California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is asking for public opinion on the Harvey Milk Day bill (SB 572) which would honor the slain gay rights hero. Last year the governor under conservative pressure vetoed the bill and is facing similar pressure and scrutiny from the religious right.
Please call the Governors office and follow the automated message to show support 916-445-2841
The governor has also requested people contact him with their opinions via twitter.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Seeks Input on Harvey Milk Day
Monday, July 13, 2009
Tell the Governor Harvey Milk Matters
Sign the petition to Governor Schwarzenegger urging him to sign the legislation making May 22 “Harvey Milk Day” in the State of California.
Last year, Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill, saying that Milk was a figure of only local significance.
Harvey Milk was—and still is—an inspiration not only as one of the first openly gay men elected to office, but as a trail blazer who understood the value of working with allies, the importance of living our lives openly with authenticity and the power that our stories have to change hearts and minds.
Make sure the Governor knows how important Harvey is to all Californians. Sign the petition above and call the governors office. It is automated, and you don't need to speak to anyone to voice your opinion!
Phone: 916-445-2841
Press 1 for English, press 2 to voice your opinion, press 1 for the Harvey Milk bill, press 1 to show support for the bill.

Californians from Los Angeles and Sacramento will rally against Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed plan to slash funding for HIV/AIDS programs by the state. The plan will result in the loss of several programs and could bring about the loss of thousands of lives.
