[Several leading newspapers in Southern California have blasted Simitian for wasting the state legislature's time with frivolous resolutions when it should be preparing for a bevy of critical issues coming in the November special election. Even the Santa Cruz Sentinel opinion page stated on Sunday (Aug. 28) that] State Sen. Joseph Simitian, D-Palo Alto, has proposed legislation over the trademark of the name -- while (Senate) time would be better spent on any number of other, more substantive issues. ... Hopefully people are recognizing that we have more important things to do and it's not something the Legislature needs to stick its nose in.

I basically had 24 hours to decide. That's not a lot of time to figure out where you're spending your summer. (They told me) I would be interning at the Santa Cruz Sentinel in Santa Cruz, Calif., so I spent the next 24 hours researching the city ... Santa Cruz is definitely not affordable on $300 a week.

He's faced the challenge all year of convincing people that this is an important election and he has important things on the ballot, ... And that's become that much more difficult at a time Californians have become increasingly concerned about the national and state economies, rising gas prices, government's ability to respond to natural disasters – just a host of issues that seem very threatening to people that just don't seem connected to the special election.

The governor has always said what is important is not June or November but that he and the Legislature work to rebuild California. At this point, it is critical that the Legislature build upon all of the work that has been accomplished thus far.

It's time for the state of Virginia to grow up and say you can't have concealed weapons in the legislature and offices. You don't have a right to put other people's safety at risk in the state legislature.

I feel the public should be informed continuously of what's going on in Harrisburg, what issues are going on in the House and the Senate, and I feel that people should know what issues are coming before the Legislature. With the pay raise, I feel that everyone's eyes will be on Harrisburg, on the House of Representatives, to make the right decisions at the proper time.

People are coming out of the woodwork. I served 14 years in the South Dakota Legislature, and we fought this battle every year I was there. It is so important that we get different people in Pierre in November. We've got to find candidates - Republicans and Democrats - who look at big issues and do not have such self-serving interests.

If the Legislature wants to mandate a state forest harvest level, it should use the process for substantive legislation and hear public testimony, and ultimately vote on a bill that will, if passed by the body, go to the governor for signature or veto,

Foreign judges and legislators are not accountable to the American people. If our courts rely on a foreign judge's opinion or a foreign legislature's enactment, then that foreign judge or legislature binds us on key constitutional issues,

A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. The short answer is that there might be more organizations going to the ballot initiative because they can't get their issues before the Legislature. Either that or they don't agree with what the Legislature has done. Either way, the reason we're doing our initiative is it won't get done by the Republican Legislature.

For me, the union is a very powerful lobby in state government. They have a constituency over the legislature so they can further a lot of my issues.

I'm as frustrated as citizens are that the Legislature didn't get more done, ... Senate Democrats passed a number of good bills on issues that Oregonians support, but the House Republicans chose to kill them.

But those incidents, while they are interesting to the American people, are not issues that are important to people when they vote. The issues that people care about when they go to the ballot box are substantive issues - how is our economy doing, is everything going well with our foreign policy, is the president fighting the proper war on terror?

In the four years since the PATRIOT Act's enactment, a broad range of Americans have petitioned their state and local governments to protect them from unwarranted surveillance and other excesses of the federal government. Eight state legislatures and nearly 400 local and county governments have responded by passing resolutions upholding the civil liberties of their 85 million constituents, who make up one-third of the U.S. population. Such a large, powerful, and nonpartisan groundswell of people acting locally to hold their federal elected representatives accountable is unparalleled in U.S. history. We commend Senator Feingold for reading the state resolutions of Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, and Vermont, and the county and local government resolutions of his home state of Wisconsin aloud to his Senate colleagues yesterday.

Apparently, Governor Schwarzenegger has ripped a page from President Bush's re-election playbook, ... Rule number one in the 'Bush-Rove Guide to Running on a Record of Failure' is to demonize groups of people and use them to divide the electorate by rallying the extremists in your base. It's the only way to explain Governor Schwarzenegger's promise to veto the California marriage equality bill after pledging just last year to support equal rights and responsibilities for California's LGBT families if approved by the courts or the legislature.
