<\/a><\/p>\nCorporate interests are spending tens of millions of dollars to defeat these two initiatives. And they don’t mind lying and cheating to get what they want. We have to fight this with the simple truth. And with word of mouth. Please pass this email on to all your friends and relatives in California. We’ve got to get out to vote and defeat these guys.<\/p>\n
Here’s the slate of endorsements made by MoveOn members themselves:<\/p>\n
MOVEON MEMBERS
\nCALIFORNIA ENDORSEMENTS
\n(based on member votes)<\/p>\n
NO on Proposition 85:
\nParental Notification for Abortion
\nhttp:\/\/www.noon85.com\/
\nYES on Proposition 86:
\nFund Health Care \/ Cigarette Tax
\nhttp:\/\/www.yesprop86.com\/
\nYES on Proposition 87:
\nClean Energy
\nhttp:\/\/www.yeson87.com\/
\nYES on Proposition 89:
\nClean Money \/ Public Financing
\nhttp:\/\/www.cleanmoneyelections.org\/
\nNO on Proposition 90:
\nRegulatory Takings
\nhttp:\/\/www.noprop90.com\/<\/p>\n
This is a REAL progressive slate. We’ve included a copy of this slate designed for printing and taking to the polls, after this email below. Or go online and check out the endorsements of any public interest organization.<\/p>\n
The fact is, the Democratic Party, every major Democratic leader in the state, and the most prominent Democrats nationally including President Clinton and Vice President Gore all strongly support the Clean Energy Initiative, Proposition 87. Of course, big oil is absolutely determined to kill it.<\/p>\n
And every major civic organization supports the Clean Money initiative, Proposition 89, including Common Cause and the League of Women Voters. You can check out the endorsements in the links for each proposition above.<\/p>\n
Why are big oil and other big money interests working so hard to defeat these progressive initiatives? Because if the truth gets out, they lose. Because if the Clean Money initiative, Proposition 89, passes, they won’t be able to do deceptive mailers like this one. So they’re pulling out all the stops.<\/p>\n
We have to counter their lying with truth. We have to counter their money with passion and word of mouth.<\/p>\n
Please pass this email on to everyone you know.<\/p>\n
And please vote on November 7th.<\/p>\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n
