In Their Own Words...

Small business choice for Governor is Meg Whitman
By John Kabateck, California Executive Director, National Federation of Read Meg's Road Map
Independent Business
For Creating Jobs
The nonpartisan National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Save
America's Free Enterprise Trust announced its endorsement of Meg
Whitman for Governor. NFIB made this endorsement after balloting our
nearly 20,000 members about which candidate we should support for
Governor - and the choice was clear.

Meg is the only candidate who has run a business, created jobs for
California and signed the front of a check. She has the track record,
commitment and vision that we know will transform today's Sacramento
mindset from heaping huge new burdens upon Main Street to one that
will finally provide struggling small businesses the incentives and support
they so desperately need.

Meg believes innovation and entrepreneurship should be encouraged, not

penalized. She recognizes that small businesses are the backbone of our
economy and as Governor, she will make certain California government
gets out of the way of small businesses and creates the conditions for
them to thrive.

has not created jobs - instead, he increased the size of government and
the deficit when he was governor last time. To download a pdf, click here.

We should point out that both candidates were invited multiple times to
speak to and meet with members of NFIB. Meg met with our members
while Brown declined on two separate occasions. In addition, Brown did
not return his candidate questionnaire to NFIB while Meg did. Is anyone
else wondering what he's trying to hide?...more

Focus: A New California

Excited voters greet Meg Whitman in Tuolumne County
From Meg News Channel

Chatter of Meg Whitman’s visit to Tuolumne County began long before

she arrived.

Here in Columbia -- a former Gold Rush town nestled at the foothills of

the Sierras -- voters had been eagerly waiting to meet the candidate for
Governor who they believe isn’t like any other candidate they’ve seen

before. Office Near You!
And when Meg visited Tuolumne County on Labor Day weekend, voters
said they weren’t disappointed. She was everything they hoped their next
Governor might be – personable, driven and passionate about changing
the direction of this state.

“We wanted to come and meet Meg because I’m really excited about her
chances and I’m excited about what she can do for the state,” said Carey
Haughy of Columbia. “Our county’s a small county, and we’re honored to
have her here.”

Meg’s visit to Columbia was just another step in her ongoing effort to
meet voters in every corner of this state – Tuolumne County was the EAST L.A. OFFICE
