Three Days Left.
Don’t Be Fooled By The Wolves Dressed In Sheep Clothing!
Vote NO on Propositions 1A through 1E on May 19, 2009.
Prop. 1A will raise taxes on all Californians and extend these taxes for one to two years, taking another $16 billion from you! The already approved tax increase will cost a typical California family $1,100 annually.
HIGHER SALES TAX! Proposition 1A will extend the sales tax hike for an additional full year. California taxpayers already pay the highest sales tax in the nation. This is a direct attack on all working families, especially low-income residents.
HIGHER CAR TAX! Proposition 1A will extend the DOUBLING of the car tax. This affects every California car owner.
HIGHER STATE INCOME TAX! Proposition 1A will extend an income tax increase for two extra years. Californians already pay the highest income tax rates in the nation. Under Prop. 1A, you’ll pay even more.
REDUCTION OF TAX CREDIT FOR DEPENDENTS! Californians with children will see a reduction in the tax credits for dependents, costing them $200 per child. Prop. 1A will extend this attack on families for an extra two years.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is urging a vote of "NO" on Prop. 1A, which DOUBLES the tax increase!

VOTER SENTIMENT RUNNING AGAINST FIVE OF SIX BUDGET PROPOSITIONS ON MAY 19 BALLOT. MAJORITIES SKEPTICAL THAT PROP. 1A WILL ACHIEVE ITS GOALS. MANY VOTERS CONFUSED ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT PROPS. 1D AND 1E WILL HAVE ON HEALTH-RELATED BUDGETS.
By Mark DiCamillo and Mervin Field
Following passage of the long-delayed state budget in February, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders agreed to place proposals for voter approval onto a special statewide election scheduled for May 19. Now, with just three weeks to Election Day, a new Field Poll finds pluralities of likely voters lining up on the No side on five of six of the ballot measures.
Prop. 1A (Rainy Day Budget Stabilization Fund) This proposition, which would establish a “rainy day” budget reserve and limit state spending, is trailing by nine points – 49% No, 40% Yes and 11% undecided.
Prop. 1B (Education Funding)
Prop. 1B, the measure that would provide supplemental funding to local schools and community colleges, is also behind by nine points – 49% No vs. 40% Yes, with 11% undecided.
Prop. 1C (Lottery Modernization)
The measure receiving the least support is Prop. 1C. It calls for modernizing the state lottery and borrowing against its future proceeds. Likely voters are opposing it 59% to 32%.
Prop. 1D (Children’s Services Funding) This measure would transfer early childhood development monies out of the California Children and Families Program to the state general fund. Voters divide 49% No, 40% Yes, with 11% undecided.
Prop. 1E (Mental Health Funding)
Prop. 1E would temporarily transfer funds currently allocated to mental health programs under the Mental Health Services Act to the state general fund. Currently 51% are voting No and 40% Yes.
Prop. 1F (Elected Officials Salaries) This proposition, which would bar legislative and statewide constitutional officers from receiving pay raises when the state is running a budget deficit, is overwhelmingly supported, 71% Yes to 24% No.
