 Prop. 23 is a ballot initiative financed by Texas oil companies to paralyze CA 2006 Air Pollution and Global Warming Law (AB32). This law is the strongest global warming law in the country, and for environmentalists in America, defending this law is the most important action we can take to show the world America is concerned about global warming. Don't stand for Big Oil ruining our environment. Come stand up for democracy and the environment this weekend!

Richmond's Green Mayor Faces Formidable  Challenge
In race focused on casino, opponent says jobs trump the  environment

Nat Bates, right, speaks to supporters during the opening of  his campaign 
headquarters in Richmond on Saturday, Sept. 4, 2010 (Adithya  Sambamurthy/The 
Bay Citizen)
Nathaniel Bates, a 78-year-old retired parole officer, has run unsuccessfully  
for mayor of Richmond three times. He kicked off his fourth campaign one recent  
afternoon by attacking the policies of the incumbent, the Green Party's Gayle  
McLaughlin.
"This mayor is for jobs, but only for green jobs," Bates, a Democrat who sits  
on Richmond's City Council, told supporters. "Well, my perspective is that I  
don't care if the job is green, purple, yellow or polka dot. A job is a  job."
Richmond, with a population of 103,468, is the largest city in the  country with 
a Green mayor. But with the city's unemployment rate near  20 percent, Bates is 
seen as a formidable candidate to unseat McLaughlin, whose  environmental 
activism is suddenly viewed as a potential liability during hard  economic 
times.
Bates's platform ? jobs trump the environment ? is playing out across  
California's political landscape, even in the Bay Area, a hub for the  
environmental movement. The November ballot contains Proposition 23, which would  
freeze the state's landmark global warming law, AB 32, barring a precipitous  
drop in the unemployment rate.
Carly Fiorina, the Republican candidate for Senate and a former chief  executive 
of Hewlett Packard, came out in support of Proposition 23 this month,  calling 
AB 32, a "jobs killer." Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for  governor and 
a former chief executive of eBay, has said that, if elected, she  intends to 
suspend AB 32 for a year.
In Richmond, the debate revolves around a proposal to build a $1 billion, Las  
Vegas-style casino on San Francisco Bay. The developer, James D. Levine,  
contends the project will create 17,000 jobs. The casino's future rests on  
another November ballot measure before Richmond voters, and although the ballot  
measure is only advisory, its passage would greenlight the project.
McLaughlin strenuously opposes the casino, which would be built on a  promontory 
known as Point Molate. "We most definitely need jobs and a good  healthy 
development at Point Molate," she said in a telephone interview, "but a  casino 
will not bring that. The evidence is overwhelming that casinos create  more 
problems: crime, prostitution, theft, drug sales. We need the kind of  
development that will bring about a legacy for Richmond that we can be proud  
of."
Bates said in response that Richmond, which has the 12th-highest homicide  rate 
in the state, already has those problems in abundance.
Bates, who is black and was first elected to the City Council in 1968, has  tied 
his candidacy to the casino. He described the project as a class issue.
"A lot of the people who don't want this and don't want that, they're already  
secure in life," he said. "They're not concerned about jobs.
"We are the playground for the elitist people from the Berkeley Hills, from  the 
Oakland Hills, from San Francisco. We want all these beautiful amenities  that 
go with the elitist groups. But if I'm unemployed, I don't have a job, I  don't 
have a way of even buying a McDonald's burger, then what the hell kind of  life 
do I have?"
Regardless of its outcome, the casino debate has laid bare some awkward  truths 
about Richmond. In 2008, the median income for white households here  ($61,000) 
was roughly 50 percent higher than for blacks ($42,000). The city is  
essentially divided between outlying neighborhoods like Richmond Annex and Point  
Richmond ? home to a mostly white population, including many recent transplants  
seeking relief from the Bay Area's dizzying real estate prices ? and blacks and  
Hispanics spread across a gritty urban grid where most of the crime occurs.

