A Message from Meg October 1, 2010

We're in the home stretch in a very important race for the

future of our state and, with your help, we are going to retire
Jerry Brown.

Since day one, I've never wavered in my commitment to

Californians. I firmly believe we can make California the best
place to go to school, raise a family, build a career and play in
happy retirement. Click here to see more photos.
This election is a battle for the soul of California. I’ve created
thousands of jobs for Californians and I have the skill set to
shape up our government and get Californians back to work. In
contrast, Jerry Brown is espousing the same old, tired ideas he
has for the past 40 years. It’s time we move California forward.

So I'm asking for your help. I urge you to do whatever you can
to help get my message out, to recruit your friends and family,
and most importantly, to vote for me.

On Monday, absentee ballots are being dropped in the mail in

many places. Please look out for your ballot. And if you still
need to register to vote, you have until October 18. Click here
for voter information.

This week, I highlighted innovation and education. In San Jose,

I visited Cisco Systems, a worldwide leader in computer
networking. Using state-of-the-art videoconferencing, I spoke
to about 1,000 Cisco employees at various office
locations about my plan to create jobs and use technology to
make government more efficient.

Also this week, along with many concerned Californians, I

watched "Waiting for 'Superman'" -- a sobering new

documentary that exposes our crumbling public school system. For Creating Jobs
I recommend that every parent of a school-aged child in
California see the movie -- I believe it will inspire people to
work together across party lines to bring about real education
reform. Click here to read my education plan. Without good
schools, California can't hope to remain the innovation engine.

I don’t know about you, but this week also galvanized my

resolve to end politics as usual. This campaign has always been
about putting people back to work and fixing our broken
government. And in the final sprint to Election Day, I am going
to keep offering Californians real answers to our serious
problems. That's how I've run my campaign, and I promise you
-- it's how I'll run our state if you give me the chance.

I'm looking forward to my second debate with Jerry Brown on

Saturday in Fresno. It was a great experience debating him
Tuesday night. Californians have a real choice in this election.
Saturday will be another opportunity for Californians to
compare and contrast our candidacies.
