Everyone in CA needs to help defeat Prop 29 or Cigar prices will rise real fast! Here is an update:

The June 5th election is just over a month away and the campaign has kicked into high gear. We recently released ads that you may have seen or heard – if not, you can watch and listen to them here.

Now, more than ever, we need your help spreading our message throughout California. Here are few ways
you can help:

Stay Informed. Read the recent editorials by the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register and The Press-Enterprise on why they all oppose Prop. 29.

Engage Online. By posting on Facebook and Twitter, you can communicate quickly and easily with your friends, family, colleagues and members why Prop. 29 is wrong for California.

Stay Informed

ICYMI: LA Times recommends No on 29. CA cannot afford another ballot-box boondoggle. Learn more at NoOn29.com

Big endorsement for No on 29 – LA Times says “The problem with Proposition 29... isn’t the tax but how the money it raises would be spent.” NoOn29.com

ICYMI: Prop 29 “takes perfectly good tax money and misspends it,” says LA Times. Learn more at NoOn29.com.

The Orange County Register's Editorial Board “unequivocally opposes Prop. 29” because “It would add another layer of taxation to the tune of more than $800 million a year.”

OC Register Editorial Board on Prop. 29: “…voters don't have to wait until November to gird for another tax assault. Proposition 29 on the June 5 ballot will be a
preliminary skirmish. The Register's Editorial Board unequivocally opposes Prop. 29. It would add another layer of taxation to the tune of more than $800 million a year. Like so many assaults on taxpayers, this one is couched in do-good language. But we don't recall any tax increases promoted for what their backers admitted were bad causes.”

LA Times recommends No on Prop 29. Says “California can't afford to retain its K-12 teachers, keep all its parks open, give public college students the courses they need to earn a degree or provide adequate home health aides for the infirm or medical care for the poor. If the state is going to raise a new$735 million, it should put the money in the general fund rather than dedicating it to an already well-funded research effort. Funding priorities shouldn't be set at the ballot box.” NoOn29.com

In Case You Missed It: The Press-Enterprise says “Prop. 29 asks Californians to tie the state’s tangled finances in even bigger knots, to pay for services that are not a priority for the state’s limited public funds.”
