The line is busy!
Keep trying! It took me several minutes, but I finally got through.
Everyone please do keep trying. You should be able to get through, but it might take a few tries.
If you don't get through today, calling later this week will not be too late. Your call will still get counted.
Best,
Jay, EQCA
got through!
Not to belittle the cause here, but I think "his office" has some other things to worry about right now.

Jct: There’s nothing wrong with small denomination California State IOUs if I or anyone else can pay their taxes with them. When Argentina’s government workers were faced with cuts, their unions talked 6 state governments into paying them with small-denomination state bonds which could be used to pay for state services and taxes and which everyone accepted as useful currency. Best of all, when the local currency is pegged to the Time Standard of Money (how many dollars per unskilled hour child labor) Hours earned locally can be intertraded with other timebanks globally! In 1999, I paid for 39/40 nights in Europe with an IOU for a night back in Canada worth 5 Hours.
U.N. Millennium Declaration UNILETS Resolution C6 to governments is for a time-based currency to restructure the global financial architecture. See my banking systems engineering analysis at http://youtube.com/kingofthepaupers
Too bad California State IOUs won’t be accepted in payment for state taxes and services like state bonds were in Argentina. Too bad California State IOUs will be denominated too big to use as local currency. Too bad Argentina people were smart enough to avoid the tent-cities catastrophe and California people are too stupid to follow their example.
The Spanish recording does not give the option to leave a message...
Why dont we put the effort into campaigning to overturn Prop. 8 and not Looking for another state holiday. I am straight, voted no on 8 but will also vote no for this "holiday". No on 8 supporters were clearly outworked last november at least in my area. We must concentrate our efforts on the issue at hand and that is overturning 8.
To anonymous, this would not be another state holiday, but a non-fiscal day of commemoration. No one would get the day off.
I think there are many issues at hand that are important to members of our community, including honoring and remembering our heroes.
We can't let our opponents intimidate elected officials into vetoing pro-LGBT legislation.
