A TWO (2) PART MEETING YOU MUST NOT MISS! PART # 1 - Author & CalWatchdog's Editor in Chief; Steven GreenhutAuthor of the Book:“Plunder! How Public Employee Unions are Raiding Treasuries, Controlling Our Lives and Bankrupting the Nation.”His Op-Ed article for the Wall Street Journal; "Plundering California" is a must read. Here is the link:http://liberty.pacificresearch.org/press/plundering-california

• The 2010 California Budget shortfall is projected to be $20B or more!
• This Shortfall is larger than the entire state budgets of all but a handful of other States
• The California Legislature continues to use budget gimmicks, including unrealistic assumptions of new revenue and accounting tricks employed to effectively borrow from future year.
• California as a state enacted the largest tax increase ever imposed by any statehouse in the history of America. The results were predictable: Like the tax increase of 1991, California plunged deeper into recession and produced less revenue.
• The inability of politicians to restrain their spending of taxpayer dollars is the direct result of the forceful application of political power. And, in California, there are no greater political influences than the public employee unions.

To make a difference, lovers of liberty ought not only to buy Steven Greenhut’s book, but buy several copies to distribute to friends and family.

To win the battle, we have to educate voters and Plunder! will not only educate, it will enrage. And in this case, a little rage is a good thing.Don't miss this opportunity to listen to Steven Greenhut LIVE! - books will be available for purchase and autograph.
