Trestles isn't the only place in California worth saving!! California's state parks are UNDER ATTACK by the Governator!
Arnold recently announced plans to TERMINATE our access to 220 of California's 279 unique and diverse state parks in order to remedy the state's budget crisis. There have gotta be better ways to trim the fat than by denying millions of Californians the enjoyment of these hallowed grounds*.
*this includes Gaviota State Park, a place of utmost importance to all of us here at PizzaTime


For the entire list of slated closures, visit the following link: http://www.calparks.org/takeaction/closurelist.html
We must act fast and furiously about this issue. Tomorrow the Legislature's Budget Conference Committee will hear public testimony on the proposal to eliminate state funding and close 220 of our parks. However, reliable sources close to PizzaTime have informed us that the decision will be made and
gates will be locked within 2-4 weeks' time. This time around sweet drum circles, 3-day jam-band festivals, or donating your 2-foot dreadlocks won't be enough to make an impact. We need to send so many angry letters that Arnie is hospitalized from f*ing papercuts!!
Your local stomping grounds are likely to be under the chopping block, so take action by visiting the CA State Parks Foundation website and follow their simple instructions for contacting your local, state, and federal representatives: http://ga3.org/calparks/parkclosures_takeaction.html
*If Gaviota State Park means anything to you or anyone you love, I am urging you write a letter, story, blog post, song, haiku, limerick etc. about it and send it to the following people:
