Prop 34

Require certain health providers to use nearly all revenue from a federal prescription drug program on patient care: This measure is aimed at knee-capping the AIDS Health Foundation who is funding all sorts of crap outside their scope, including distributing free drug-use paraphernalia on SF streets. YES to stop sneaky lobbyist bait & switch.

YES, YES, YES on Prop 36: Allows Felony Charges and Increases Sentences for Certain Drug and Theft Crimes
Top Ten Reasons to vote YES on Prop 36
-
It’s better to lock up criminals than toothpaste.
-
We’ve all had ENOUGH of this b*llsh*t: the victimization of CA residents has impacted too many of our friends, families, favorite small & large businesses, and tourists.
-
We want our streets and stores to be safe again and able to serve our communities.
-
It creates CONSEQUENCES (you know, that thing that generally makes people avoid doing bad stuff…) for the explosion of crime and drug trafficking, since the people committing these crimes don’t face consequences now, due to Prop 47:
-
​Tougher penalties for serial retail theft and smash-and-grabs by increasing penalties for crimes when three or more people act together to commit theft
-
Holds repeat retail theft offenders accountable by allowing for the option of a felony for individuals who have two or more prior theft-related convictions
-
Allows stolen property values from multiple thefts to be combined so serial offenders can be charged with a felony if the total exceeds $950, countering tactics by career thieves who steal repeatedly to avoid harsher penalties
-
-
It’s supported by Democrats, Independents, Republicans, big AND small businesses, elected leaders, law enforcement, crime victims’ and drug survivor advocate groups.
-
Creates effective tools to hold criminals accountable for repeat retail theft and fentanyl trafficking and to compel habitual drug addicts into treatment. More young Californians are dying of drug overdoses than car accidents.
-
Enacts stricter penalties for dealers whose trafficking causes death or serious injury, and warns traffickers of potential murder charges if continued trafficking results in fatalities.
-
Makes fentanyl just like heroin, cocaine, and meth when offenders possess a firearm, and authorizes more consequences for selling deadly quantities.
-
-
Incentivizes drug and mental health treatment by breaking the cycle of repeat retail theft and addressing the root causes of theft, which is often to support an addiction.
-
Provides drug treatment services, mental health, and job training for those who are addicted to hard drugs such as fentanyl, meth, cocaine, heroin and PCP.
-
Restores incentives for people with severe drug addictions to utilize drug courts that mandate treatment.
-
Creates a “treatment-mandated felony” where individuals with two or more prior hard drug possession convictions would be given the option of drug and mental health treatment in lieu of going to jail.
