NO on 197

I was appalled to find a bunch of "voters' guides" in today's mail.
     I was even more appalled by the misleading comments on 197 - such as
"yes on 197 - Save our wildlife".
     Killing endangered mountain lions is supposed to save our wildlife?
     And then, I noticed some of the names on the flyer, and thereby
associated with 'yes on 197'. I called some of their offices, and most of
them were appalled to find themselves associated with this - Louis Caldera's
office was so alarmed, they asked me to fax copies of the offending 'voter
guides'.

People are hyping the threat mountain lions pose to humans and pets. The
simple fact is that bees and spiders pose a greater threat to humans and
pets. The only reason we even have an occasional mountain lion attack is
habitat destruction and human encroachment on their territory.

Don't let the newspeak fool you:
     197 is not 'Wildlife Management' - it is 'Wildlife Killing'. It does not
save wildlife - it threatens wildlife.

Vote NO on 197.
