Let's make this simple:

* Jamie Court could win a medal from Oliver Stone for his insurance
conspiracy theories.

* Transamerica sells life insurance NOT auto insurance.  Prop 200 is too
pro-consumer for the auto insurance industry to support it.

* Yeah, about 99% of our backing comes from Silicon Valley companies.  And
more than 99% of the opposition's backing comes from trial lawyers.  What
would you rather have in your living room?  A computer?  Or a trial
lawyer?

* Why do self-annoited consumer activists like Jamie Court fight every big
money special interest in the world except for the trial lawyers?  Maybe
because his organization and other establishment "consumer groups" are
funded almost solely by the trial lawyers.  In fact, acording to documents
filed with the Secratary of State, Harvey Rosenfield, a trial lawyer, has
received over $400,000 from his lawyer pals in the last 4 year.  In 1993,
as reported by the San Francisco Daily Journal (a lawyer trade pub.) he
received at least a $9,000 a month steady check from a California trial
lawyer group.
