Another Warren Beatty sighting
This should have Ezra excited:
Warren Beatty, an outspoken critic of the governor, and Rob Reiner are working with groups opposing the governor's agenda to campaign against his initiatives. Both are actors and directors who have long supported Democratic causes.
Beatty has taped a radio ad for the California Nurses Association that calls on voters to turn out next week and turn down Schwarzenegger's "year of reform" initiatives.

Beatty said he believes the special election has been orchestrated by the governor and his supporters so that most voters will not participate and give Republicans a better chance of passing their agenda.
"To me, it's a misuse of the initiative process," Beatty told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "It's a clear device to circumvent the Legislature and spend a lot of money on oversimplified descriptions of these propositions and hope that the Trojan horses, (which) each of these are, will deceive a bored and not well-enough-informed public into staying home or vote in a way that is against their own best interest."
Here's hoping people like Beatty can get enough people out to vote against initiatives that California doesn't want or need. You can do your part to help here.
