Alameda
County Measure B1-additional sales tax for transportation-was put on the
ballot by the Alameda County Tranportation Commission (ACTC). Most
times, there is no argument presented on the ballot for these types of
propositions and they usually pass. ACTC expected no opposition
and thought it would pass easily. Several people on our property
rights team were paying attention. They wrote the "NO"
argument and submitted it under CAPRs name just before the deadline.
The transportation guys panicked because they had not written anything up
justifying "YES". Someone in the county tipped them off to
our "NO" and they frantically put in the "YES"
argument. ACTC, builders, developers, contractors, architects,
engineers and labor groups funded the 'yes on b1' campaign to the tune of
over $600,000 this year (your TAX $ at work). They lost by a narrow
margin. The areas where we were active, Pleasanton, Livermore,
Dublin were solidly in the "NO" column. Since they lost,
they asked for a recount.
We
defeated the recount after just one day. Read about it here
Major Point:
Individuals on a grassroots organized team with NO MONEY
can make a difference.
KUDOS all around especially to:
Pat and
Judy for catching the ballot measure and recommending we write the
"NO"
Chris
Pareja and Al Phillips for signing the "NO" argument along with
SFBay CAPR
Russ for
making signs to put out on the street
Everyone
who distributed flyers and spoke to friends and neighbors
Susan
Morse and her Election Integrity Project Team for preparing us
Sue Caro
and her team for helping man the recount on our side
Frank Lee
and Pacific Justice Institute for supporting our efforts
Chris
Pareja did an excellent job of being our spokesman in the
recount and giving some great interviews to the media.
If we can
do it, others can do it.
This is
one small step for the taxpayers of Alameda County
One
giant leap for LIBERTY
