I have read that Meg is an outdoors woman and a hunter, I have also heard that she feel that the current gun laws and bans are a good thing. I have not seen anything on here website that would indicate any knowledge or preferences one way or the other on the issues of the MLPA though I have not looked at here site in a few weeks.

she needs to put it in writing... and release it out to the press...

That small lead Jerry brown has will shrink quiet a bit. Youd be very suprised how many sportsman who are voting... The MLPA to them is mor eimportant than many of the other issues.

She needs to step her campaign game up

Just looked at Megs site and nothing about the MLPA but unless you plan to vote for MOONBEAM BROWN it may do some good to send an email http://www.megwhitman.com/contact.php I do not see how it could hurt.

Just the fact that she knows what some of the consequences of the MLPA are indicates something positive to me. I am reminded of one of her first commercials where she said " if it costs jobs we won't do it". We can only hope that, when push comes to shove, any politician will stick to their guns though.

You are right, she should put it in writing. I wish I had it on video but it was sort of spontaneous.

What's really interesting is that I posted this same thing over on BD to get the word out and after about a dozen replies similar to those posted here, the thread was closed because "it was getting too partisan."

I thought that was weird and re-read the posts a couple of times looking for signs of something out of line until it finally jumped out at me.... Numerous Jerry Brown, or more accurate, anti-Meg Whitman ads paid for by unions on the site.

Is it possible that some in the fishing community would sell out our sport and our freedom for some advertising dollars?

MEG SUPPORTS PROP 21

this is America.....it's ALWAYS about the money!

Which is why we'll have a hard time finding ANY politician to side with us.

Jerry and Meg will both bend us over so fast it's not even funny!! Saw an add in the paper the other day....MEG SUPPORTS PROP 21 !!!!!

Seriously, with all the talk of voting out incumbants, Meg vs. Jerry exc....just to vote in ANOTHER DEM. or REP?? r u F@$%ing kidding me? When are we gonna learn....it's not the DEM's or REP's screwing stuff up, it's the fact that we as voters empower the "two party system"....IMHO.

Incase you are not aware here are some other canidates for CA gov.:

American Independent - Chelene Nightingale
Libertarian - Dale Ogden
Green - Laura Wells
Peace and Freedom - Carlos Alvares

peace and freedom party check out there website, good for a chuckle.

It isnt the 2 party system that is the problem. There is democratic countries who got the same issues we do and they have 10 parties...

Its acountability... thats the problem. If you flog a couple politicians from time to time,and you make lots of noise and anger. not to mention voting them out the next election.

Politicians will be less likely to pull your pants down when they make legislation, And they will be less likely to put there hands in your wallet.

The bigger problem is no one is educated when they vote. You really have to sit down and plug away at the props and the canidates to figure out what you think is best for you. Thats what voting is about... But people dont put the time in or they get turned off by "gridlock" or political Adds, and I dont blame them one bit. Politics is ugly stuff, always remeber that the capaign adds are only meant for stupid people or the people who dont want to put the work in figuring out the politicians backrounds.

But hey when they come for your wallet dont complain. If you dont vote or your not educated on the issues when you vote.
