Please take the time to write your letters today or tomorrow and fax them to each of the senate committee members. Levine is playing very dirty and has had it moved up from 8/04 to try to squeeze US out of the legislative process
Them PLEASE email a one or two line opposition statement to Gail Burnham who will hand carry it to the Committee on Friday. Her information can be found at the end of this e-mail

Please Do ASAP - Time is of the Essence!
Patricia Gail Burnham has generously offered to make copies and hand deliver our opposition letters to the Appropriations Committee as well as to all 15 Senators on the Committee plus Senator Don Perata (Senate President Pro Tem) and Senator Darrell Steinberg (soon to be Senate President Pro Tem). She'll need everything that you want delivered emailed to her by 8 AM Friday, 7/11/08 <pgburnham@juno.com>. She'll take care of having Kinkos make copies and will hand deliver them to the State Capitol. See forwarded email below.
We're also forwarding letters she wrote to:
Senator Cox (her State Senator) this evening, to complain about the Appropriations Committee staff's decision to disenfranchise opponents AB1634.
Local Government Committee (and to Senator Darrell Steinberg) on 6/22 to oppose AB1634.
Email and fax information for the 15 Senators plus the 2 Presidents Pro Tem are pasted at the bottom of this email for those of you that plan to do your own faxing or emailing to the Senators. We're also forwarding an email reply from Senator George Runner (our State Senator).
We were able to find out the email addresses for the Appropriations Committee's Staff Director and bill consultant's:
- Mark McKenzie <Mark.McKenzie@sen.ca.gov>, Bill Consultant
- Bob Franzoia <Bob.Franzoia@sen.ca.gov>, Staff Director
To: Senate Appropriations Committee
Since the committee staff have treated us so contemptuously, we urge EVERYONE to FLOOD Mark McKenzie and Bob Franzoia with Opposition emails, just so we will all leave an audit trail of opposition emails. Email them even if you're having Gail Burnham deliver it in person. As the committee staff already told us they have no intention of reading anything we have to say, keep your opposition letter to one or 2 lines. This is strictly for the official record even though they're trying their best to not let us be counted. You can send the same letter to the Senators if you don't have time to write in details - just send the email to the Senators and cc the following 2 email addresses:
EVERYBODY, Please send the following email to:
<Mark.McKenzie@sen.ca.gov>, <Bob.Franzoia@sen.ca.gov>
Subject: AB 1634 as amended July 1, 2008 - OPPOSED
Dear Honorable Members of the Senate Appropriations Committee:
AB 1634 will severely damage California's travel and tourism business. The state budget is already in crisis. California cannot afford a huge blow to its state tax revenues. Vote NO on AB1634.
Sincerely,
you name
Patricia Gail Burnham's emails are forwarded below in reverse chronological order. Contact information for Senators are at the bottom of this email. Thank you. BIG Thanks to Gail for the very generous offer and for sharing her thoughtful letters.
