Dear Friend,
Who do Cruz Bustamante and the opponents of Proposition 54 think they are kidding?
Do they think we are all idiots and will believe their lies that Proposition 54 will affect anyones health?
All you have to do is read clause (f) of Proposition 54. It states: Otherwise lawful classification of medical research subjects and patients shall be exempt from this section.
Last time I checked, cancer, AIDS, diabetes, and heart disease were all medical subjects.
What is really behind this ridiculous opposition to Proposition 54 is an opposition to basic fairness. Those who want to defeat Proposition 54 still want to give preferences based on group identity.
Does Cruz the Snooze believe we are too stupid to figure this out?
Cruz and his cronies want a fragmented California where benefits are handed out based on race, skin color or ethnicity instead of individual merit. He would give drivers licenses to illegals. He supports segregated graduation ceremonies at the University of California. He refuses to renounce his ties to a racially separatist organization. Cruz Bustamante rejects the color-blind ideal that America has been striving for so many years.
Cruz has taken Indian tribe gambling money and illegally spent it to further his run for Governor by airing TV ads (featuring himself) to oppose Proposition 54. In these ads, Cruz rolls out his health-scare tactics to slam Proposition 54. Even after a judge ruled Cruzs funding of these ads was illegal, Cruz continued to air them. Cruz doesnt care about the future of California. He doesnt care about health care. Cruz cares about getting Cruz elected.
Those of us who support Proposition 54 are opposed to race preferences and having the government play favorites on the basis of race. We are offended by these stupid racial check boxes on government forms. At birth, when we apply for a home loan, when children enroll in school, when they participate in 4H clubs, when the CHP stops us, when someone applies to college, when we die, there is always one of those forms with a bunch of boxes where they ask for our race. RACE, RACE, RACE
Im tired of bureaucrats trying to socially engineer my life. Thats why I am voting YES ON PROPOSITION 54 and asking you to do the same.
Join me in voting YES ON PROPOSITION 54, and please forward this email to all of your friends and email lists.
Sincerely,
e-signature of Ward Connerly (not transferrable in this format

I bet Ward has mixed feelings about the $1,000 he just contributed to Arnold's campaign. I bet he doesn't. (grin) There isn't much Ward is vague or compromised about. He's a pretty straightforward kinda guy!

Thank YOU! I'll see if I can't just cross-match the funds between recall and no-on-54...

Well I wouldn't be too happy about giving a $1,000 to a guy that flat out doesn't support my ballot on national TV. But maybe $1,000 doesn't matter that much if you are rich enough.
To: Alia
The public has backed initiatives opposed by our elite media and liberal establishment. Californians have a reputation for being liberal but they're also very contrarian on public policy! Go figure...

I think the operative word is indeed "contrarian". Elsewhere in the nation they call us fruits, flakes, and nuts. But "contrarian" is a very polite way of saying... we still live in the psycho-social era of the old west, brawling all the time...
