I would like to know how can we join together to reverse the new laws that effect the homecare providers and clients. We need to band together to reverse this decision. The new law seems to be communism. How can the Governor pass a law that requires backgrond checks, finger printing, and unannounced house visits with audits and investigations. For heavens sake this sounds like communism. The governor has attempted to eliminate IHSS for so long and now he wants to find a way to cut hours and services and eventually eliminate it all together. His dictatorship of who can take care of who is rediculous. If you know and trust someone to care for you they should be allowed to. The governor should not dictate who can take care of you by implementing a new law that if you have a felony or a serious misdemeanor charge you are not allowed to care for someone. Sounds like discrimination. The governor has crossed the line and I do not know how in the hell these new laws were passed concitering he had no evidence what so ever alleging that IHSS has a lot of fraud.Sign the petition to recall the governor at http://totalrecall2009.com/Sign_Recall_Petition.html

tell your friends and family to sign the petition. We need to get rid of him asap. For so long he has targeted the young, the weak, the disabled and the poor. It is time we raise our voices and move forward tenatiously to seek his removal as governor. Join me in the fight against the governor of California. Lets band together and make a difference. Lets speak out loud for all the children, the disabled and the elderly. Lets make a difference. We cannot allow this injustice to continue anymore it is time to be bold and feirce. Lets terminate the terminator!!!!

I guess this Mr. Govenor has never had any one that has low income and that is disabled or eldery that can not do for them selves,,Just who does he think he is,,taking away from people Who really need this help and can not afford it as they are on ssi or ss, I just wonder if MR. GOVENOR would like to live on SSi, with no help at all..He shold be helping the people who can not afford to hire help to help them He takes away from the wrong people,,It would cost way more for thses people to go into a nursing home, so he should think if he can…These people would love to be able to go to work,,I get so upset over what he wants to do and he thinks he is so damn smart..

Its ashame Arnold Schwarzenegger can honestly admit to going home to his jacuzzi and smoke cuban cigars with no remorse of the lives that he’s ruining. It really makes you think what his real priorities are. I dont understand why politics always try to wow us with their empty promises like a prostitute on a stroll only to rob us in the end! How can he honestly manage to take from the poor people until their lives are a living hell? Its so cliche and im so sick and tired of it. How can you whine and cry about a budget deficit but you give big tobacco and oil corporations tax breaks? Thats where all the money is isnt it? Billion dollar a year companies and they dont have any extra money to give? But yet you wanna take from the poor? Does Arnold Schwarzenegger seriously have a mental issue? Does he know that its the little people that got him into the office? Or do we matter anymore? But yet he has time to star in movies? Republicans want to support his decision but yet you give judges furloughs to stall unemployment wages? You cut the police force? And you cut higher education? Does he know the little people run the city? Without these 3 components there will be disaster! Yet hes noted for changing the infrastructure of california? It must be for the worst… Any governor that takes money from a childs parents, the education the childs need to make it in life, and the police force to keep them safe from harms way is certainly the DEVIL!

The governor just signed my mom’s death warrant, as far as I’m concerned. I’ve spent all my savings to keep her in her own apt. with her beloved pet. I can’t keep her in her home without aid from IHSS and can’t keep her in my home because I need to work and she needs full care. A nursing home will kill her. Thanks, Gov. Schwarzenegger. Your care and concern for the elderly and their families is overwhelming.

The governor wasn’t just going to make cuts to In Home Care-he wanted to basically illiminate it by 90%. As a taxpayer, would you rather pay someone fifteen hundred a month per client. In Home Care, or pay Three to four thousand a month per client?When you get old, which will happen, does your family want to pay a lot of money to have you sit in your feces in a old folks home, or have you stay in your own home, which would cause less, and be better care. Come on people, quit being bullies!!!!!!

One of my favorite catch phrases is that “we shouldn’t balance the budget on the backs of…” [name your favorite victim -- low paid workers, people dependent on safety net support, our kids etc.] My reaction is, okay, whose backs should we balance the budget on? Those are where all the money goes, so there’s not much left to cut. Right or wrong, taxes aren’t going to be part of the budget fix this year. It’s a virtual impossibility politically. I voted for the revenue items May 19th and, back in Feb., favored a 50/50 cut/revenue fix. Not gonna happen. So, it’s all cuts, on the backs of just about everybody.

Smokey, I’m with you! Hold the Judge in contempt!

The rest of the world is running away from Socialism and the U.S. is running right into it (particularly here in California).

HLSIII, as for the Governor, he takes no salary and he lives within his means – so should you and everyone else!

As a hard-bitten taxpayer, I hold the judge in contempt.
