Arnold did it again


Our people in Sacramento say that Mr. Brain-Freeze has once again vetoed the California Dream Act. More details soon.
Feel free to vent off here, oh precious and always-shy lurkers.

Update(6:16AM): Some sort of veto message.
To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 1301 without my signature.
I share the author’s goal of making affordable education available to all California
students, but given the precarious fiscal condition the state faces at this time, it would not be prudent to place additional demands on our limited financial aid resources as specified in this bill.
For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger

This makes no sense. Full breakdown later.

easiest time for him to veto it. he's screwed up the budget so bad, it's an excuse to cancel everything. such as worker salaries...
the more schwarzenegger slashes programs, the less money california has. like a malicious accounting miracle.
que viva el dream act.

It will live on, we will fight on, and we will win, soon. Education is one of the few "pure" institutions left in the United States, a civil liberty that one can deny another for only so long.

Plus, soon we will reach the caliber of his aids and representatives; I bet some of us have done so already. Every single opponent of education and rights for undocumented students can try over and over to put their versions of light-resistant blinds on our future. Sooner or later though, they won't be able to shroud our potential. Kind of like...The Hulk!
