Truce Between Arnie and Republicans

http://www.knoxstudio.com
"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and California Republican Party Chairman Duf Sundheim emerged from a meeting Thursday to declare that as far as they're concerned, the controversy over the governor's appointment of Democrat Susan Kennedy as chief of staff is over.

"I think that issue has been put to rest," Sundheim said, after the governor's session with the state GOP board in a hotel conference room that lasted about an hour. "He made it clear she is there to implement his policies. She's totally committed to that, and we support his decision."

Schwarzenegger & Republicans Meet

http://www.shns.com/
"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger got an earful from GOP colleagues Tuesday in his first meeting with the Assembly Republican Caucus since his hiring of Susan Kennedy, a longtime Democratic activist, as his chief of staff.

The hourlong private session, attended by nearly 20 of the 32 Assembly Republicans, was a wide-ranging discussion on issues from a future transportation bond to defeat of Schwarzenegger's initiatives in last month's special election."

Way To Go Arnold...

Way to go Arnold. Justice was served, finally. The only injustice was that it took 24 years to accomplish. It gave him too much time to reflect and strategize to build a base of well-meaning but wrong supporters. Why would he not write children's books condemning gang violence since no one in their right mind would buy a children's book supporting gang violence.

Arnold, I'm Disapointed In You...

You let me down. I thought that I was voting
for another German/Austrian American who had
made it through creativity, intelligence, dilligence
and personal courage, and instead I find a coward
who can't even stand up for what is right when it is
not politically expedient and a man who has lost his edge.

You could have had the courage to do the right
thing with Tookie Williams, instead of the political thing.
After 25 years, I don't care about the original crime.
Many murderers have done far less time. I do not care
to indulge the blood lust revenge of relatives. Whether
he was really guilty, I don't know. If he did commit the crime,
your decision was stupid. If he did not, your decision was evil.

You have ignored the lessons of history. Certainly, we of
German descent must have learned something from this
century's events. If people have no hope, they will riot and
create revolutions. There will be civil unrest and civil war.
If people feel they have nothing to lose, they will destroy.
They will fight to the death and take down everything.

Germany's situation was hopeless. So Germans went to war.
Some insame Germans took this as the opportunity to eliminate hope
for Jews. And so for these same reasons, Germans were defeated.
Because people can not live without hope and can not tolerate the
creation of a hopeless situation.

Tookie represented hope to many people, the hope that even a bad
man could change, that no matter how bad the beginning, a
person could change to create at least some good.

You of all people could have taken that and even turned it to your
advantage, with a creative twist, if you were still half the man
you used to be. But that would have taken courage that
apparently you no longer have.

Killing Is Wrong...

Dear people,I write to you not as a teenage girl but as a peer. A peer in a society where no-one can win. No-one can do what's right all the time because we are only human. We are not entitled to know or understand the workings of the world as it is beyond our grasp, but i do believe we are entitled to our opinions and sometimes though opinions differ they need to be heard. In relation to the execution of Williams i must voice my thoughts not because they are right because they are mine and in the democracy we are told to believe in, a democracy that our ancestors have worked for, i beliave i am entitled to my opinion. He killed four people. I will not deny that. I ask you to think about it. Each person had a family. Kids, parents, spouses, cousins, aunts, uncles, neices, nephews etc. By destroying their lives he destroyed many others. I dread to imagine their pain. Pain that cuts so deep words and actions can't console. I have been there. I do believe that though we may never fully recover from a loss we can move on. ANd here's the tricky part, do we hold on to our ander and let it consume us. OR do we grieve and suffer and build ourselves back up? For all your pain i am truly and deeply sorry. However i can not see the taking of another human life as justice. Life is sacred. Williams did a bad thing, but that does not make him a bad man. He spent years trying to make up for what he had done. He did his penence. He was working for good. WHat good i ask you can come from killing a man who was encouraging others not to end up like him? he showed remorse and for that we must at least admire him. I put to you GOVERNOR, the power of what you have just done. You have angered a massive force of people and for that you will suffer. I do not wish harm upon you but i must ask how one man's opinion can kill another? in a world where tolerance is preached how can the taking of a life under any circumstance be justified? you may not of pulled the trigger governor but his blood rmains on your hands. FOr that i wish for you that you may find peace. Race has always been an issue. As much as we deny it, it's always there. I believe that equality is where neither side use their race as an excuse. I predict ramifications that the black communtiy if AMerica will indeed make this a race issue and not one of facts. I don't think it is. You can not ask some-one to judge you from the inside and call it racisim if you do not get the desired answer? that's hypocricy. THink about it. I think that racism is going the other way. People are so afriad of being branded as racists, their judgements are being influenced. I'm not trying to anger the Bolack americans im just calling it as i see it. Like i said i may not be agreed with, but i am entitled to my point of view. I wish to send my condolences to the family of Williams and the community that treasured him. Yours sincerely, an irish girl. . . .. . . .Sarah

