I sent the following email to both the Steve Westly and Phil Angelides for Governor campaigns on May 23, 2006. For some reason, I am compelled to share this email at this time.

Greetings!

I am a registered “Decline to State” voter for I have yet to commit myself to a political party.

After returning from UC Merced to Los Angeles to spend the week with my family and friends, I have had an opportunity to watch both of your television ads.

Both of your ads, with respect to your opponent, are counter-productive and detrimental to your respective candidacy and the Democratic Party in general.

I would highly encourage each of your campaigns to stop airing negative political ads and focus on the issues at hand because personally I am not persuaded by a negative ad and I expect many other Californians, and younger voters in general, are not.

Frankly, your negative ads add to the political apathy of our state and this is of great concern to me because for our state to best confront today’s problems, we need tomorrow’s change agents participating in the political decision making process.

However, deficit politics is prevalent throughout the state and it ruptures during the campaign season, a time in which more people should be engaged and included in the politics but they are turned off by such negative tactics.

More people can be actively involved and it should be the responsibility of candidates to help ensure that.

I would hope that with the millions of dollars your campaigns have, you would work towards practicing new politics a politics that better engages, educates and empowers the public and younger people more specifically.

I sincerely recommend that you change your campaign tactics for the good of politics in California.

For in the final analysis, the Golden State needs to return to a position of political national and global prominence because we are experiencing the economic, environmental, political and and social problems that much of the nation will be facing in the future and the globe is already facing now.

The state’s return to such prominence is dependent largely on the actions of those who lead it.

Best regards,
Josh Franco
