Open Letter to Honorable CA Governor Jerry Brown,

Last week in your State of the State 2011 report you proclaimed "...This is not a time for politics as usual. The stakes are too high. Voters are clearly telling us that our state and our nation are going in the wrong direction. Yet, our two main political parties both in Washington and in California are as far apart as I have ever seen them. The times call out for vision and for discipline. Discipline so that we live within the revenue which the state collects each year, and Vision so that we rise above mere party, act as Californians first, and put our trust in the people." Then, you went on..."Let me read to you, Article 2, Section 1 of the California Constitution: "All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their protection, security and benefit, and they have the right to alter or reform it when the public good may require." "When democratic ideals and calls for the right to vote are stirring the imagination of young people in Egypt and Tunisia and other parts of the world, we in California can't say now is the time to block a vote of the people. In the ordinary course of things, matters of state concern are properly handled in Sacramento. But when the elected representatives find themselves bogged down by deep differences which divide them, the only way forward is to go back to the people and seek their guidance. It is time for a legislative check-in with the people of California."

On behalf of the People of California and  as the author of the CA Unalienable Bill of Rights Initiative, I respectfully request that you as our Governor and ALL the members of both political parties in our California Assembly place BOTH your tax extension ballot measure and the CA Unalienable Bill of Rights initiative directly before the voters on the June 2011 Special Election. We  Californians "still" hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...
