The short explanation of this alert was:

When drug companies and corporations buy politicians, patients and consumers pay the price. That's exactly what's happening today in Governor Schwarzenegger's California. 
 
Drug companies nationwide are leading the charge to raise nearly $100 million to back Schwarzenegger's "special" election this November, because they're hoping to profit in California by re-writing healthcare policy to serve their corporate bottom line. 
 
What will this special election do? Give Schwarzenegger the power to unilaterally slash public healthcare and social services budgets and another one to block support for low-income people to pay for their prescription drugs. To top it off, they're pushing a proposal to silence the voices of Registered Nurses and other public workers in healthcare and political debates.
 
If they get their way, we'll see fewer laws protecting patients and consumers, greater political influence by corporate interests, a chronically underfunded public health system, and cutbacks in education, public safety, and other government services. 
 
And who's financing this all? Our own medicine cabinets: Listerine, Propecia, and Mylanta, manufactured by major Schwarzenegger funders Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Johnson & Johnson.
 
As RNs on the front-line of medicine, we know this is a dangerous threat to everyone's health. It breaks our heart to see our patients leave--and then suffer without proper prescriptions or follow-up care they can't afford.  We must stop Schwarzenegger's corporate takeover here, now, and forever.
 
We need your help to send Governor Schwarzenegger and his corporate pharmaceutical donors a message: "Stop using drug company money to attack consumers in this special election."  Protect patients not profits.
 
Sign this petition today and help us get 100,000 people in California and across the country to fight back.  We will march the names into the Governor's office--and send them on so the drug company CEOs know their consumers are watching closely.
 
Sign your name today!
