The California initiative process is a way the people can go over the head of the legislature (who THEY ELECTED, remember) when it becomes necessary. Would you prefer Schwarzenegger had said "FUCK what the people want"?
Schwarzenegger made the right call on this one, IMHO. Your beef should be with the majority of California voters who already said "No, we do not want to allow this." Schwarzenegger is just respecting their expressed will.
Unless, of course, you think your governor and legislature should feel free to ignore your expressed will. (Which most of them do anyway.)
