Press Conference & Rally for the People’s Budget Fix

Nazi Schwarzenegger restored funding for a new death row at San Quentin with this horrifying budget that cuts the social services and education needed by the workingclass. Both the Democratic and Republican Parties are death penalty parties; the Green Party and all socialist parties like Peace & Freedom are anti-death penalty parties. Barbaric USA stands in stark contrast to the countries that have abolished the death penalty, namely all of Europe, most of Latin America including Mexico, South Africa, Ivory Coast and many more. The death penalty is first and foremost a class weapon of terror by the ruling class against the workingclass and in the USA it is also a racist weapon against non-whites, mostly African-Americans, another legacy of slavery. Here is the article on this stiniking, rotten, garbage, barbaric cesspool of a country's promotion of the death penalty:

Pertinent paragraphs:
"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has given the go-ahead for construction of a new Death Row at San Quentin State Prison by vetoing legislative restrictions, an action that a Marin County lawmaker called both unwise and illegal."

"While announcing $489 million in cuts Tuesday from the state's 2009-10 budget, Schwarzenegger said he was saving additional, unspecified amounts by rejecting language added to the budget that would have delayed the Death Row project."

"Legislators approved $356 million last year for a 768-cell housing unit for condemned prisoners, tentatively scheduled to open in late 2011. It would replace a section of the 150-year-old prison that now holds nearly 670 inmates, the nation's largest Death Row."

"In a critical June 2008 report, the state auditor's office predicted a $39 million cost overrun and questioned the state's plans to place two inmates in each cell."
