We're counting on Governor Schwarzenegger to stand up for California against special interests from out of state.

SB 974 would save lives in California. For too long, international trade has been subsidized by the lives and lungs of Californians. Every year 3,700 Californians die prematurely from ports and freight transportation pollution.

California wants cleaner ports and investments that fix traffic clogged intersections. The state legislature has passed SB 974, and polls by the Public Policy Institute of California show that a large majority of Californians support it.

"The governor is committed to doing what's best for Californians," said Schwarzenegger's spokesperson in the LA Times article. We're counting on it! The Governor must put California first, not out-of-state special interests like Alaska's Governor, the Bank of Hawaii, the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and the Washington State Potato Commission.
