The governor wielded his veto pen against a measure that would have eliminated 
references in state law to communism as cause for dismissal of school, community 
college and other public employees.

"Many Californians have fled Communist regimes, immigrated to the United States 
and sought freedom in our nation because of the human rights abuses perpetuated 
in other parts of the world," Schwarzenegger said in his veto message. "It is 
important particularly for those people that California maintains the 
protections of current law.

"Therefore," his message said, "I see no compelling reason to change the law 
that maintains our responsibility to ensure that public resources are not used 
for purposes of overthrowing the U.S. or state government, or for communist 
activities."

The bill, SB 1322, was written by Sen. Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach), who could 
not be reached for comment.
