EDITOR: With California facing financial ruin, I believe it is time for a change. How can we let professional politicians continue to promise us the moon and deliver only on what their special interests dictate?
This state has got to be run like a business, and the hard choices have to be made. Meg Whitman doesn't have to listen to anyone or bend to special interests, and she can make the decisions that have to be made.
We in the private sector have lost jobs, homes, health care, food stamps, 401(k)s and welfare programs for those in need. We need someone to speak for us before it's too late. I don't care how much money she is spending because how many jobs in the media has she saved? All the money she is spending is staying here in California.
What happens if she loses the election? She's still a billionaire, Governor Moonbeam will run California as a professional politician, and it is business as usual. This is one vote she has, and anyone concerned with the future of California needs to look past her money and focus on her successes and hope that California will be one of them.
Vote for Meg Whitman. I think it's time for a change.
