Preserve your rights as a mobile home park resident and and help your fellow mobile home residents throughout California. Several bills are currently on the Governor’s desk awaiting signature. Your voice is urgently needed to help ensure the Governor signs these bills into law! Last year, many bills passed the State Senate and Assembly by an overwhelming majority, yet they were vetoed by the Governor because he does not understand the unique situation of mobile home owners.
Homeowners are urged to write the Governor requesting that he sign these bills. Your letters will have more impact if a separate letter is sent for each bill, rather than one letter listing all of these bills. It is a common practice in politics to simply look at the size of the stack of letters, rather than their substance.
The GSMOL Mobilizer contains sample letters. Send your letters of support to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, State Capitol, Sacramento, CA 95814.
