A Better San Diego Coalition presents a No on Proposition 32 Community Discussion Forum


EVENT:         
A Better San Diego Breakfast Forum – No on Prop 32. Dubbed the Special Exemptions Act, Proposition 32 aims to give corporate interests exclusive access to big-money influence in politics and its proponents are relying on deception to sneak it past voters. Speakers, representing a wide range of organizations, will explain the truth behind Proposition 32, explore what's at stake, and discuss why it's important for our economy, environmental advocacy, and the push for good government to stop Proposition 32 in November 2012.

Willie Pelote, Assistant Director, Political Action Department, AFSCME International;
Diane Takvorian, Executive Director, Environmental Health Coalition;
