This measure is mainly for rental housing and uses emotions for Veterans to get your vote. Politicians want $10 Billion for affordable rental housing/homeownership and only $1.25 Billion for veterans’ home purchase assistance. Your tax dollars will be going to subsidize developers without stopping costly mandates. You and your children will have to pay back over $17 Billion with interest! Many of the projects funded by this bond will cost more than $1 Million per unit.

Prop 2 would raise the rainy-day fund cap from 10% to 20% of General Fund tax proceeds and change deposit rules. It creates a new slush fund which comes from your capital gains and income tax revenues. Legislatures can then engage in more wasteful spending and fraud, eliminating any chance for a tax rebate. State Senator Tony Strickland (R) puts it like this. It would be like taking out a new credit card to pay off the old one “while continuing the same reckless spending habits that created the problem in the first place.” He said Democrats are asking taxpayers to bankroll their spending.

This will permanently lock in the “temporary” state income tax from 2012 and allocate the funds from 50% to 89% for K-12 and 11% to community colleges. Prop 3 does nothing to reform wasteful spending and accountability on how the money is spent. What do we get for increasing our taxes? California schools are 37th in national ratings. They are taking your children without your knowledge for gender changing therapy and teaching them homosexuality is normal. Boys are allowed in girls’ bathrooms that provide condoms and Trans boys can play on girls’ athletic teams. Is this what we are paying for? I say No More! Give parents the $20,000 per student it costs per year. Then, let them pick what school, public or private, they want to send their children.

Ten years ago, voters said that tax dollars should never be able to fund campaigns of politicians. The Democrat legislators tried to pass this in 2016. The courts threw it out and said the voters must decide. Page 6 of 9 Now, 10 years later, they are back asking you, the taxpayer, to fund their ads against political speech and policies they do not support.

If the voters recall the Governor, we don’t get to choose the replacement—the office is automatically handed to the political machine’s second-in-command. The decision will be entirely out of the voters’ control.

No to a $25 billion BOND measure for costly taxpayer funded subsidies to housing developers. This will make California one of the biggest lenders overnight and the taxpayers will have to pick up the losses. Many housing units will end up costing $1 million.

Authorizes $8.4B in BONDS for immunology/immunotherapy research via a UC-affiliated institute and university grants. It will cost you, the taxpayer, $500 million annually for 25 years. The claim that Prop 38 will pay for itself is speculative. The State cannot guarantee that the investments will generate enough money to offset the billions in bond repayment.

The State changed the ballot title at the last minute, to “Prohibits Citizens from Voting.” The only thing this Measure prohibits is non-citizens and ineligible people from voting. It requires ID at polls (or last-4 digits of ID for mail ballots), state-issued voter ID cards on request, and annual citizenship- verification reporting. Prop 39 protects the right of every citizen to vote and restores public trust and confidence in our elections.

Prop 40 is backed by Service Employees International Union United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU- UHW) and it will go for healthcare related programs with 90% going to health care and 10% to food assistance/education. The State and Federal Government spent over $200 billion on health care programs. Most of it goes to Medi-Cal, insurance for low-income people. Prop 40 contains a provision allowing state politicians to expand the Wealth Tax to everyone without another vote of the public. It even can tax the value of your savings and checking account, 401k, stock portfolio, and current equity in your home. Even Gavin Newsom is an opponent, who says it could force the exodus of the state’s ultrawealthy. He knows that they provide the jobs, health insurance and stability of the State’s economy.

Makes it harder for local and State politicians to force special taxes on you! It also would require a pre- election audit of programs that would receive funding from a voter approved special tax to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.

It would prohibit politicians from taxing the value of your savings, checking accounts, 401k, stock portfolio, and current equity in your home. We already pay the highest taxes on income, sales, property, gas, and our cars. Don’t let the Legislature tax you again on what you earn and save.

Makes it harder for local politicians to raise our taxes by restoring the two-thirds vote requirement on any local tax measures. The vote No crowd simply wants more of your money to fund their waste and fraud. This was a great victory for Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association to save Prop 13. This measure will close the loophole that allowed special taxes to pass with less than a two-thirds vote required by Prop 13.

Increases mandates and costs on community health clinics, threatening their ability to provide patient care. Big Health Care doesn’t like smaller clinics taking away from them. Prop 44 would trigger $1.7 billion in penalties in the first year alone and force local clinics across California to go out of business.

Reduces regulation and combats frivolous lawsuits that have increased the cost of housing projects. California’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has been weaponized to block and delay housing, adding years and millions of dollars to every project. This is the first time, we the people, have ever been able to have the chance to reform (CEQA) at the ballot box!
