What Went Wrong Regarding the Yes on 87 Proposition?

Please join my Credit Card Protest at DAILY-PROTEST.com

I predicted todays economic woes over two years ago, and I predicted it would be
the credit card industry that would lead the way.

I believe the No on 87 campaign repeatedly strayed from the truth both in print
and with several of their No on 87 television commercials.

Perhaps we have become too accepting of dishonesty in political commercials and
have just shucked it off as "that's just the way things are done".

Do I sound naive because I think political commercials should not contain lies?
Ignoring lies from political advertisers in my opinion empowers those who lie
and win to repeat their unnacceptable behavior over and over.

Did the No Side Misrepresent Opinion as Fact, Did the No Side Lie in Their
Commericals or in Print?

It is my opinion that many of the No on 87 commercials restated opinions as
fact. It is also my opinion that when a politician or political group trys to
convince the voting public to vote in a certain manner by stating an opinion as
a fact, they have lied and need to be held accountable.

The No side had a 100 million dollar budget and that should been enough money to
learn what constituted a lie and what did not before spending 85% of their
budget on commercials.

Here is one print example of what I believe to be a Lie by the No Side. No on 87
claimed that NONE of the Proposition 87 money would go for education.

Did you know that over 600 million dollars of Prop 87 funding was earmarked for
colleges so they could research alternative energy resources technology? Did you
know that Prop 87 was going to spend millions more taking older, smoke belching
school buses off the road and replace them with newer, safer, cleaner running
buses! Is it not a complete and utter lie to say that none of the money from
Prop 87 would go towards public education when OVER 3/4's OF A BILLION DOLLARS
WAS ACTUALLY BUDGETED for educational purposes?

I believe I can prove Proposition 87's campaign tactic of spinning opinion into
fact by pointing out several examples of lies that were contained in their own
commericals and in their printed statements.

I am advocating a lawsuit against the "No on 87" side that requests a FULL
REFUND of all the money that was donated to the Yes on 87 campaign. I'm not
advocating litigation against the individual contributors to the No side, but
rather against the big corporations on the No side that ramrodded all of the
publically stated inaccuracies down the public's throat via both television
commercials and in print.


  You can Help Make a Difference!

If you know anything at all about the Behind the Scenes activities for either
the Yes on 87 or the No on 87 side and want to share that information with me, I
will not knowingly share who you are without your permission.

On the Yes side, I am surprised that apparently no money was budgeted for after
the election. All the momentum built up by Proposition 87 in my opinion is being
shredded by the premature shut down of the yeson87.org website. Redirecting the
yeson87.org website to a privately held website cannot be ethical, can it?

That is why I started this website, yes-on-87.org, to find out what is going on.

Did you know that the Yes on 87 headquarters lease was set to expire the day
after the election, and that this was apparently decided well in advance of the
vote! How far in advance was this decided? Win or Lose, why shut down the office
the day after the election? Perhaps there is a law that mandates all monies must
be spent by the day of the election; otherwise, keeping the offices open for an
additional month or two is an obvious no–brainer, and that I state as both an
opinion that can also double as a proveable fact!

The very day after the election, the yeson87 phone number was back in the hands
of a private individual, (a month later it was disconnected). If Proposition 87
had won, would the website and phone numbers have been disconnected as quickly?
How far in advance did the Yes on 87 people decide to disconnect the website and
phone numbers immediately after the vote? If Proposition 87 had won, surely the
phone number and website would have remained active, yet it appears that
somebody decided well in advance of the election date to shut down both the
telephone and the website the day after the election.

Any insider information regarding the "No on 87" side might prove helpful. Were
any of the spokespeople who appeared in the No on 87 commercials compensated?
Since the "common man, common woman" approach was used in many of the No on 87
commercials were these spokepersons compensated without mentioning that fact in
the ad?

How can we allow political advertisements to not clearly mention in text and
voice that the spokesperson or the organization they represent has been
compensated? This is basic ethics 101 that is not being followed by California
and their voting guidelines. Compensated , Is that such a difficult word to
superimpose onto the television screen during a television commercial that uses
official leaders of groups and organizations to defeat or support a ballot
measure?

Additionally, when the head of any group or organization states they support or
don't support a proposition, has there actually been a vote by the general
membership that can be referred by the voting public so they can at least know
what voting percentage supports or opposes a ballot measure?
