Schwarzenegger: Keep California great. Invest in our Golden State. Visit BuyCaliforniaBonds.com.

Institutional investors will also be able to buy in on the four-billion-dollar sale.  It's borrowing that's done every year to help the state pay bills.

State officials have been saying for over a week that the uncertainty in credit markets has drastically affected their ability to borrow money.

Schwarzenegger has already warned Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson if the state can't borrow up to seven-billion dollars, he will turn to the federal government for a loan.
