Open Letter to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger...

Dear Honorable Governor of California...

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU??? Closing California State Parks is treasonous...you need to resign...and take Rob Lowe with you....

NEARLY a half-million people paid day-use and camping fees last year at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, with revenue at the park totaling almost $3 million — more than half of the income for the entire Monterey District of the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
But the district loses a lot of money every year, and that’s why Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is one of 220 California state parks that could be closed under budget cuts proposed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Have you ever driven through Big Sur? Stopped at the parks..marveled at the history, the beauty? No? Well, why not? Do they have parks in Austria you Nazi piece of shit??? Are you insane? Do you have steroids on the brain? Closing Carpinteria State Park is another example of your piss poor leadership as governor? Would it kill you to raise a tax fer chrissakes..just DO IT..FUCK THE CONSERVATIVES..they are a bunch of pussies anyway..leave the parks alone....keep them open, reduce wasteful staff who cut down non-native trees, just keep the normal rangers/attendants..
History
President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill to make Yellowstone the first National Park and President Roosevelt promoted conservation for a good reason..so Americans could enjoy nature during vacations..
so did Woody Guthrie
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

When Theodore Roosevelt stepped off the train in the Dakota Territory for the first time, he was in search of adventure. The date was 08 Sep 1883, and the town that slept at 2:00 am was Little Missouri, a shoddy collection of buildings on the west bank of the river. The 24-year-old Roosevelt was bursting with anticipation about shooting a bison. A feat the took him 10 days to accomplish. Before returning to New York, just two weeks after he arrived, he entered into a partnership to raise cattle on the Maltese Cross Ranch. The next year he returned to the badlands and started a second open-range ranch, the Elkhorn. Theodore Roosevelt returned again over the next few years to live the life of a cowboy, explore, invigorate his body and to have the Little Missouri Badlands renew his spirit. Theodore Roosevelt wrote: "I would not have been President, had it not been for my experience in North Dakota."
Today, the colorful North Dakota badlands provides the scenic backdrop to the park which memorializes the 26th president for his enduring contributions to the conservation of our nation's resources. The area was first established as a Memorial Park in 1947. It gained National Park status in 1978. The Little Missouri River has shaped this 70,448-acre park which is home to a variety of plants and animals.
Big Sur..Big Carp

The Governor is representing "the people" and the people spoke at the special election. Who needs a park when you can live on Rancho Monte Allegre. And, if you cannot well at least you can dream.
