Schwarzenegger Now Working For CDFA. LBAM Spray, CA.

by Mim Ellis
Summary: Governor Schwarzenegger allies himself with law-breakers CDFA against the people of California.

We've talked about political corruption. We've talked about lies. We've talked about Schwarzenegger accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from pesticide manufacturer Stewart Resnick and CDFA Ag. Secretary A.G. Kawamura.

Nonetheless, I was completely blown away by the following quote taken from the Scotts Valley Press Banner:

Schwarzenegger said CheckMate will undergo tests of its potential for eye, inhalation, respiratory and other irritants, known as the “six-pack” toxicology test.

Reminded that the six-pack test isn’t a complete EIR, Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Rachel Cameron said the governor was “confident we will prevail” in the appeal of Burdick’s ruling.

We will prevail? We?

It's my understanding that a superior court ruling was made against CDFA and that CDFA was going to appeal it. Where does Schwarzenegger fit into this? When did he become one with CDFA? When did they hire him?

I simply couldn't believe my eyes reading this quote which incontrovertibly convicts Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of tremendous impropriety in the following ways:

1) It proves him to be allied with CDFA rather than the people of California whom he serves.

2) In attesting his confidence that 'we will prevail' he reveals that his agenda is to spray the people of California, before any of his six-pack toxicology tests give 'results' regarding spray safety. His agenda is supposed to be protecting the people of California - not prevailing over superior court rulings or working for CDFA.

3) Having exposed himself as a man with improper allegiances which are counter-productive to his duties as a public servant, Gov. Schwarzenegger has shown himself to be incapable of the scientific impartiality that would make him an appropriate facilitator or judge of the safety testing of pesticides which will effect the health of millions of citizens.

What is, perhaps, most baffling about this man's behavior is the open way in which he reveals his inappropriate allegiances and attitudes. As he says, "Any of those kinds of real big, powerful special interests, if you take money from them, you owe them something."

Apparently, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger owes Stewart Resnick so much, he is willing to poison 7 million Californians to make things even-Steven. Apparently, he owes CDFA so much, he's joined their ranks and become one with them, to the tune of hoping 'we' can overturn a court ruling that has demanded that CDFA obey the law and conduct an EIR to protect public health. He's hoping 'we' can break the law.

Watch this man destroy his own political career by taking Big Ag and law-breakers as his partners and guides, winning the mistrust and hatred of millions of voters in the process. His legacy as Governor, his name in history, is going to be one of unprecedented shame.
