PROTEST SF HEALTH CUTS

In addition to all of the excellent demands above, all appearing should demand that the police department should have its budget cut so that the police force is cut from 2300 to 100. The police are incapable of fighting crime even if they had the best intentions, which they never do. Street crime is caused by poverty. The cure for street crime is decent-paying jobs. The one department that was not touched by budget cuts was the police department, and that is the department that must be cut drastically. The police should also be required to pay for all police brutality lawsuits out of their own budget instead of the general fund. The police should also not be allowed to work any overtime, except in times of city-wide emergency, such as an earthquake, at which time they could direct traffic at the major intersections that had no street lights. That was a major problem during and immediately after the 1989 earthquake.

A serious proposal for taxing the large corporations in San Francisco should be made at these hearings. We had a proposal on the ballot in 1994 (or so) which would have made the Financial District a tax district to tax the profits of the large corporations to pay for city services, from transportation to public health. That needs to be raised at all these hearings.

We could also have a city income tax for all people who reside or work in San Francisco and make over $100,000 per year.

Quite frankly, just cutting the police department down to 100 cops would solve most, if not all, the city's budget problems.

San Francisco is solving its budget crisis by attacking services for homeless, mentally ill, substance abusers, immigrant, and poor residents. Meanwhile, downtown business makes the crisis worse by not paying taxes and laying off workers. SAY NO TO HEALTH CUTS!

Do It Now! Stop Care Not Cash Fanatics

Please help stop the Board of Supervisors from enacting mis-nomered "Care Not Cash" initiative. Don't let SFs elite step-on and kick the poor to further their political careers. The "Care Not Cash" Campaign, aka Newsom for Mayor, is political fraud.

Please call and let the Board of Supervisors know that SFers do not support enacting mis-nomered divisive "Care-Not-Cash" initiative, a.k.a Newsom for Mayor Campaign.

Only 27.90% of all registered voters approved Prop N! (See below.) Proposition N did not pass with a mandate.

The supes know it, the care-givers know it, the non-profits servicing the poor know it, and we know it--- the funding and services to enact Prop N are not adequate nor available. Prop N is bankrupt morally and fiscally.

Furthermore, there are no funds to house the displaced San Franciscan seniors, Veterans, poor families and children, the terminally ill who will be kicked out of their housing placements to make room for enacting Prop N.

Write, Call or drop by! Stop SFs Power Elite from realizing their darkest fantasies of kicking and killing off SFs poor, disabled, seniors, homeless, the needy-- the "undesirables"--and calling it "Care?"

Stop Newsoms Lies! Stop Newoms Attack on SFs Poor!

Take some deep breaths, make sure you are properly attired and call a taxi. You need to seek some help,you poor thing. Do people follow you at night ? Are you troubled by episodes of delusional grandeur? Can you write and get angry without using profanity? Perhaps you should run for office. Think about it. A town in Texas is missing its' ........

They would if they knew where I was.
