I don't have to take money from anybody. I have plenty of money;'' and, ''Any of those kinds of real big, powerful special interests, if you take money from them, you owe them something.'' <br><br> Since he announced his candidacy, Schwarzenegger has raised $40 million from big industry that's about $80,000 each day twice as much as Governor Gray Davis, who he replaced for being a cash register politician. <br><br> FTCR has launched an Internet petition campaign: ''Governor, Please Stop the Fundraising,'' in response to Schwarzenegger's recent remarks stating that the public does not care that he has broken campaign promises to clean-up <br>  <br> politics as usual.
