Props 6 & 9 Called "Budget Busters"
The No on Prop 6 & 9 campaigns announced the launch of a third 60-second radio ad. The ad informs voters that “Newspapers throughout California all agree…Vote No on Propositions 6 & 9, calling them budget busters California can’t afford.” This ad began running on Wednesday, October 22 in media markets across the state.
“Proposition 6 will cost California taxpayers billions of dollars, and force cuts to education, healthcare, fire protection and other vital programs” says Sandra Jackson, spokesperson for the California Teachers Association.
“The so-called “Victim’s Bill of Rights” or Proposition 9 creates costly burden for prosecutors and police, holds out false hopes to crime victims, interferes with the orderly administration of justice,” states Los Angeles County District Attorney, Steve Cooley. “Its parole revisions are patently unconstitutional.”
The No on Prop 6 & 9 campaigns represent a broad coalition that includes teachers, firefighters, nurses, healthcare workers, taxpayer associations, major churches and civil rights groups. To hear the ad in it’s entirety, as well as the first two ads, please visit www.votenoprop6.com.
