A friend mentioned a pretty cool tool to me the other day, Cause Caller. Basically, it allows you to set up a wiki page that gives a user information about the cause and then helps with calling. It will call you and then call the office of a public official. Saves time and money, and gets people involved in their government. It's a really cool system.

So, I give to you the Save California: Really Fix the Budget Cause Caller.  It's backbone is a wiki page, so if you want to change something about it, just sign up for an account and do so. Call the Governor, or the legislative leaders. Want to add your legislator? Just sign up for the wiki and load them on there. It was getting a bit time consuming to load all those legislators, so I just went with the leaders so far.

Vote against this and the Republicans will come after you during your next campaign for being 'anti-religion', 'persecuting Christians', 'godless', or 'amoral'.

What's a legislator to do?

(Imho, stick with the Constitution, which is what you were elected to defend. You were not elected to defend religion.)
