Fight for a Healthy Budget for California
The governor's latest proposed budget contains severe cuts that will devastate millions of poor and middle-class Californians, shred the safety net and stunt California's economic recovery. As Democrats, we stand firmly against the severity of the cuts and we will do everything possible to minimize the cuts and the harm they will inflict. Join the California Democratic Party in telling lawmakers that we must Protect All Californians, Stop the Severe Cuts and Support a Balanced Solution!

California Demands Real Budget Solutions
Responding to California's budget crisis with an all-cuts budget will only make the state's problems worse. Deep cuts to vital programs undermine our economic recovery and President Obama's investment in economic stimulus, disproportionately harm the most vulnerable Californians, and go against our core values. The Santa Clara County Democratic Party will stand behind our Democratic legislators as its fights for a sensible budget that includes reasonable revenue increases and protect important programs. Read SCCDP's Resolution on the budget.
