U.S. Newswire : Releases : "Group Discovers Major Flaws in California's Proposition 63" LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Los Angeles, after doing a thorough study of Proposition 63, is issuing warnings to legislators and government leaders of the State about the inherent problems with the proposed initiative. This is a covert attempt of an agency in the State of California to put itself above the Constitution and Laws of the State. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and a reform minded psychiatrist, Dr. Thomas Szasz, to investigate and expose abuses of human rights in the field of mental health. releases.usnewswire.com /GetRelease.asp?id=34334

LWV California. Pro & Con Analysis of Prop 63. November 2, 2004 Proposition 63 provides funds to the state and counties to expand and develop programs and services for the mentally ill, including prevention, early intervention and education. Proposition 63 expands mental health care for children and adults using programs proven to be effective while requiring strict financial accountability. Proposition 63 mandates funding existing mental health programs at their current levels, regardless of proven effectiveness or efficiency. ca.lwv.org /lwvc/edfund/elections/2004nov/pc/prop63.html

Whatever It Is, I’m Against It: California proposition recommendations After the last round of reapportionment, districts in California (and most of the country) are so solidly partisan that the primary is the only election that matters, which favors ideologues rather than centrists, and leaves you with a choice of whack-jobs in November. Proposition 66 — Amends the three-strikes law to require that a crime be a violent or serious felony in order to qualify as a strike and imposes more severe penalties for sexual crimes against children. Proposition 69 — Requires felons to provide a sample of their DNA for storage in a law enforcement database, and authorizes local authorities to take such specimens from individuals arrested on suspicion of rape or murder. whateveritisimagainstit.blogspot.com /2004/10/california-proposition-recommendations.html

The Passage of Proposition 63 Increases Funding for Mental Health Services in California Proposition 63, a statewide initiative to fund adult and children’s mental health programs, passed with 53.4 percent of the vote. In pilot projects similar to those that will be funded by Proposition 63, participants had a 56 percent reduction in hospital stays, a 72 percent reduction in jail stays, and a 65 percent increase in full-time employment. Proposition 63 will fund community mental health programs with voluntary outreach, access to medicines, and a variety of support services for children and adults with mental disorders. www.nmha.org /shcr/issuebrief/prop63.cfm

An Opposing View: PROP. 63 / A mental-health initiative dangerous for California Proposition 63 is an abuse of California's direct-democracy process generally and of the initiative process specifically. 63 were to pass -- and remain on the books for 20 to 30 years -- no one knows how many people would be driven into these high-earning brackets (look at what has happened to home prices over the last quarter century) and be subject to this tax. Clearly, California should not enact a measure the tax provisions of which are essentially indecipherable and would be left to the interpretation of those who wrote Prop. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/10/12/EDG1B97B591.DTL

Green California - Proposition endorsements Once a part of Proposition 60 but separated from the proposition by the courts, Proposition 60A dedicates proceeds from the sale of state surplus property to pay principal and interest on the Economic Recovery Bonds approved by Proposition 57 in 2004, rather than being deposited to the General Fund. Green California does not support either the mandating of new county funds, nor shifting the control of such funds to the state, especially when the telephone tax is estimated to be $32 million a year. While the premise of Proposition 67 is innocuous enough -- a minor telephone tax to pay for uncompensated emergency and trauma medical care performed by hospitals, doctors and clinics -- the proposition also includes deceptive language that flies in the face of Green principles. www.greencalifornia.org /news/en_prop.html

News and Analysis - California Journal - October 2004 - Ballot propositions California's crime rate has decreased at twice the national average since 1994, when "three strikes" was passed; narrowing the law will return more felons to the streets. California's population has increased 20 percent since 1990, but the number of children's hospitals has remained the same. The proposition would create a new state medical institute, staffed by up to 50 employees, to dispense the bond funds and to sift through applications from researchers and medical facilities. www.californiajournal.org /news/calj/_O.c.t.ober_2.0.0.4.

SFPI&S Votes Yes on Proposition 63 Proposition 63, also known as the Mental Health Services Act, expands mental health care for children and adults, using programs proven to be effective. Counties will receive funds to deliver services under Proposition 63 to the extent that they demonstrate that they have significant unmet needs and establish that they have the resources and capability to deliver services that meet the standards under the nationally recognized integrated services model for adults and seniors and the children's system of care. "Proposition 63 is a creatively financed effort to right this injustice. www.sfpi.org /general/nrfall-04.htm

Proposition 72: Health Care Coverage Ballot propositions: Analysis of the November propositions by California Journal editors in the October issue. The November 2004 election ballot includes Proposition 72: Health Care Coverage, a referendum on the Health Insurance Act of 2003 (SB2) passed by the legislature and Governor Gray Davis (see bill documents associated with SB2). In 1992 the California Medical Association (CMA) proposed the California Affordable Basic Health Care Act, requiring all employers in the state to provide health insurance for workers and their families. www.igs.berkeley.edu /library/htHealthCare.html

