You Weren’t Sure Who Supports Prop 11? Be Sure Now.

Just in case you weren’t quite sure on Prop 11, the Republican Voters First redistricting measure, you can be now. This measure is a right-wing initiative to help the GOP in whatever quixotic way that they think it can.  The proof? How about a fundraiser with a right-wing Lt. Gov. from Texas?

At least a couple years ago, maybe longer, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst hosted California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for a cozy fundraiser at an Austin hotel. The California ceo had done, or was going to do, the same for Dewhurst in the Golden State.

Well, Arnold’s going to be back Thursday and you’re invited.

In case you wanted the embossed invitation, you can find it here. BUt you’ll need to do the embossing.

Just for the record, Dewhurst is no post-partisan. As a long-time Texan, I can assure you that this guy is pretty darn right-wing.  But, Arnold really isn’t that far from him, and loves the cash for his ridiculous waste of time redistricting measure.  That’s our Arnold, putting Republicans first.