Mayor Gayle McLaughlin 
McLaughlin, who is a white former schoolteacher and a native of Chicago, won  a 
three-way race in 2006 by 242 votes against two black candidates: Irma  
Anderson, the incumbent mayor, and Gary Bell, a banker.
McLaughlin opposed a 2008 deal to import Japanese cars through the Port of  
Richmond, arguing that the increased traffic would pollute the bay. She also  
opposes a plan to retrofit the Point Richmond Chevron refinery to process heavy  
crude oil, arguing that it would damage the environment.
She has repeatedly clashed with Chevron, the city's largest employer, and  
spearheaded a campaign to extract more taxes out of it. In May, McLaughlin won a  
major victory when Chevron agreed to pay an additional $114 million to the city  
over the next 15 years. (Chevron has remained neutral on Proposition 23, which  
has received significant financing from out-of-state oil companies.)
At the same time, McLaughlin has transformed Richmond into the Bay  Area's 
unlikely leader in solar power production, home to prominent start-ups  like 
SunPrint and SunPower. Her efforts have drawn both praise and  criticism ? 
detractors have dubbed her Mayor Moonbeam, playing off the nickname  once given 
to former Gov. Jerry Brown.
"We can't solve old problems with old solutions. We can't rely on these quick  
fixes," McLaughlin said about her opponents' vision for job growth. "Now we're  
poised to take advantage of the only growing sector in our economy. I have a new  
model for business."
A rendering of the proposed casino (Courtesy of Jim Levine)
McLaughlin and groups like Citizens for a Sustainable Point Molate are  
skeptical that the casino will produce thousands of jobs. They prefer a  
convention center for the site or a network of waterfront parks.
Bates said the most important consideration was that a casino would bring in  
new jobs ? any new jobs ? and generate approximately $20 million a year in  
taxes.
Bates's supporters point out that neither McLaughlin nor her staunchest ally  on 
the Council, Jeff Ritterman, the chief of cardiology at Kaiser Richmond  
hospital, is a longtime resident of Richmond. In contrast, Bates came to  
Richmond with his mother in the 1940s when she worked as a coach cleaner on the  
Santa Fe Railroad.
In addition to McLaughlin and Bates, John Ziesenhenne ? a former councilman  and 
past president of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce ? is running for mayor.  
Ziesenhenne is basing his campaign on job growth, too, but in an interview, he  
said he would not specify his position on the casino until after the  election.
Several black political action committees are throwing their weight behind  
Bates. He also has the support of the local police, firefighter and trade  
unions. While the Chamber of Commerce endorsed Ziesenhenne last week, Bates has  
the support of many individual businesses.
Chevron is also rumored to back Bates, although the company has not given to  
any campaigns yet, according to the latest campaign filings. A company spokesman  
said Chevron would "put our support behind a candidate who supports Richmond's  
jobs."
Jason McDaniel, an assistant professor of political science at San Francisco  
State, said Bates's strong base among blacks and his longtime ties to labor  
might enable him to defeat McLaughlin. The mayor's Green Party status makes her  
more vulnerable, he said.
"If the mayor was a Democrat, I would expect her to be more formidable," he  
said. "I see her as being ripe to be defeated."
Compared to McLaughlin, Bates is a social conservative who grouses publicly  
about the mayor's refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities and  
the gay and lesbian street parades she has organized.
Bates, a former high school football star who looks younger than his 78  years, 
said he believed he often clashed with McLaughlin and other female  officials 
because "a lot of them have never been participants in athletic  programs."
He represents, perhaps, a throwback-style of politics that was on display  
during a recent drive through downtown to distribute campaign materials.
"The police are friendly with me. Who are they going to ticket?"  Bates said as 
he drove briefly down the wrong direction of a one-way street. He  parked his 
white pickup truck in front of a fire hydrant as he walked inside  C.J.'s 
Barbeque & Fish shop to put up a campaign poster !!
As he chatted in familiar tones with Charles Evans, the shop's long-time  owner, 
Bates spoke of his disapproval of the mayor's emphasis on the  environment.
"You can save this planet," Bates said. "But hell, if people don't have any  
work and jobs to sustain themselves, then what are you doing?"

Dear David , 

We would like to call your attention to a poverty reduction bill now sitting on Gov. Schwarzenegger's desk that would significantly help low-income families live in healthier, more vibrant communities in Marin and California. 
 
The governor needs to hear from you that this bill is crucial to Marin County and California's future.

 
SB 194
 
The Community Equity Investment Act of 2010 (SB 194, Sponsored by Sen. Florez) would ensure that low-income residents have a meaningful role in determining how Community Development Block Grants are spent - and that the needs of those communities are prioritized.

Click here to get more information about this bill and to tell Gov. Schwarzenegger to Support the Community Equity Investment Act of 2010. 
 
Let's ENGAGE, PARTICIPATE and VOTE! 

Looking forward,

Marnie, 
 
We spent about 2 months on the County Polling propositions already, and now have our official State position on each proposition. About 20 counties were responsive...but Marin was not. I understand the concern about bureaucracy, but we do need to have some processes in place in order to function. We sent numerous emails to each county contact asking for polling to take place and results to be sent in. A couple of us even made phone calls which is not usually done. In fact, you and I had a conversation about county polling but then we never heard from Marin. What else would you suggest we do to gather this information from around the state? Its not an easy task!

Tim Morgan
GPSC
Green Party of Sonoma County
Recommendations - Fall 2010 November Election
    
Here are some perspectives and positions on the propositions from the Sonoma Green Party.
 
