Sacramento, CA- The No on Prop 6 & 9 campaigns announces 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 or www.votenoprop9.com .

Transcript of Radio Spot 3 – No on Props 6 and 9

It hardly ever happens… Newspapers throughout California all agree. They say Vote No on propositions 6 and 9 calling them budget busters California can’t afford. In fact, the Bakersfield Californian says “in these desperate economic times. Approving Props 6 and 9 would be pure insanity.”

They say “Prop 6 is a Christmas wish list for law enforcement” without any way to pay for it. It will require over a billion dollars in new spending. That’s right – a billion dollars. The Sac Bee says “Prop 6 means less money for schools, health care, parks, roads. We can’t afford it.”

The San Francisco Chronicle says “Prop 9 could amount to hundreds of millions of dollars every year.”

The Pasadena Star News says” Prop 9 would monkey around with the parole system.

Another says “Californians have harmed themselves before by adopting costly programs that drain state coffers. To do so again at this perilous point would be fiscal suicide.”

Vote No on 6 and 9…
