letter of governor stated reason to veto sb 1322

BILL NUMBER: SB 1322


VETOED DATE: 09/29/2008









To the Members of the California State Senate:



I am returning Senate Bill 1322 without my signature.



Many Californians have fled communist regimes, immigrated to the

United States and sought freedom in our nation because of the human

rights abuses perpetuated in other parts of the world. It is

important particularly for those people that California maintains the

protections of current law. Therefore, I see no compelling reason

to change the law that maintains our responsibility to ensure that

public resources are not used for purposes of overthrowing the U.S.

or state government, or for communist activities.



For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.



Sincerely,







Arnold Schwarzenegger
