Standing Side by Side with California's Nazi: A Letter to the Governator

Stand with you? Stand with you!? That proposition doesn’t sound very enticing to me, Mr. Schwarzenegger. And I have some very good reasons for me feeling that way. But before I get into all that, I want you to know that the only reason I’m writing this letter is because you are the one who has endorsed activity from the citizens of California…constantly telling us to “contact our senators, our representatives; call them, write letters” and so on. So I, as a First Amendment sort of guy, have decided to do just that…exercise my right to participate in our democracy. And so here I go…
For starters: I don’t believe that any state budget is going to rectify our problems here in the Golden State. The Elites can sit in their offices and do all these things with the budget, and no matter what they come up with I will not be satisfied. I refuse. And, as I’m sure you can tell from my voraciousness, I have good reason: there is no justification to be given, as to why the guards’ Union – the C.C.P.O.A. – should be paid anywhere close to $100,000 a year. The number is astronomical and is an insult to the millions of other people who work hard in this state. On top of that salary, they get health benefits, vacation, etc. They sit at their tables, kick they’re feet up, and occasionally when there’s a scuffle they get up and mace everybody.
That simple assessment – which was made by a true, first hand observer: ME! – is exacerbated by the repercussions in failing to make the necessary adjustments. “Criminals produce more criminals.” So easy to understand, even you should be able to get it. Being a Republican, I would certainly expect you to fall right in line when the other Neo-Cons and sanction Nazi-related crimes. Like the crime of producing more criminals. It’s more subtle over here in America…we criminalize drugs then lock them up with harder criminals where they become…gasp…better criminals! What a shocker. Hitler had his Nuremburg rallies, where he induced the masses into believing all his bullshit, creating monsters, and now you are doing the same thing when you pay the Union to assemble their monsters. All under a different banner. This one being “rehabilitation.”
But you know all about Hitler, don’t you? You were friends with one of his comrades…Mr. Kurt Waldeim, I believe. He could lie about it all he wants, but the medals, the signatures attached to all those deportation slips, witness accounts, his initiation to the National Socialist German Student League, not to mention that the U.N. said he was a war criminal…these revelations say differently. And it’s unfortunate that the (numerous) articles written about your connection with him have gone mostly unnoticed. But that’s no surprise, seeing as our media is a well-oiled propaganda machine. The people, subsequently, fall into tight grasp of ignorance and apathy. The only thing they do pay attention to is the stuff that affects their immediate life…like health care, or the economy, or the crime statistics, etc.
Fortunately, you have managed to screw up a great number of these things. You have just recently exercised you’re tyrannical right to veto some of the budget measures – including MEDI-CAL and state parks – while advocating the building a new section on death row. On top of that, the tentative release of 58,000 inmates is going to have to face an appeal from you. So instead of my first suggestion of cutting the salaries of the guards Union and implementing more rehabilitative programs into the prison, you’d rather just “cut, cut, cut”, but always making sure to have enough money to lock up more inmates and fill the pockets of the bastards who create the problems.
Hey, don’t get me wrong, I know that the Union is powerful. But aren’t you the Governator? You're supposed to strong-arm these things.
Anyways, you can not put a band-aid on a gun shot wound. And that is what you are doing here. “Releasing them into different custody”, or whatever the language is, is practically the same thing here. You need to push for the judges’ original order of 58’000. You should be able to find just about that many first-time, non-violent offenders with only a year or so to go. Pretty close.

I sympathize with you though Arnold. I really do. And I can agree that in a State as complicated as California there are going to be problems. But if you are so serious about solving our problems you would do something with the prison problem, and put a few more dollars where it is needed.
And if you were really that adamant about shutting off our borders (as a voice recording some years back had proved) you’d put more energy into that as well. Instead, these problems go unnoticed…and, as always, you – along with all the other people not paying attention – have perpetuated our problems. Mexicans immigrants, devastated by NAFTA and you’re willingness to promote drug cartels, which lead to horrendous conditions, have made them come over here for a better life. Can’t blame ‘em. But there goes the health-care costs…there goes the incarceration rate…and there goes the whole fucking state.

Convictedly,
A Red Wolf