THE WHITE MAN GIVES US A CRUMB FROM HIS TABLE EVER NOW AND THEN TO MAKE US THINK WE ARE DOING BETTER ,WHAT A GREAT LIE, THE U.S.A. WAS BUILT ON MURDER. LIES. THIEF.ALL THE SINS GOD HATE.THE TEN COMMANDMENT IN THIS COUNTRY IS A JOKE. PEOPLE CAN COME FROM OTHER COUNTRY AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL DO ANY THING TO HELP THEM . THE BLACKS HAVE TO DO WHAT THEY CAN TO MAKE THING TO MAKE LIE A LITTLE BETTER FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY WE ASK FOR BREAD AND GET SNAKES WE ASK FOR A CHANCE AND GET BEAT DOWN ,AND MURDER ONE DAY THOSE ON THE TOP WILL BE ON THE BOTTON AND THOSE ON THE BOTTOM WILL BE ON THETOP .

Schwarzenegger Denies Tookie Clemency (Full Statement)

http://www.mercurynews.com
"Stanley Williams has been convicted of brutally murdering four people during two separate armed robberies in February and March 1979. A California jury sentenced him to death, and he is scheduled for execution on December 13, 2005.

During the early morning hours of February 28, 1979, Williams and three others went on a robbery spree. Around 4 a.m., they entered a 7-Eleven store where Albert Owens was working by himself. Here, Williams, armed with his pump-action shotgun, ordered Owens to a back room and shot him twice in the back while he lay face down on the floor. Williams and his accomplices made off with about $120 from the store's cash register. After leaving the 7-Eleven store, Williams told the others that he killed Albert Owens because he did not want any witnesses. Later that morning, Williams recounted shooting Albert Owens, saying "You should have heard the way he sounded when I shot him." Williams then made a growling noise and laughed for five to six minutes.

On March 11, 1979, less than two weeks later, Williams, again armed with his shotgun, robbed a family operated motel and shot and killed three members of the family: the father, Yen-I Yang, who was shot once in the torso and once in the arm while he was laying on a sofa; the mother, Tsai-Shai Lin, who was shot once in the abdomen and once in the back; and the daughter, Yee-Chen Lin, who was shot once in her face. For these murders, Williams made away with approximately $100 in cash. Williams also told others about the details of these murders and referred to the victims as "Buddha-heads."

Now, his appeals exhausted, Williams seeks mercy in the form of a petition for clemency. He claims that he deserves clemency because he has undergone a personal transformation and is redeemed, and because there were problems with his trial that undermine the fairness of the jury's verdict.

Williams' case has been thoroughly reviewed in the 24 years since his convictions and death sentence. In addition to his direct appeal to the California Supreme Court, Williams has filed five state habeas corpus petitions, each of which has been rejected. The federal courts have also reviewed his convictions and death sentence. Williams filed a federal habeas corpus petition, and the U.S. District Court denied it. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed this decision. Williams was also given a number of post-trial evidentiary hearings, and he and his lawyers had the opportunity at these hearings to present evidence that was not heard at trial. The jury's decision has withstood these challenges.

In all, Williams' case has been the subject of at least eight substantive judicial opinions. Prior to the filing of the clemency petition, the state court habeas process was completed on June 21, 1995, when the California Supreme Court denied Williams' fourth state habeas corpus petition. The federal court habeas process was completed on October 11, 2005, when the United States Supreme Court denied Williams' writ of certiorari.

The claim that Williams received an unfair trial was the subject of this extensive litigation in the state and federal courts. The courts considered the sufficiency of his counsel, the strategic nature of counsel's decisions during the penalty phase of Williams' trial, the adequacy and reliability of testimony from informants, whether Williams was prejudiced by security measures employed during his trial, whether he was competent to stand trial, whether the prosecutor impermissibly challenged potential jurors on the basis of race, and whether his jury was improperly influenced by Williams' threats made against them. There is no need to rehash or second guess the myriad findings of the courts over 24 years of litigation.

