$64 MILLION!! That’s a lot of cash.  As California suffers from the worst economic environment since the Great Depression, can you think of a few things CA could use that money towards?  Well, the California Democratic Party can:

Help EBYD stop Queen Meg from buying California and support Jerry Brown for Governor!

And just for fun… a little nostalgia…

This 12-minute video from 60-Minutes is a good, albeit brief, exploration of the crisis with an interview of the governator.
