ActionLA Coalition Commentary

This is the beautiful day for the California ! We won every CA propositions pushed by CA Gov. Schwarzenegger and his corporate allies/anti-abortion forces, the CA voters overwhelmingly rejected Prop. 73, 74, 75, 76, 77 and 78 (although we lost 79 and 80 since hardly any money was spent on them).

Thank you everyone who had been helping the election and voting to defeat the Schwarzenegger and his corporate anti-union, anti-abortion & anti-democratic agendas!
