YOUR “NO” VOTE COUNTS

YOUR “NO” VOTE COUNTS

If for no other reason, you must go to the polls to VOTE “NO” on Proposition R.

For every “NO” vote on Proposition R, a “YES” vote is cancelled out. Who’s vote do you want to cancel?

Here is a list of a few of the top contributors to the “YES” on Proposition R campaign and their funding to date. So much for “reducing the power and influence of lobbyists and special interest.”

LA Arena Land Company $75,000
Ron Burkle, Investor $50,000
Morongo Band of Mission Indians $25,000
AEG and Affiliates $25,000
Casden Properties $25,000
Home Depot $25,000
Airport Management Services $15,000
UFCW Local 770 $10,000
St Andrews, Santa Monica $10,000
O’Melveny & Myers $7,500


Proposition R needs only a simple majority of the vote to pass. That means 50% plus 1. Every “NO” vote subtracts from that simple majority–every non-vote adds to it.

Send your councilmember a message on Tuesday, November 7th:

Tell them that you do not appreciate their deceitful tactics and will not reward them with 4 more years. Send a message to the LA Area Chamber of Commerce and the League of Women Voters who were complicit in this deception.

They have subverted the democratic process by ignoring the recommendation of the City Attorney that the proposition is misleading and unconstitutional (violating the single issue law for ballot measures).

And they have silenced the independent voice of the Ethics Commission that was formed in 1993 by the voters to prevent this type of ethics violation by our elected officials.

Shame on you Los Angeles City Council! Shame on you League of Women Voters! Shame on you Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce!
