Good for JC!

As I recall, awhile back he said that he and the Governator were relatively good friends. Wonder if that's true now.......

Nice the "no" side seems to be doing well

The Governator and Cameron will team up to defeat skynet's climate problems!

"AB 32 is known as the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The act, passed by the California State Legislature and signed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, is California's landmark clean air legislation. Proposition 23, if enacted by voters, will freeze the provisions of AB 32 until California's unemployment rate drops to 5.5% or below for four consecutive quarters. California's unemployment rate, which currently hovers around 12%, has been at 5.5% or below for four consecutive quarters just three times since 1980.

AB 32 requires that greenhouse gas emission levels in the state be cut to 1990 levels by 2020. The process of cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the state is slated under AB 32 to begin in 2012."

(from Ballotpedia)

If you look at who is actually in support of this Proposition, it's basically a rundown of every oil and gas company that operates within the state. They don't want to clean up their act, and they're using the pretext of job creation to justify remaining in the 20th century.

Companies in support:

Valero                                                           $4,065,636
Tesoro Companies                                            $1,540,636
Flint Hills Resources                                          $1,000,000
Marathon Petroleum Company LLC                       $500,000
Adam Smith Foundation                                     $498,000
Occidental Petroleum                                        $300,000
National Petrochemical and Refiners Association     $100,000
Tower Energy Group                                        $200,000
World Oil Corp                                                 $100,000
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association                 $100,000

Now does THAT look like a list of forward-thinking organizations? I think not. More like future founders of the RDA.

Cameron is 100% on the right side of things here. We can create jobs in economic sectors that DON'T destroy the world. NO on 23.
