	California - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		California was poorly settled until modern public health eliminated the endemic outbreaks of yellow fever, malaria and plague, caused from the area’s lack of frosts, which kills mosquitoes and fleas.
		California's vast terrain is connected by an extensive system of freeways, expressways, and highways, all maintained by Caltrans and patrolled by the California Highway Patrol, except for the numbered expressways in Santa Clara County which were built and maintained by the county itself.
		California is governed as a republic, with three branches of government: the executive branch consisting of the Governor of California and the other independently elected constitutional officers; the legislative branch consisting of the Assembly and Senate; and the judicial branch consisting of the Supreme Court of California and lower courts.

	California's Proposition 187 Shows Hate and Fear
		The implication in the text of the proposition, and in the statements made to support it, is that illegal immigrants are largely to blame for the economic hardship and social unrest that have marked California's recent past.

		Proposition 187 goes one step further and establishes a system of required notification to the INS of any person that has requested a public service and is under "reasonable suspicion" of being in the country illegally.

		Proposition 187 not only dehumanizes all undocumented people, but it also requires our (those of us who are documented) complicit participation in that dehumanization.

	Proposition 187 Lessons
		The trouble with much of the critical discussion of the electoral campaign against California's Proposition 187 is that it starts from a false premise: if only opposition forces had been better organized or adopted more “mainstream” (or more “honestly progressive”) messages, somehow they could have won an electoral majority.
		In fact, in November 1994, the Illegal Aliens measure (as the official ballot summary named the law denying health care, social services and education to the undocumented) so perfectly appealed to the racial anxieties of voting Californians that it is impossible to imagine an electoral strategy that could have defeated it.
		Proposition 187 served as the perfect vehicle for the overwhelmingly white electorate to express its unease.

		Although the passage of Proposition 187 may have stemmed the more robust growth in total visits these clinics experienced in October, Proposition 187's effect on total visits at primary care clinics serving large Latino populations was almost certainly small relative to other factors affecting clinic service use.
		We conclude that the passage of Proposition 187 did not substantially affect the number of visits to primary care clinics serving low-income populations in California, although individual patient delays in obtaining care were widely perceived by clinic directors.
		In the event that Proposition 187 or similar legislation were implemented, immigrants' widespread avoidance of health services would seem inevitable, regardless of health department attempts to maintain access to public health and emergency services.

		California, with its 54 electoral votes, is considered crucial to Democratic hopes to hold onto the White House next year and for that reason, GOP strategists are looking for ways to reclaim Republican strength there.
