One of Mr. Schwarzenegger's staff called me again and requested I attend their bus tour and rally in Arcadia at the Los Angeles Aboretum, at 7:30 a.m. At the rally, in order to pass the time before the speakers appeared, we distributed about 500 "Post the Finances" bumper stickers.

The stickers are available, one per request, limited supply, from postthefinances.com by emailing us at bumpersticker@postthefinances.com Mr. Schwarzenegger supports this idea.

He wants to open up the State's books and conduct a thorough audit of the State. But of course the main reason we were there was not to distribute stickers but to hear Arnold.

The first of many speakers was the beautiful actress Tia Carrera, who sang Arnold’s praises. Tia is from Hawaii and has acted in many movies, including "True Lies" with Arnold. She also played Mike Myers' girlfriend Cassandra in "Wayne's World". Many other speakers built up a convincing case as to why Arnold should be the next governor of California. Finally, Arnold himself spoke, inspiring his supporters to keep up their efforts until polling day.

After Arnold's speech, I met Darrel Issa again and gave him a "Post the Finances" bumper sticker.

I also met Linda S. Boyd, Chairman of the Republican Party Los Angeles County. Linda won a hotly-contested race for chairman in January. She has since proved a dynamic leader and organizer and is in the process of revitalizing the Republican Party in Los Angeles County.

Linda and I spoke about the Post the Finances initiative, and she loved the idea. I mentioned I'd receive the petitions this coming week as the initiative enters its third phase. She gave me Alan Smith's name and telephone number and asked me to bring some petitions forms down to the office to leave them there for signatures.
