One idea behind this plan was that all of the ads in California said to call Sacramento to opposed 1058. Now the democrats can claim that they DID oppose 1058. (wink, wink)
The Sierra Club made this a litmus test for dems. They were told that they would be on the Sierra club hit list if they opposed this clone. One democrat house member said that he decided to vote for this bill after SIX calls to the speakers office
So that's what it takes - six phone calls and all of his spine is missing! What a jerk!
