California | Government & Elections | Poverty & HousingProp 86 under attack from Tobacco Profiteers
The tobacco profiteers have signs at many corner grocers against Prop 86 as Prop 86 will raise the taxes on tobacco, a great way to get children to never take up the habit. Most smokers start before age 18. The proposition is a great boost to the campaign to rid this society of tobacco without making it illegal, and improving the health of all of us.

The very idea of promoting a poisonous substance is outrageous, and the sooner we can get young people to never start smoking, the better. See the Yes on 86 website for all the information on this ballot proposition and its many endorsers at http://www.yesonprop86.org/ Do not fall for the tobacco profiteers' lies. This website covers every facet of the proposition and the whole proposition is good. And don't forget to also vote Yes on 87 and 89 and No on 85 and 90, as well as No on the rest of the state propositions. Prop 85 is an anti-abortion measure and Prop 90 could repeal rent control. For more on all the propositions, see the Calvoter website at: http://www.calvoter.org/voter/elections/2006/general/props/index.html Remember, November 7 is election day. You can still register to vote before October 23 at your County Registrar's office. In San Francisco, that is the basement of City Hall on the Van Ness side, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Be sure to also sign up to vote by mail so you can vote in the comfort of your own home on your time and not have to worry about voting on a Tuesday. Vote by mail (absentee voting) starts October 10. If you register to vote between October 10 and October 23, you can vote at the registrar's office the same day. When it comes to parties, remember there are only 2 peace parties on the ballot: Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party. In San Francisco, vote Yes on H to help tenants. For more on Prop H, see the San Francisco Tenants Union website at: http://www.sftu.org/ The San Francisco ballot, so far, is definitely Yes on Props F through K.
