How much election cheating are you willing to put up with?

What if it's for an allegedly good cause? Does that change your answer?

Do you know all the public officials with duties related to local measure elections? County supervisors, registrar of voters, county counsel, school board that resolves to put measures on the ballots. A lot of public officials, most of them getting salaries you could never dream of.

Are these public officials corrupt? All of them?

Then how do you explain that at every election they all look the other way or point fingers at each other saying that "It's not my job to enforce measure election laws?"

How is it then, that all these public officials, who you pay, combined, millions of dollars a year, have never (never means not once) put a local measure on the ballot that follows the law? http://bit.ly/GrandJury2021

Officials in counties other than Los Angeles, at least follow some of the laws. But the Los Angeles County Registrar is a law unto himself, and county counsel and the five queens (supes), let him go hog wild.

It's almost like it's a conspiracy. Because the public officials (school board) who start the ball rolling, violate every meaningful law with the knowledge, apparently, that all the other public officials will go along with their corruption.

There are too many broken laws to mention in 300 words, but you can check it out (http://bit.ly/ElectionCheating) for all the gory details.

Bottom line: All the public officials would rather have gullible voters force taxpayers, including themselves, to send every dollar they dream up to some government agency or another. It's more for them. Less for you.

Are you tired of been taken for a chump? Vote HELL NO! on Measure PCC ($1,130,000,000 [that's billion] tax).

Everything in ballot label is intended to deceive you. Dishonest by design. 

It's common knowledge that public unions control the entire public education system in California. Membership is voluntary since Janus v. AFSCME (2018) (https://www.leagle.com/decision/insco20180627f06). Are the district boards just union puppets?

Didn't they shut down your schools? Didn't they extort benefits? Didn't they crush learning progress? Didn't they destroy your children's social framework? Didn't they fill your children's minds with all manner of propaganda? Now they're coming for your money!

OVERSIGHT? It's a fraud. Citizen oversight ends when votes are cast. If you could trust the board, why would you need oversight?

STRICT ACCOUNTABILITY? Fraud number 2. There are no accountability police. When you're not looking, they do whatever they want.

PROJECT LIST? There is none. Measure ES includes everything under the sun. Read it.

ADMINISTRATOR SALARIES? Of course! Read the fine print!

Arguments and rebuttals are written by school bonds cartel agents. Signers are just stand-ins. http://bit.ly/ElectionCheating

Less than 15% of your taxes will go to facilities that will still be around by the time the bonds are paid off. (At least half goes to wealthy investors, right off the bat.)

The entire system is rigged to pass taxes. That's not just our opinion. http://bit.ly/GrandJury2021

Bottom line: Only undecided voters can be persuaded by arguments. 90% don't even read them. Undecideds determine the election. We need your help.

Vote HELL NO! on Measure PCC ($1,130,000,000 [that's billion] tax) and every measure on your ballot.

The incoherent argument against Measure PCC is full of conspiracy theories and false allegations. Theysubmitted nearly identical arguments against most ballot measures in Southern California without regard for the need or merits. It should be ignored.

The two opponents don't live in our area or understand the age of college classrooms, labs and job training facilities. They ignore Pasadena City College's important role providing affordable access to higher education and job training.

Consider these FACTS:

FACT: With the cost of universities skyrocketing, thousands of local high school graduates and other students rely on Pasadena City College to complete their first two years of college and job training affordably. Yes on PCC maintains affordable access to higher education and job training.

FACT: Pasadena City College trained and educated nurses, healthcare professionals, firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement officers, first responders, and other skilled workers. Yes on PCC keeps our communities healthy, safe, and our economy strong.

FACT: Most Pasadena City College facilities were built 50 to 100 years ago for a different era of education. Yes on PCC updates classrooms, science labs, job training facilities, and technology.

FACT: Every penny from Measure PCC must be spent to upgrade Pasadena City College facilities. The legally binding project list in your voter pamphlet details the use of funds. No funds can be taken by the State or used for administrator salaries. An independent citizens' oversight committee and annual audits are mandatory. Yes on PCC is fiscally responsible.

Don't be misled! Study the FACTS and join local students, teachers and other respected leaders in voting YES on PCC.
