Californian’s have a history of taking control of their destiny when their political leaders fail to perform as promised. In the past, when California’s political leaders fail to lead citizens took action by launching initiatives, such as the California Jobs Initiative to suspend the job killing AB32 Global Warming Solutions act of 2006.
With the passage of AB32 California’s political leaders promised citizens that California would lead the nation in the creation of green jobs. However, the promises have not been fulfilled. When AB32 was signed by the Governor California’s unemployment rate was 4.7% Since then, it has grown to 12.6%
Here is an even more compelling graphic from the Sac Bee’s Interactive web page
If you look closely it is easy to see why it was not hard to collect the needed California Jobs Initiative signatures in the red and purple Counties on this map. Citizens in the red and purple Counties recognize the failure of California’s leaders to listen and are compelled to take charge, and restore California to greatness.
Now, we need to make sure that citizens continue to understand the issues, as they are bombarded with counter claims by our failed leaders and their rent seeking fellow travelers. Come November, well informed citizens will vote to restore California to the forefront of job creation in the nation. In past recessions California let the nation’s recovery, and we can do it again once we get the Legislature and Governor off our back.
