Linda Slocum Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Don't forget to include the Governator in your mail/email list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzEuph Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I don't want this to take away from this thread, because it could be one of its own. But who was the first corps to use bingo as a fundraiser. Granted not all corps are allowed to bingo, but it seems to be the most successful.

Zeke Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Once I heard that Fielder was coming on board at SCV I knew it would be the needed shot in the Arm for the Organization. And if there was ever a time they needed it would be now in Lieu of this pending issue with gaming here in the State of California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff DeMello Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Back on topic ... THANK YOU for all of you that have acted on this. If this bill goes through it could SEVERELY AFFECT the financial condition of The Blue Devils, and it won't help SCV either! Next please go to digg.com and click "digg it" ... THANKS AGAIN!

Walter Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hey Jeff, didn't you Bingo get it a few years ago when a Indian reservation in your area got permission to have their own bingo or casino ? This is a real kick in the head. Would a letter to Mr. Schwartzenager (sp) be of any help ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff DeMello Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 I've faxed Gov. Arnie ... please do the same! This situation makes a kick-in-the-head look desireable. :( Also ... thank you to John Donovan for putting this story on the front page of DCP!

Linda Slocum Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Would a letter to Mr. Schwartzenager (sp) be of any help ? It's spelled "Governator"... Yes, a letter to Arnold would be appropriate as well as the local reps for your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feathers Up Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Well the good news is that we have a good amount of time to rally against this bill...The Gov has stated he WILL NOT sign the bill if it's passed until they come up with a budget for the state..And that could be a while..Here's a response from Governor Schwarzenegger which I got from the SCV Alumni: Thank you for sharing your thoughts about SB 1369. I appreciate your passion, and I always love getting input from my fellow Californians. California, however, is now the only state in the nation without a budget, and it will only become harder for the state to function as our stalemate continues. Because I know that California deserves better, I won't sign any bills until the Legislature passes a budget. We are now almost two months into the new fiscal year. The legislators have come back from vacation and have been working on multiple bills that have nothing to do with the budget. I understand that many of these bills may be good for California, and I understand that there are people like you all over who feel strongly that they should be passed. But our focus right now must be on getting a budget passed - otherwise, we will run out of money to pay for services and goods and the state will suffer. It's time to send a message that we are tired of missed deadlines and business as usual. Let me be very clear: the next bill that I sign will be the budget, and anything else that reaches my desk will have to wait. I hope you'll contact your local legislators and tell them that it's time to pass a budget. You can find their contact information at www.leginfo.ca.gov. Your voice is important, and I'm confident that when legislators hear the concerns of their constituents, they will act and do what is right. Thanks again for your enthusiasm. When we've passed a responsible budget with meaningful reform so that this doesn't happen again, I will remember your letter when I consider this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIHasBeen Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) We don't want this to get to the Governor's desk ... It needs to be squashed in the State Senate. Edited August 21, 2008 by DCIHasBeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff DeMello Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 We don't want this to get to the Governor's desk ... It needs to be squashed in the State Senate. Excellent point ... once Arnie sees it, he WILL sign it. It can NOT get to his desk ... if it does, and he signs it ... let's just say it will be a very tough time for BD. PLEASE ... all of you in California ... Take ACTION now, before the Senate votes on it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
