FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 29, 2010 -- ACTION ALERTS!!!!!

We need to push now to have Governor Schwarzenegger sign these critical bills before he leaves office. The health and welfare of our communities depend on it. Your letter can make a difference on whether these bills become law!


... 1. California Needs a Family Recovery Budget that Helps get Our Families and Economy Back on Track Not a Hasty Quick-Fix Budget!

We passed the budget deadline but we still don't have a fair and just budget solution. Tell your legislator that we need a budget that seeks $8.9 billion in revenue solutions, not a draconian cuts only budget that targets seniors, children, and families.

2. Expungement has the power to remove barriers in employment, licensing, and housing.

People seeking criminal record remedies to access better employment opportunities are counting on you to sign this bill into law. By doing so you will enhance public safety, and reduce the rate of recidivism. AB 2068 will promote public safety by helping workers with criminal records, who have successfully completed their sentences, access employment.

3. Oppose the use of shackles on pregnant inmates in California

In California, we currently shackle pregnant women. In jails and prisons, women are forced to walk with shackles around their swollen ankles, chains around their middles, and handcuffs behind their backs. They walk through downtown city blocks chained to one to another, trying their best not to lose balance.

4. Tell Governor Schwarzenegger to Parole Medically Incapacitated Inmates

SB 1399, which proposes to make severely ill or incapacitated inmates eligible for parole, will save the state $200 million in annual prison health care costs without jeopardizing public safety. The bill will not apply to offenders sentenced to death or life without the possibility of parole. It is only extended to inmates who are not considered to be a public threat.

5. Democracy Requires Participation Tell Governor Schwarzenegger to Sign SB 970

College students are often first-time voters who are overwhelmed by classes, exams, and jobs. SB 970 would help them turn in their ballots and have their voices heard. Especially now, students deserve to be represented. As our state makes difficult decisions, we must make every effort to include every Californian.

6. How Much Does a Pack of Cigarettes Cost?

A person's chance of successfully quitting more than doubles when using effective cessation treatments - today is the day California can give people who smoke and want to quit the access to treatments they need in order to be successful and at the same time save the state billions of dollars.

7. Help Bring Transparency & Accountability to Higher Education

As we return to school this fall we have a real opportunity to bring much needed transparency to California State University Foundations and Auxiliaries so that we can help ensure that every penny of state funding meant to fund class sections and other vital resources for students is used for its intended purpose.

SB 330 will protect our California public colleges and universities and the taxpayer.
