6 Things Arnold Doesn’t Want You to Know

1. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” this year. His last-minute image change and bill signings are an attempt to try and get our votes.

2. The record doesn’t lie. Arnold has been one of the most anti-worker governors in California history. He has cut workers comp benefits for permanently disabled workers by 50%, tried to eliminate secure pensions for over 1 million workers and even tried to take away our right to a lunch break.

3. Arnold Schwarzenegger CANNOT be trusted – he’s still taking millions from corporate special interests. If he wins in Nov. he’ll be right back to doing favors for his corporate donors – he’s even said he’ll go after our pensions again!

4. Phil Angelides has a vision and a plan to put California back on track. He has pledged to increase school funding, make health care more affordable and rebuild our infrastructure.

5. Phil’s got a long record of supporting worker’s issues and standing up to corporate interests. As Treasurer, he strengthened pensions for over 1 million workers, led efforts to fight corporate fraud and recover taxpayer money from Enron and WorldCom, and helped keep good jobs in California by cracking down on corporations that offshore jobs and evade their taxes.

6. We know we can count on Phil Angelides because he has been on the side of workers from day one. Phil Angelides stood up to Schwarzenegger’s attacks on our pensions and spoke out against the Special Election.
