Disclaimer Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) http://crooksandliars.com/julia-rosen/caught-camera-absurdity-arnoldbucks California faces financial "Armageddon," as Arnold Schwarzenegger bluntly stated a few weeks ago. And yet Arnold and his fellow Republicans rejected compromises by Democrats to rescue our state from a catastrophic budget crisis, unparalleled in the history of California. Because of the ridiculous 2/3rds budget rule -- the super-majority required to pass a budget in the California state legislature -- and Arnold's failure to deliver even one vote from a small cabal of obstructionist Republicans, Californians may be getting IOUs in the mail next month instead of financial aid checks or tax refunds. Many Californians are so overwhelmed by this paralyzing crisis that they've just tuned it out. As a result, Arnold is not being held accountable for his failure to lead. That's why the Courage Campaign decided to try something a bit unorthodox -- raise awareness by using humor to highlight the absurdity of these IOU's, or what we are calling "Arnoldbucks." We asked one of our members to see what would happen if he tried to use "Arnoldbucks" as legal tender at a few businesses in the area. You won't believe what happened. It's all caught on camera -- even a few security cams. Watch the video and then spread the word and spread the Arnoldbucks. Download your own Arnoldbucks by clicking the image for a .pdf. Got any ideas on how you would use your Arnoldbucks, or other kind of actions we should take with Arnoldbucks?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVKMA--nt4I Edited February 2, 2009 by JRMMiii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleaveTheGreat Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 It's a good idea...but how are they going to pay for that if they can't even mail income tax refunds on time?
