Friends,

My campaign is about creating progress and corruption clean-up working with Governor Schwarzenegger. It's about eliminating the pains caused by the Legislature.

Are you fed up with the California Legislature voting for deficit spending laws that reached $38 billion?

Disappointed with the Legislature voting to triple our car taxes?

Let down by the Assembly's law allowing driver licenses for illegal aliens without reliable identification?

Turned-off with lawmaking driven by special interest campaign donations such as the $6000 one day legislative campaign haul from a single company?

Angered by the Assembly voting to repeal the welfare fraud prevention law on fingerprinting welfare recipients?

Then join my fight to hold the Assembly lawmakers accountable for their painful laws and their corruption!

Just like Arnold, I am an immigrant family-man and businessman. I also persevered to rise from a poor kid's life to success as an Air Force major, National Semiconductor's chief internal auditor and Silicon Valley's Assemblyman and U. S. Congressman.

As Assemblyman I wrote common sense laws such as G.A.I.N., California's workfare program, that returned over 300,000 welfare recipients to real paying jobs.

Next year I'll fight for new state laws to make sure every child learns to read, write and speak English by high school graduation.

I'll fight for a better business climate and the jobs we need. I'll start with repealing existing anti-business, anti-jobs laws that allow frivolous and shake-down law suits.

I'll fight to control state spending and to stop tax rate increases.

I'll fight for Arnold's tough law proposals against Legislative corruption.

I met our Governor and the Assembly's Speaker and Minority Leader. I am an independent thinker ready to work with all of them for progress!

Finally, you can count on my honesty and I integrity because I am not taking special interest campaign dollars.

Vote for Ernie Konnyu. Return me to the State Assembly. See our campaign in detail at <http://www.gokonnyu.com>

Thanks,

Ernie Konnyu
