Insert witty use of Schwarzenegger film title here

Polls show that two out of the three ballot initiatives pushed by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will fail in November's special election. The Polls indicate that the citizens of the best state in the Union are not supporting the Governor's proposed cap on school spending, and do not support the use of retired judges to determine California's districts. However, the poll shows support for increasing the time required for teachers to receive tenure. As a product of California public schools, and a former pupil of a tenured teacher who stalked me and lived in the classroom supply closet, I would endorse this initiative.

As support for the Republican Governor continues to dwindle, and the novelty of having an action hero at the helm of Sacramento is fading, it is appropriate to question the necessity of the upcoming special election. If California's Legislature is so out of step with its citizens, why did they elect them to office the first place? If the state is spending millions of dollars to hold the special election, why not put the members of the Legislature up for re-election to test their approval? This solution is far superior than turning over the intricacies of policy-making to the uninformed masses of the state. Throw the bums out of office, or let them make the laws.
