Capitol Alert

In Sen. Jeff Denham's first TV ad since the effort to recall him qualified for the ballot, former Secretary of State Bill Jones makes the case that the recall is "just plain wrong."

Jones, with the state Capitol in the background, speaks directly to voters saying the recall "was launched against Sen. Jeff Denham for one reason only," citing last summer's budget vote.

Here's the full script of the ad, with the video posted below:

The recall was launched against Sen. Jeff Denham for one reason only.

He refused to vote for a budget billions out of balance. But then the non-partisan Legislative Analyst proved him right, forecasting an additional $10 billion in red ink.

Local newspapers label this recall an "Abuse of the ballot box." (The Monterey County Herald 2/17/2008)

-- a "sham." (The Madera Tribune, 3/21/2008)

"Petty politics" (Hollister Freelance 2/19/2008)

And "Unjustified" (Fresno Bee 3/20/2008)

Saying this recall is "Just plain wrong." (Merced Sun-Star 2/11/2008)

I agree. Vote No on the Recall.
