Draft budget resolution:

WHEAREAS the federal budget impasse in Washington D.C. has added to the budget
woes of the California State Government in Sacramento,

WHEAREAS the budget woes in Sacramento have had a harmful effect on the
budgets of counties, cities, and districts throughout the state of 
California,

WHEAREAS solutions exist to these problems which have been ignored,

WHEAREAS one such solution is the attached draft U.S. Budget which 
contributes more than $16,000,000,000 per year in cost savings to
California's state government,

WHEAREAS this same draft U.S. budget offers California counties, cities,
and districts the opportunity to offload portions of their healthcare
burden and healthcare portions of their workers' compensation burden
while improving healthcare for their staffs,

WHEREAS this same draft U.S. budget contains provisions that some might
consider onerous and unacceptable but also produces a federal surplus of
more than a third of a trillion dollars this year leaving ample room for
negotiation and phasing,

NOW, THEREFORE, the [entity] does hereby request Governor Jerry Brown
to consider this draft U.S. budget, to add his support to it, to solicit
support from his fellow governors, and to present a unified demand from
all the states to Congress to adopt this U.S. budget.

ADOPTED this ___ day of 2011, by [entity]
