Senate Republicans are doing the right thing. They are standing tall for fiscal responsibility. As FR Central Valley Correspondent Mike Der Manouel said so well earlier today, holding out for fiscal 
sanity in our state’s spending plan is something that Republicans should have been doing every year since 1999. So we applaud them for their efforts.
The California Democratic Party has actually tried from afar to start up a recall effort against one Senate Republican, Jeff Denham, for having the audacity to stand up for working California families who expect state government to live within its means.
Well, Senator Denham isn’t taking this threat, however incredulous, lying down. A new website has been launched, www.joinwithjeff.com, where you can go to voice your support for Denham. The Friends of Jeff Denham Against The Recall have launched a television spot across his district, which you can watch below, and you can listen to a radio spot that they put together by clicking here.
Perhaps the seriousness with which Denham is taking this matter will resonate with Governor Schwarzenegger, and help him to understand that Democrats are trying to use this budget impasse for partisan gain, that that his barnstorming around California stoking the fires of discontent in the districts of his fellow Republicans is tantamount to aiding and abetting the enemy.

you’re right jon, it’s for partisan gain
Federal Democrats pulled the same stunt in the house for partisan gain, and tremendous fiscal gain by putting the ammendment for removing the troops into the defense appropriations bill.
At any time they could introduce a “concurrent resolution” to withdraw the troops. A concurrent resolution is part of the War Powers Act of 1973, and is not subject to presidential veto, in congressional decisions over troop withdrawal matters.