The possible irregularities in Williams' trial have been thoroughly and carefully reviewed by the courts, and there is no reason to disturb the judicial decisions that uphold the jury's decisions that he is guilty of these four murders and should pay with his life.

The basis of Williams' clemency request is not innocence. Rather, the basis of the request is the "personal redemption Stanley Williams has experienced and the positive impact of the message he sends" (quoting Williams' own clemency reply). But Williams' claim of innocence remains a key factor to evaluating his claim of personal redemption. It is impossible to separate Williams' claim of innocence from his claim of redemption.

Cumulatively, the evidence demonstrating Williams is guilty of these murders is strong and compelling. It includes: (1) eyewitness testimony of Alfred Coward, who was one of Williams' accomplices in the 7-Eleven shooting; (2) ballistics evidence proving that the shotgun casing found at the scene of the motel murders was fired from Williams' shotgun; (3) testimony from Samuel Coleman that Williams confessed that he had robbed and killed some people on Vermont Street (where the motel was located); (4) testimony from James and Esther Garrett that Williams admitted to them that he committed both sets of murders; and (5) testimony from jailhouse informant George Oglesby that Williams confessed to the motel murders and conspired with Oglesby to escape from county jail.

The trial evidence is bolstered by information from Tony Sims, who has admitted to being an accomplice in the 7-Eleven murder. Sims did not testify against Williams at trial, but he was later convicted of murder for his role in Albert Owens' death. During his trial and subsequent parole hearings, Sims has repeatedly stated under oath that Williams was the shooter.

Based on the cumulative weight of the evidence, there is no reason to second guess the jury's decision of guilt or raise significant doubts or serious reservations about Williams' convictions and death sentence. He murdered Albert Owens and Yen-I Yang, Yee-Chen Lin and Tsai-Shai Lin in cold blood in two separate incidents that were just weeks apart.

But Williams claims that he is particularly deserving of clemency because he has reformed and been redeemed for his violent past. Williams' claim of redemption triggers an inquiry into his atonement for all his transgressions. Williams protests that he has no reason to apologize for these murders because he did not commit them. But he is guilty, and a close look at Williams' post-arrest and post-conviction conduct tells a story that is different from redemption.

After Williams was arrested for these crimes, and while he was awaiting trial, he conspired to escape from custody by blowing up a jail transportation bus and killing the deputies guarding the bus. There are detailed escape plans in Williams' own handwriting. Williams never executed this plan, but his co-conspirator implicated Williams in the scheme. The fact that Williams conspired to murder several others to effectuate his escape from jail while awaiting his murder trial is consistent with guilt, not innocence. And the timing of the motel murders - less than two weeks after the murder of Albert Owens - shows a callous disregard for human life.

Williams has written books that instruct readers to avoid the gang lifestyle and to stay out of prison. In 1996, a Tookie Speaks Out Against Gang Violence children's book series was published. In 1998, "Life in Prison" was published. In 2004, Williams published a memoir entitled "Blue Rage, Black Redemption." He has also recently (since 1995) tried to preach a message of gang avoidance and peacemaking, including a protocol for street peace to be used by opposing gangs.

It is hard to assess the effect of such efforts in concrete terms, but the continued pervasiveness of gang violence leads one to question the efficacy of Williams' message. Williams co-founded the Crips, a notorious street gang that has contributed and continues to contribute to predatory and exploitative violence.

The dedication of Williams' book "Life in Prison" casts significant doubt on his personal redemption. This book was published in 1998, several years after Williams' claimed redemptive experience. Specifically, the book is dedicated to "Nelson Mandela, Angela Davis, Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, Geronimo Ji Jaga Pratt, Ramona Africa, John Africa, Leonard Peltier, Dhoruba Al-Mujahid, George Jackson, Mumia Abu-Jamal and the countless other men, women and youths who have to endure the hellish oppression of living behind bars." The mix of individuals on this list is curious. Most have violent pasts and some have been convicted of committing heinous murders, including the killing of law enforcement. But the inclusion of George Jackson (a militant activist who founded the Black Guerilla Family prison gang and was charged with the murder of a San Quentin prison guard) on this list defies reason and is a significant indicator that Williams is not reformed and that he still sees violence and lawlessness as a legitimate means to address societal problems.

