[GPSCC-chat] Fwd: [gpsmc-d] Fwd: Have you heard about Proposition 26?

[Wes Rolley]

Thanks for forwarding the info on Prop 26.  From what I have read., the 
oil money has stopped flowing to Prop 23 and is now working to defeat 
Prop 26.   I have gotten a recent mailer to that effect.

You can read more about it on Joe Romm'sClimate Progress
