Proposition 37; Important Information
Oct 30, 2012
Many of you know that I have been a big supporter of Yes on Proposition 37 – the effort to require the labeling of genetically engineered food.  Right now the No on 37 Campaign is blanketing the airwaves with lies and distortions. These ads are designed to confuse you and steer you away from the fact that you have the right to know what’s in your food. 

It’s important that you understand who the “No on 37” actually is.  The two largest contributors to the No on 37 Campaign – multinational agrichemical corporations Monsanto ($8.1 million) and Dupont ($4.9 million) – are the same corporations that told us Agent Orange and DDT were safe.   You can find out more about Monsanto by watching this. Then there are the junk food companies helping to bankroll the opposition such as Cocoa Cola, Pepsi, Nestle and Kellogs.  There are in fact zero donations from actual people to the No side– they are all contributions coming from multi-billion dollar corporations.  
 
Proposition 37 was co-written by manufacturers, distributors, food safety lawyers, consumer groups, and farmers. It was put before grocers and independent certifying groups before filing. It is written to protect businesses and to pass legal scrutiny. The Proposition covers food on supermarket shelves.
 
  • No cost to consumers: Adding a few words to labels costs nothing. Labeling didn’t raise costs in 61 other countries and won’t raise costs here.Read the Truth about Cost.
  • Exemptions are common sense: Prop 37 exempts products that have no ingredient labels, such as restaurant food and alcohol. But it will cover meat from genetically engineered animals. The opposition is trying to confuse voters about exemptions.  Read the Truth about Exemptions
We have thousands of endorsers such as the California Nurses Association, United Farm Workers, California Council of Churches, the Sierra Club and thousands of other endorsers you can see here.
 
Sixty-one countries around the world - representing more than 40% of the planet's population - already require GMO labeling, including all of Europe, Japan, India and China.
The right to know what is in my food and your food is not just important enough for me to vote for Prop 37 but it's why I've dedicated my time to this campaign.  Voting YES on Prop 37 will help ensure that Californians can make informed decisions about the foods we eat and feed our children.  Please vote YES and encourage others to do the same.

What Is The True Cost of Gasoline?
Jun 22, 2011
"What's the price of gasoline? In the U.S. it's about $4 a gallon. But some experts say the true price of gas is much higher. What about the costs of pollution, and the global and local problems caused by it? Who pays for those? This animated feature from the Center for Investigative Reporting calculates the carbon footprint and other "external costs" of gasoline use in the U.S."
I would double the price again, due to pollution of waterways, soil and underground aquifers. Just take the recent reports of a tiny amount of pollutant from gasoline getting into drinking water supplies, making it undrinkable... What cost is attached to not having any water to drink or bathe in? Again, the same issue applies to fracking.. getting natural gas out of the ground involves polluting underground water supplies. 
.............................................................................................
This article also ignores the cost of CO2 and global warming caused by carbon fuels. The damage caused by just one huge storm can bankrupt a whole country and throw it back into the stone age. The effect that climate change has is GLOBAL, so we cannot figure out the cost per person by state or local city. The cost we pay is GLOBAL, in increased storms, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, and more destruction caused by these bigger storms. I doubt that they figured this into the cost.

Finders fees: a legal nonlicensee referral service
Jan 14, 2010

"Licensed brokers and sales agents owe fiduciary duties to the principals they represent. Fiduciary dutiesrequire licensees to perform on behalf of their client with the utmost care and diligence.

An unlicensed finder has no such fiduciary duty. A finder’s function as an “agent” is limited to soliciting, identifying, and referring potential real estate clients or participants to brokers, agents, or principals in exchange for the promise of a fee.

A finder working for a principal is distinguished from a licensed broker working for a principal. Limitations are placed on the conduct of a finder. A finder lacks legal authority to participate in any aspect of property information dissemination or other transactional negotiations. [Calif. Business and Professions Code§§10130 et seq.]

Although not licensed by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) or admitted as members of a real estate trade association, finders are authorized by California statute to solicit prospective buyers, sellers, borrowers, lenders, tenants, or landlords for referral to real estate licensees or principals. Thus, they provide leads about individuals who may become participants in real estate transactions..................."

Manufactured Homes And Communities Go Upscale
Nov 21, 2009

"Payne Creek Village is like many subdivisions - speed-bump-quietened roads with names such as Quail Run, Fawn Lane and Mallard Drive. A brick entrance monument greets visitors adjacent to the management office.

By the numbers
Cost Comparisons between New Site-Built and Manufactured Homes
(Site-Built excludes land; Manufactured include installation costs)

Site-built average price:
2000: $159,524 ($70.43 per square foot)
2006: $225,927 ($91.99 per square foot)

Single-section manufactured average price:
2000: $30,200 ($26.73 per square foot)
2006: $35,900 ($32.64 per square foot)
Street lights dot the roads that lead to a community playground. Evergreens edge the subdivision and rows of red maples are found within. Most homes have three bedrooms and two baths. It also has a home of the month award....."
