2014-02-27 17:34:59 by 加州鱼郎

只是暂时搁置，并没有废弃。我们还要继续抗争，知道完全废弃这个提案。

亚裔同胞们，尊敬的五毛们，五分们，左中右们，民运法论功们，藏独疆独台独们，中日韩越菲印们，我们要联合起来，拿出一点点时间，上街参加游行，给议院写信，发出您的心声，表达您的愤怒！

【附录4】给议员写信的样板

Dear California State Assembly Members：

1/30/2014 marked one of the darkest days in California’s
recent history of politics. On this day, the California Senate, controlled by
the Democratic supermajority, approved Senate Constitution Amendment No. 5 (SCA
5), which would repeal provisions of Prop 209 and allow the State of California
to deny an individual or group's rights to public education on the basis of
race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.

To understand SCA 5, we have to remember what Prop. 209 is.
In November 1996, Proposition 209 (also known as the California Civil Rights
Initiative) amended the state constitution to prohibit state government
institutions from discriminating against, or granting preferential treatment to, any individual or
group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the
operation of public employment , public education, or public contracting. In the 18 years that Prop 209 has been in
effect, California has become the most diversified state in the US. Also, we
fully support comprehensive measures having since been introduced to help
students from disadvantaged families obtain higher education.

Now SCA 5 seeks to REMOVE any mentioning of “public
education” in Prop. 209. The bill even wants to REMOVE University of California
and public schools from the definition of State Government Institutions. This
will unfairly roll back the clock to discriminate a student simply based on
her/his race. If it succeeds, what will be next in its supporters’ minds to be
removed between other two areas (public employment and public contracting) in
Prop. 209?

The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution clearly states
that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of its laws. The SCA 5 is racist and in violation of the US Constitution.

We hereby urge you to vote NO to SCA 5!

Sincerely,

[Your name]
