Commercials, commercials, commercials... It is amazing that people fall for the lies.

Here it is folks, read it and weep! The memo outlines that we must cut $365,000,000 from the 06-07 budget if Referendum C fails. Take a look at the programs and the numbers… this is what is coming… IT DOES AFFECT YOU!
READ THE MEMO!!! Here are some "highlights":

"…included are the savings from reducing Corrections and Higher Education by 10 percent, which would generate $53.3 million and $59.8 million, respectively. However, given the fundamental impracticality and the public safety impacts of the cuts in Corrections, it is likely that a minimum 20 percent cut in Higher Education, as well as other cuts not proposed herein would be necessary to balance the FY 2006-07 budget if Referendum C fails." {page 1}

"Eliminate Motorist Insurance Identification Database" {page 4}
"Eliminate Instant Criminal Background Check" {page 5}
"Eliminate Office for Victims Programs" {page 5}
"Eliminate Office of Domestic Violence and Sex Offender Management" {page 5}
"... the [Natural Resources] Department has indicated that this would entail permanently closing 11 state parks..." {page 5}
"Eliminate the Poison Control Hotline" {page 6}

But thats not all.... READ THE MEMO and Forward this to EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
