Lights, Camera...Action!

The acting governor is at it again. (Reality is not his strong suit.)

“Go For It Arnold” is the name of a group that has been formed to aid the governor in his quest to govern by initiative and they are calling themselves a grass roots organization. Now the historical definition of grass roots is this, "movements organized by a network of ordinary citizens, inspired by an issue."

And from what I have read this morning, it appears that the California Republican Party has paid for the rented hotel room, the signs, a Web site, which features talking points, and suggested form letters to send to local newspapers. So we’re talking about Republican grass here…

Despite its ties to the Republican Party, “Go For It Arnold” said its message will be nonpartisan and aimed at every Californian. Does anybody see any difficulty with taking Republican money and remaining nonpartisan? That will take some acting ability!
