continue to fund the governor's relentless attacks on working people. Schwarzenegger has temporarily withdrawn his proposal to eliminate Cal-PERS, the public employee retirement system. But public employees and the unions who represent their interests will be in the cross-hairs again if the November election is held. The next regularly scheduled election is only 13 months away, in June 2006. Rather than wasting $70-80 million to hold a Special Election in November 2005, Schwarzenegger could be working with the legislature to address the serious problems California faces. The latest opinion polls show that Californians oppose the Special Election by a 2-1 margin. IBEW Local 1245 believes the governor should listen to the people: Stop the Waste. No Special Election.
Campaign Expiration Date:
