Well...I don't live in California anymore so I don't have a dog in the fight...bui your comment about replacing everyone rings a bell.

In New York they have a guy running from the Rent is to Damn High party. I would not mind seeing a party created called the Vote out the Incumbents Party.

some good counter-points to prop 19

Quote:

If Proposition 19 passes, California employers will no longer be eligible to receive federal government grants or contracts greater than $100,000. This includes any California businesses, governments and educational institutions that receive federal money. This will drive up California's unemployment even higher than the current rate of 2.2 million.
(41 U.S.C. sub sec 701-707).

public school superintendent John Snavely, Ed.D. warns that Proposition 19 could cost our K-12 schools as much as $9.4 billion in lost federal funding as well as the loss of millions of dollars in federal grants for our state colleges and universities.

If passed, would allow licensed marijuana dealers to advertise without restriction near schools, just like cigarette companies. This is made possible by a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2001 entitled Lorillard Tobacco Co. v. Reilly (US Sup. Ct., Opinion per OConnor) which struck down as unconstitutional a Massachusetts statute which banned tobacco ads within 1000 feet of a school or playground.

Supporters say that taxing marijuana once it is made legal will reduce the state deficit. But, marijuana sales are illegal under federal law and the United States Supreme Court has ruled that sellers may refuse to pay the tax. Further, all taxing and regulatory authority is left to the cities, not the state.

According to an analysis released by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, a California employer will no longer be able to: "screen job applicants for marijuana use; regulate any employee conduct related to the use, transportation or cultivation of marijuana unless the employer can prove job impairment; or choose to maintain a drug-free workplace consistent with federal law."

summary: jobs lost, no new tax monies added, fed dollars lost.

I believe that there is a 2 term limit and Brown served his 2 terms before that was a law and is exempt

Jerry Brown has been our governor and as an example of what a crappy governor he was, he put Rose Bird on the CA Supreme Court, where they proceeded to overturn 60+ death penalty cases.

Bird was the first Supreme Court justice to be voted out of her position.

As Atty General he refuses to do his job, simply because he does not believe in the cause. That is bullshit. A lawyer must do their job whether they believe in their client or not.

All good points. Thank you for sharing. Having been born in 1983, Jerry's tenure was a bit before my time.

And that is the problem, people do not know, don't remember or just don't care.

I accept partial responsibility as I was a Brown fanatic the first time around. I need to make amends for my sins.
