Can we do this? This issue is worth as much time as it will take to get it stopped.
I don't know. I resorted to sending some emails using the most general of words and phrases (i.e. I OPPOSE because... ill-conceived; inadequately defined; out-of-touch with the California citizenry; etc.).
A few catch phrases would have been helpful to sound more knowledgeable ... but some voice of opposition is better than none, I assume.
The hearings are Wednesday, so opposition via email and phone seems like the only options.
Here are links to state representatives (w/ email/contact info).

Any new information on the hearing?
Is there anyone on the forum that can take a leadership position on this issue? If we can divide up the work we can do a lot to help organize an educated citizen base, but we will need someone to watch the bill and the legislature and post or email updates.
I would be willing to go to Sacramento to talk to legislators directly-- there are a few things we can do, and they may work, its just not going to be quick or easy.
