Arnold on the wrong side of history; It will not be forgotten.
CA State Treasurer Phil Angelides tells Arnie how it is--he sums up what most progressives and even some conservatives are feeling in California--and beyond, as the impact of this veto has far reaching ramifications. Here is State Treasurer Phil Angelides' Statement on Governor Schwarzenegger's Veto of the Civil Marriage and Religious Freedom Protection Act:
SACRAMENTO, CA - California State Treasurer Phil Angelides Issued the following statement regarding Governor Schwarzenegger's veto of Assembly Bill 849, the Civil Marriage and Religious Freedom Protection Act:
"By vetoing the Civil Marriage and Religious Freedom Protection Act, Governor Schwarzenegger has come down on the wrong side of history. Governor Schwarzenegger had the chance to enter the pages of history with the likes of Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson; instead he has chosen to be listed alongside George Wallace and Strom Thurmond. Just as Wallace, Thurmond, and many other segragationists came to regret their errors, I hope that Governor Schwazenegger will come to change his views."
