Did you get this in the mail from “Californians to Protect Retirement and Life Savings“?
Or did a signature gatherer try to corner you? (They get $15 if you sign!) This letter from the billionaire sponsors of “Building a Better California” is a fear-bomb, designed to make people believe that CA’s proposed 5% wealth tax, which only affects 200 of them, is actually coming after grandma’s pension!
Yeah. Ok, maybe. If grandma is a also friggin‘ BILLIONAIRE!
ACTION: How to respond to this ridiculous initiative?
The letter says to sign in two places on the back – once as a registered voter and once as the petition circulator.
- Don’t do it, of course! Warn your friends, family and coworkers not to sign any petition for this stupid initiative either! Signature-gathers will be aggressive for this one. Did we say they get $15 for each signature? They are even paying people to sign, which is totally illegal.
- Internet suggestions for dealing with the mailer so far:
- We investigated the suggestion to attach it to something heavy. Don’t do this! It just stresses out the folks at the USPS!
- Send it back without signing or write “EAT THE RICH” or similar on the back instead.
- If you already signed, you can get your signature removed! Here’s a nifty “Petition Signature Withdrawal Form” from our County Clerk-Recorder & Registrar of Voters Michelle Ascension!
INDIVISIBLE VENTURA