 
Prop 19 - YES 
Legalizes, regulates, and taxes cannabis (?marijuana? is Mexican slang for cannabis) in ways similar to how alcohol is regulated. Local governments retain some powers of discretion of how to regulate. Estimated increases in state revenues of $2-3B/yr. After 70 years, the war on ?reefer madness? has clearly failed, has jailed thousands of individuals, mostly from communities of color for non-violent possession, and has increased profits and powers of murderous drug cartels. Prohibition did not work in the 1920s, isn't working now, and is creating modern mobsters. When you don?t learn from history, you?re condemned to repeat its mistakes. It's time to try a fresh, less repressive approach that saves money, creates new jobs, awareness and income for the state.
 
Prop 20 - YES
Every ten years after the census current law requires the party in power in California to re-draw the 53 congressional districts boundaries to make districts roughly equal in population again, according to the constitutional principle of "equal representation." The corporate sponsored parties, acting in their own self-interest, use that law as an opportunity to manipulate or "gerrymander" district lines in ways that ensure their candidates are easily elected and re-elected again and again. Computer programming and mapping have now enabled those parties to pre-determine with precision who will be elected (99.5% of the 212 CA congressional elections from '02 - '08, when only one district changed parties). Maximum electoral predictability and a lack of real electoral choices are characteristics of repressive tyranny, not a democratic republic. Prop 20 establishes a multi-lateral commission to draw district lines according to geographical considerations, maintaining compact, contiguous, towns and cities rather than chopped up, separated, bisected and divided communities for purely political power motivations.
 
Prop 21 - No Position
The Green Party of Sonoma County is a strong supporter of State Parks. We also support fees on automobiles to help pay for their externalized impacts and to act as a disincentive to their use. We do not like the regressive nature of this proposition, in that it imposes the same $18 fee on a working person driving a small, fuel-efficient vehicle that it imposes on an investment banker driving a large SUV. Prop 21 also creates a perverse incentive, motivating people to increase their vehicle miles by offering free admission to all state parks to surcharged vehicles. We acknowledge that there are not a lot of options on how to travel to state parks, but that doesn?t mean that the state should incentivize driving at a time when the state is trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
 
Prop 22 - YES
One of the ten key values of the Green Party is decentralization, which implies greater local control of resources and decision-making. Prop 22 helps to safeguard local control over local resources, in this case tax revenues. State raids on local transportation and other funds make it extremely difficult to carry out transportation and other planning.
 
Prop 23 - NO
Funded mostly by two large Texas-based oil companies, Valero and Tesoro, this proposition would effectively kill California?s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, a noble first attempt at reining in the state?s greenhouse gas emissions which are about 2% of global emissions from a population that is only 0.6% of the global population.


 
Prop 24 - YES
Closes loopholes, ends tax write-offs, tax breaks, and tax cuts of $1.7Billion/year, recently opened and granted to the state's biggest, most profitable corporations, by our Republican and Democrat state legislators, while they cry crocodile tears for laid off teachers, firefighters and police. Who supports and who opposes this Proposition? -- Follow the money: Funding support by California Teachers Association ($2.2 million). Opposition funding by Fox Group, Time Warner, CBS, General Electric, Cisco Systems, Amgen, Walt Disney Company, and Genentech Inc.
 
Prop 25 - YES
The Green Party strives for consensus-seeking decision-making. When consensus cannot be reached, we seek to arrive at decisions with high voting thresholds. The purpose of this process is to make a sincere effort to hear and involve all points of view, promoting maximum inclusion in the best solution.  A 2/3 vote threshold would be a good thing in the budget process in that it is a way to bring out and address all concerns in order to reach the high threshold. Unfortunately, the reality is that the high threshold has been abused for irrational reasons not based on merit, resulting in gridlock and a stranglehold on the ability of the legislature to pass the state budget in a timely manner.
 
Prop 26 ? NO
The state legislature is currently restricted by the 2/3 requirement needed for passing new taxes. In order to get around that restriction, state lawmakers have been passing various fees, levies and surcharges that appear on consumers? bills (e.g., utility bills). These fees only require a 50.1% threshold and are thus easier to pass. Utility companies and other corporations pass on these extra charges to consumers. Proposition 26 is an attempt by large corporations to avoid the increased costs for natural resources they extract, for airwaves they use, pollution they cause, or harm to public health they?re responsible for. It?s an abuse of supermajority thresholds for the sole purpose of protecting corporate profit.
 
Prop 27 - NO
Prop 27 is diametrically opposed to Prop 20 - (see above). Prop 27 was masterminded by Howard Berman (House Rep, D - LA, 28th Dist). Berman ran unopposed in the last election in his heavily gerrymandered district. He and other incumbents try to avoid true electoral competition by promoting this Proposition which eliminates the Redistricting Commission which is dedicated to stop gerrymandering in state legislative districts, and which was approved by the voters by Prop 11 in 2008. Prop 27 tries to confuse and confound voters into voting against Prop 20 and overturning Prop 11.