There is also little mention or atonement in his writings and his plea for clemency of the countless murders committed by the Crips following the lifestyle Williams once espoused. The senseless killing that has ruined many families, particularly in African-American communities, in the name of the Crips and gang warfare is a tragedy of our modern culture. One would expect more explicit and direct reference to this byproduct of his former lifestyle in Williams' writings and apology for this tragedy, but it exists only through innuendo and inference.

Is Williams' redemption complete and sincere, or is it just a hollow promise? Stanley Williams insists he is innocent, and that he will not and should not apologize or otherwise atone for the murders of the four victims in this case. Without an apology and atonement for these senseless and brutal killings there can be no redemption. In this case, the one thing that would be the clearest indication of complete remorse and full redemption is the one thing Williams will not do.

Clemency decisions are always difficult, and this one is no exception. After reviewing and weighing the showing Williams has made in support of his clemency request, there is nothing that compels me to nullify the jury's decision of guilt and sentence and the many court decisions during the last 24 years upholding the jury's decision with a grant of clemency.

Therefore, based on the totality of circumstances in this case, Williams' request for clemency is denied."

"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's climate advisers issued ambitious recommendations this week for reducing gases linked to global warming, including a new fee on gasoline and diesel.

The draft proposals fill in the blanks of an executive order Schwarzenegger issued in June, giving California the most aggressive goals in the world for fighting global warming. He commanded the state to reduce "greenhouse gas" emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050."

""That's just part of being governor, is to make those kinds of decisions," he said. "And there are always in this job wonderful moments like today.

He added: "But then again you have a terrible situation where you have to make a decision on that, on the Tookie Williams thing. Yes, it is very tough to do those things."

"In his letter to Schwarzenegger on November 29, Gordon said: "Stanley Williams has renounced gang affiliation and has publicly apologized for his role in gang violence. He has become an accomplished author, activist, and mentor and has received five Nobel Peace Prize nominations, four Nobel Prize for Literature nominations, and the 2005 Presidential Call Service Award for his volunteer work to save youth. Few hold these accomplishments to their credit. Most importantly, Stanley Williams has vowed to spend the rest of his life working toward solutions to abolish gang violence.""

"California's chief executive appears in a small role in "The Kid & I," but revealing the exact nature of the cameo might spoil the fun of the comedy, which stars Tom Arnold, Eric Gores and Linda Hamilton. Suffice it to say that coordinating schedules with the busy and embattled star was something of a challenge. "

Schwarzenegger Author Comments On Arnold's Current Situation

"While it may look like Arnold is losing steam, it stands to reason that he will re-invent himself yet again. Watch for ways in which he turns apparent defeats into humble victories. Watch for how he will either regain his stature as governor or step away from the job TOWARD another one that restores his status as statesman on the grand scale.

This request informs the Governor that (1) those responsible for the investigation have pursued all leads and believe, in their independent judgment, that a reward will help them in their efforts, (2) the crime is one for which a reward may be offered under California law, and (3) the victims' families support the reward.

Schwarzenegger & The Propositions

http://www.japantoday.com/
"Proposition 74 extends the period of time teachers need to win permanent tenure, while Proposition 75 requires public service unions to obtain members' permission each year to use dues for political campaigns, a move that will hurt the Democratic Party which depends on the support of unions.

Proposition 76 caps the amount of money the debt-ridden state can spend each year and allow the governor to make mid-year budget cuts, while Proposition 77 would remove the Democrat-dominated state legislature's power to redraw political boundaries and give it to an appointed panel of three retired judges."

What's At Stake With The Special Election

http://www.thestate.com/
"If Schwarzenegger loses the four measures he has been promoting, analysts say it will undo the populist mystique that gave him a special power during his first year in office. Gone will be the notion that the celebrity Republican governor has such natural appeal he can take his cause directly to the people when Democrats in the Legislature refuse to do his bidding.

The special election campaign and the months-long struggle that preceded it have already inflicted grave damage to Schwarzenegger's standing with the public. For the first time in his political career, he has had to contend with serious opposition, this time from unions that have spent millions on TV ads to drive down his popularity."

