Alvarez for gov?

Okay, I’m wondering who advises third or fourth or sixth party candidates.


The state news since Friday has been about the pending budget resolution. Oh yea, we’re 99 days past the beginning the fiscal year and the legislature has yet to agree on the spending levels.


If you want to govern the state, don’t you have to address the gap between revenues and expenditures. Isn’t that one of the governor’s main responsibilities?


Well, I received an email campaign brochure from Carlos Alvarez, the Peace and Freedom candidate running for Governor. He added with emphasis, he is also a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.


“The Carlos Alvarez Campaign for Governor demands the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO troops occupying Afghanistan and Iraq. Today, the 9th anniversary of the war on Afghanistan, it is working families that suffer while the military-industrial complex rakes in millions of dollars worth of profit.”


Okay, that’s an important issue, I don’t question the merit of debating it, IF ALVAREZ WERE RUNNING FOR A NATIONAL OFFICE SUCH AS PRESIDENT OR SENATOR.


The Gov of California, despite the 7th largest economy, is not going to decide this issue. Perhaps we should get his views on the 17th amendment or the TARP bailout.


Oh well, have fun Nov. 2, still time to register to vote or request a mail ballot.
