Hi All

I had an opportunity to hear Meg Whitman speak yesterday.  I was impressed.  Yes, I know, she does not have the greatest voting record, but when Fortune 500 companies are hiring their next CEO I would hazard a guess that they don’t limit their search to people who buy their product.  We need someone to step up and treat our state like a business.  A business with a charitable side, but a business. One that is failing and needs to be turned around.

If you have an opportunity to hear Meg, I highly encourage you to go.  She started on time, spoke briefly and then took questions. She did not ask for money.  (Did I mention she started on time….) You can submit your email on her webpage and they will update you when she is in your area.

At a minimum, follow this link, http://www.megwhitman.com/policy_magazine_distribution.php, and read her plan.  48 pages, it can be read over a cup of coffee or two, on the treadmill, while sitting in traffic… ok skip the last one, but read it.  Hiring, I mean electing, people so deeply entrenched, personally- a la the Governator- or professionally in politics is not working.  Does it scare anyone that we may regurgitate Jerry Brown. I am horrified. 

Then be sure to vote, for anyone you want but vote. Encourage friends, family, staff, and  complete strangers to vote. This is the link to apply to vote by mail http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_m.htm  Print it, hand it out, vote!

 We don’t want to leave our children with our debts. We have to try something new.

 My Best- Mary
