Re: Voter ALERT re;horse legislation in Calif

Gimmie a break Maryben.  You very well that ain't gonna happen to Virls 
mule because you got'em.   Nor to my ole sweetheart.  But to change the 
whole system because that could happen to a animal that someone doesn't 
care about anyway come on!  The alternative is not good given the other 
consequences.  Don't fall for that BS we are all being fed.  Just like 
the proposition on Electricity reduction #9 it reads like it will limit  
our taxes.  Fact is the real issue is the second line on the very ballot 
that says "Limits recovery by electric companies for cost of non-nuclear 
power plants".  The limit that the power companies want to recover is 
what it's all about.  The power companies want this to pass so they can 
pass on those limits because now they are being forced by the courts to 
pay for their own dumb mistakes, not pass them on to the consumer!  The 
list goes on #5 is another inroad by the casinos to the money that the 
people who need it the most will spend on gambling if it is passed. 
4,5,6,9 all S/B NO"S!
Sorry to get going on this, however the whole process of politics has 
gotten so screwed up in America that it is very frustrating!  I mean 
really look at the crap over "no hands" bridge and now they are trying 
to open the rest of the WS trail to motor bikes and even considering the 
handicapped access REALLY!  Did you know that they are proposing to 
build a bridge across the "Dark Hole of Calcutta" so the bikers can get 
across without going down there in the water?
