  <blurb>My fellow Californians, don&amp;#39;t just wish for change to happen, be the change you want to see in the world. Let&amp;#39;s rebuild the Golden State together.

Broken schools. Broken roads. Broken budget. This used to be a state where dreams came true. Millions came to California looking to build a better future for themselves and their families. Now our state stands at the crossroads, mired in political turmoil and economic gloom. We deserve better. Now I know many of you, like myself, have lost a lot of faith in the system. So I&amp;#39;m asking you to join me in &amp;#39;bucking&amp;#39; the system. 

We can&amp;#39;t afford to go backwards. We can&amp;#39;t afford to keep the status quo. California deserves better. We need to look forward, and work together, to build the state we want; to realize our California dream and revive the promise.

Gavin Newsom has a proven track record of results. As Mayor of San Francisco, his leadership has provided an effective and realistic opportunity for all San Franciscans to have access to affordable, quality health care. While Sacramento politicians bargain and compromise to fill an unprecedented budget deficit, proposing deep cuts, tax increases and layoffs, Gavin Newsom has protected jobs and balanced San Francisco&amp;#39;s books. This is the kind of leadership we need right now in California. We simply can&amp;#39;t afford more of the same. It&amp;#39;s time to take California forward with Gavin Newsom.

I need you to join me in this effort. Make your voices heard. Your support is vital to California&amp;#39;s recovery. Take this opportunity and join me today in donating to this movement. We need Gavin Newsom because we deserve a better California.&lt;br /&gt;</blurb>
