Prop. 30 will help protect California's future by ensuring funding for our schools and social safety net.  Prop 30 will free up as much as $5.6 billion in our general fund dollars to restore cuts to critical services like education, healthcare, childcare, and other safety net services. It will also stabilize our state's general fund. CA health and human services have suffered over $15 billion in cuts since 2008. Without Prop 30 we will continue to face the same kind of drastic budget deficits that have put vital programs in jeopardy over the last few years. This is our best chance to raise the revenues we need to prevent additional cuts. Help us help kids, seniors, families and Californians with disabilities with a YES on Prop 30!

Prop. 31 will put vulnerable populations at risk and jeopardize funding for critical services. Among many changes to our state constitution, Prop 31 would give Governors unilateral ability to make cuts without public hearings or legislative review. Other provisions would also prevent California from making needed investments in our future with a restrictive "pay-go" measure that would favor program cuts over revenue solutions.

After years and years of cuts to the social safety net, California's families simply can't afford the impacts of Prop 31. Visit www.Prop31facts.com for more info.

Prop. 32 will restrict everyday Californians from coming together to have a voice in elections while creating massive special exemptions for Wall Street and big corporations that are funding the campaign. Supporters claim the law will limit big campaign spending from all sides, but it essentially attacks workers like teachers, police officers, and our firefighters.

Prop. 34, the SAFE California Act, will replace California’s death penalty with a sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole as the maximum punishment for murder.  This means convicted killers will remain behind bars forever – with no risk of executing an innocent person. Additionally, the Legislative Analyst's official report on Prop. 34 says California taxpayers will save $130 million each year without releasing a single prisoner. This is money our state could use to protect state programs and services that benefit our communities.

Prop. 36 will eliminate unintended and ineffective life sentences currently imposed for non-serious and non-violent crime. It will restore the original intent and core purpose of the Three Strikes law, which is to ensure that dangerous and violent criminals remain behind bars. Lastly, it will free up to $100 million dollars in the state general fund, which could be used for schools, public safety, or health and human services programs that we all care about.

Prop 37 would require that food sold in California would be labeled if it contains genetically engineered (GE) ingredients. GE crops increase pesticide use – by 400 million pounds, and counting – putting farmworkers and rural community members who live near fields at great health risk.

Prop. 39 closes a huge loophole in California’s tax laws. Multistate businesses would no longer be able to choose the method for determining their state taxable income that is most advantageous for them. This measure raises $500 million in 2012-2013, and approximately $1 billion each year thereafter. About half of this increased tax revenue would be used to support energy efficiency and alternative energy, and the remainder would go to the general fund.