Vote YES on Proposition 63 for critical mental health services One ballot measure Psych Techs should have no question about voting YES on is Proposition 63, the Mental Health Services Act of 2004. These expanded programs will be funded by California's wealthiest people, who will pay a 1 percent tax on their income over a million dollars. 63 will raise up to $700 million the first year, then grow by about 7 percent a year after that. www.psych-health.com /prop63b.htm

The Indepundit No candidate will have the name of a party placed next to their name on the election ballot (since there's no primary election run by the state, we don't need to call it the General Election) unless they submit written permission, with their nominating papers, from the chairman of said registered political party. Unfortunately, this one it the most open and accessible to abuse, as the current round of Ohio and Flordia election challenges are showing for the general election. You said it yourself, the state is already in debt, and my opinion is it's partially because we have to pay to keep non-violent criminals in jail for 25 years. www.indepundit.com /archive2/2004/10/my_election_pic_1.html

Election - sacbee.com California's special election is just 63 days off and so far, it's shaping up as anything but ordinary. Fewer California voters than ever are inclined to vote to re-elect Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger next year, but many of them are still trying to figure out what to make of his Democratic opponents, according to the latest Field Poll. Two of the three initiatives Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed to fix California government are losing badly and a third is trending in the same direction - toward defeat, according to a new Field Poll. www.sacbee.com /content/politics/ca/election

Proposition 47 - University of California - The University of California Board of Regents today (May 16) endorsed the Facilities Bond Acts of 2002 and 2004, which would provide funding for K-12 and higher education facility needs over the next four years. On November 5th, California voters approved Proposition 47, the state bond measure that will provide $13 billion for school facilities, by a 59%-to-41% margin. The 2004 Bond Act would authorize $10 billion for K-12 and $2.3 billion for higher education. www.universityofcalifornia.edu /news/prop47.html

Proposition 63: Destroying Our Children's Future - Article by Freedom Magazine However, every vote for Proposition 63 is, in essence, a signature on the blank check made out to the California mental health industry to take approximately a billion dollars per year and spend it as they please. But what the California psychiatric cabal doesn’t tell you is that they can use the state’s involuntary commitment laws to take anyone against their will and force them into their system. And the sky is the limit on the largesse: One section of Prop 63 also mandates that the state mental health budget can never be reduced again, even though it would generate an additional $250 to $800 million in costs annually in each of the next three years. www.freedominla.org /issue08i2/page02.htm

Invest in California's Education - Vote for Proposition 55 - Daily Nexus Online A key issue on the March 2 ballot is Proposition 55, a bond measure that would provide funding for education facilities throughout California.

Prop 55 has been endorsed by the California State Parent Teacher Association, California Taxpayers' Association, California Chamber of Commerce and Congress of California Seniors, among other organizations. www.ucsbdailynexus.com /print_article.php?a=6871

California Statewide November 2, 2004 General Election - Propositions Proposition 63 only taxes individuals on their taxable, personal income over $1 million.

Welcome to the Nicholas C. Petris Center In November 2004, California voters passed Proposition 63, a landmark piece of mental health and fiscal legislation. The paper suggests that Proposition 63 passed with strong support from Democrats, urban areas, social workers, and in counties with high rates of homelessness. Proposition 63 faces challenges in implementation, and provides unprecedented opportunities for transformation and change. www.petris.org

Proposition 63: unsound Proposition 63 would spend $800 million a year on mental health programs by 2006. Those favoring the bill, such as the California Nurses Association, say the state has underfunded mental health programs in recent years. An idea of sounder mind is to spend existing money more efficiently by reforming state and local health bureaucracies, as part of the governor's California Performance Review. www.ocregister.com /ocr/2004/09/20/sections/commentary/editorials/article_244717

California Catholic Conference E-Newsletter November 12, 2004 Proposition 66, which proposed to amend the "Three Strikes" law so that the "third strike" had to be a serious and violent felony (unlike the current requirement that it only be a felony) was defeated by a vote of 53.2 to 46.8 percent. The reporters, by the end of the campaign, were writing about the conflicts of interest of Proposition 71 proponents, the lack of accountability and oversight in the proposed law, and unsubstantiated claims of forthcoming cures promulgated in the advertisements. Proposition 71, the Embryonic Cloning and Stem Cell Research Bond Act, passed 59 to 41 percent. www.cacatholic.org /enl/enl41112.html

California Patriot Online - 2004 Election Guide: Propositions Proposition 71 seeks a $3 billion bond from the state’s General Fund to establish the “California Institute for Regenerative Medicine,” an agency that would regulate and fund both embryonic and adult stem cell research. The argument for the proposition says that it would require Indians to pay their “fair share” of 25% to the state, otherwise face viable market competition which would be able to contribute to California’s economy. This proposition would limit the application of the “Three Strikes” Law to “violent and/or serious felonies.” It also “increases punishment for specified sex crimes against children.” More specifically, it requires that the second and third strike offenses of a given criminal be violent and/or serious felonies, instead of any felony. www.calpatriot.org /article.php?articleID=125