Arnie Asks "What To Do With Surplus?"

http://www.newsahead.com
"California's Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced a state-wide election for November for the public’s help in deciding how an unexpected budget surplus will be handled. Several other "ballot initiatives" will be decided on, but the poll is seen less as a matter of issues than as a vehicle for "The Governator’s" political ambitions. The nickname stems from Schwarzenegger’s fame as The Terminator in the movie by the same name.

A positive response to four issues on the ballot is expected to encourage Schwarzenegger and his supporters to test the waters for his run on the United States presidency in the 2008 election."

Conservative Commentary On Special Election

http://worldnetdaily.com/
"The head start this has given Schwarzenegger's foes produced a series of polls indicating that most or all of the initiatives faced defeat, and that Schwarzenegger's own popularity had declined precipitously. Now that "Ah-nold" is wading into the fray himself, however, and some pro-initiative TV commercials are beginning to hit the airwaves, this picture is expected to change. Schwarzenegger has demonstrated an impressive ability to persuade the voters to support his initiatives, and there is no reason why this should suddenly evaporate. In addition, just to assure everybody that he is no lame duck, and expects to be around for quite a while, he has announced that he will run for re-election in 2006. "

Propositions That Arnie Supports

http://www.forbes.com/
"-- Teacher Tenure. Proposition 74 would increase the probationary period for state school teachers from two to five years. It would also make it easier to dismiss teachers who receive two consecutive unsatisfactory performance evaluations. The California chapter of the powerful National Education Association teacher's union is fiercely opposed.

-- Spending Limits. Proposition 76 would amend the state constitution to limit spending to the previous year's level plus the average-revenue growth of the three previous years. If the state legislature does not pass the budget, then the existing budget's spending levels would continue. Under certain circumstances the governor could declare a fiscal state of emergency and amend the budget on his own.

-- Redistricting. Proposition 77 would amend the state constitution to strip redistricting power from the legislature and grant it to a non-partisan, three-member panel of retired judges. "

I have great faith in what we can achieve whether it is trade, immigration, the environment, health care, education, disaster relief, and much more.

California and México share the same future. And we will raise prosperity and the quality of life in our region by embracing that future together. "

Schwarzenegger On Warren Beatty

http://www.signonsandiego.com/
"Beatty's harsh words have been a bit puzzling for Schwarzenegger. In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Schwarzenegger, a Republican, said he and Beatty had a "great relationship" despite their divergent political views. He also suggested his fellow actor was out of work and looking for attention.

"Because, you know, he can give a speech somewhere and if he doesn't mention my name and no one writes about it," Schwarzenegger said. "So...that's why he throws my name in because it becomes newsworthy and it becomes big and gets coverage."

"Arnold Schwarzenegger -- tanned, tan suit, open-collared shirt, running shoes -- will run for re-election in 2006, but first, he says cheerfully, these next seven weeks will be "the rebuttal" to the ad assault from government employee unions. He wants voters to pass ballot measures to make teachers wait five rather than two years before achieving tenure, a lifetime job entitlement; to restrict the growth of government spending by giving governors greater latitude for cutting it; and to give a panel of retired judges power to draw legislative districts."

Official Reelect Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor in 2006 Press Release

Today marks the official launch of the Re-elect Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006 website at http://www.schwarzeneggergovernor.com. This website will chronicle Schwarzenegger’s reelection campaign from his historic announcement last Friday in San Diego to election day 2006 and beyond.

Schwarzenegger made history in 2003 when voters successfully recalled Gray Davis and elected Schwarzenegger Governor. Arnold has made major progress in terminating “business as usual” in California and reforming state government. However, much work needs to be done and Schwarzenegger is announcing his reelection bid now to let all the residents of California know that he’s not leaving the Governor’s office in Sacramento until the job is done.

The special interest groups that thrived pre-Arnie will do everything possible to thwart Schwarzenegger’s re-election. However, the people of California are too smart to be fooled. Californian voters don’t want to go back to the dark days of unresponsive government and a vote for Arnold equals a vote for continued California reform.

Http://www.schwarzeneggergovernor.com will be the top internet resource for information about Governor Arnold’s reelection drive. Make sure to bookmark this resource for the latest updates about the Schwarzenegger campaign. From San Diego to San Francisco, Los Angeles to Monterey, Anaheim to Fresno, Schwarzenegger is the people’s choice for California’s governor and the people will reelect Schwarzenegger in 2006.
