You know that recall Denham thing? Never mind. I just got an update from the Capitol morning report saying the following:

Pro Tem Don Perata announces end to recall campaign for Sen. Jeff Denham at 5 p.m. on North Steps.

More will surely follow.

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.

The Yes on the Recall Campaign has a new ad up talking about Sen. Jeff Denham's little pay hike scam. You know, where he told the media that he was rejecting pay hikes, only to quietly accept them a few months later.  Pretty sweet deal. All the fun of the press coverage without all the problems of actually getting less money.

Also in the Denham recall race, Simon Salinas has launched his website. It's not going to win any awards or anything, but it's got some good info on there.
