ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER'S BALLOT MEASURE RECOMMENDATIONS. Quotable:
Reasons to Vote NO on Proposition 66 .. Governor Schwarzenegger’s Analysis

* A wealthy businessman whose adult son is in prison for killing two people and seriously injuring another spent $1.57 million to put Proposition 66 on the ballot. If it passes, his son will be released early. So will some 26,000 other convicted criminals .. * Proposition 66 weakens California’s “Three Strikes Law” by creating a new loophole that will cost taxpayers millions of dollars and flood our streets with thousands of dangerous felons, including rapists, child molesters, and murderers. * If Proposition 66 passes, arson, residential burglary, attempted burglary, criminal threats, felony gang crimes, felonies like drunk driving in which innocent people are seriously hurt or killed and certain violent sex crimes by juvenile criminals will no longer be considered “strikes.”

UPDATE: Jerry Brown, Gray Davis, Pete Wilson and George Deukmejian join Schwarzenegger in the NO on 66 campaign.

UPDATE II: Movie buddy Jesse Ventura is ripping Schwarzenegger in a paid endorsement spot for Indian gambling interests backing Prop. 70, which Schwarzenegger opposes. Posted by Greg Ransom
