Thank you, CALIFORNIA VOTERS!

Thank you volunteers and donors for making this a true grassroots effort to see through all the smoke and mirrors that PG&E tried to fleece us with that wolf in sheep's clothing trick once again. Congratulations!!!

It was your wisdom and clarity that saw through PG&E's message spin and misconceptions trying to fool you into giving up your unalienable right to vote, and self-determination as a municipality to choose who you buy your electricity from.

Don't think for a moment that PG&E will stop trying to convince you. If your community is seeking to cede from PG&E, start a Community Choice Aggregation Program, join another power company like SMUD or LA Public Power or actually go public power yourselves, please do feel free to contact us for help. We are happy to do so.

Don't forget! PG&E has filed for a 30% rate increase in January 2011 and the defective Smartmeter debacle still reigns on. Keep attending the CPUC Public Participation Hearings and voicing your opinion that your want a voice on what PG&E with its sweetheart local franchise agreement does with YOUR ratepayer money.

Best to all of us in the future.

Yours in solidarity.

Why Should You Oppose Proposition 16?

  • It LOCKS in PG&E's MONOPOLY by killing competition. By subverting the initiative process, PG&E’s monopoly will be enshrined within the Constitution. A 2/3 majority approval is not a one person, one vote system. It gives opponents twice as much voting power as proponents, and we’ve seen how the 2/3 voting threshold has crippled the California state budget process.

  • It FORCES consumers to pay PG&E's endlessly RISING, COSTLY RATES. Without a competitive market, consumers are shackled to PG&E, which has the highest rates in California. In addition, PG&E has already begun 2010 with one rate hike and plans nine others totaling over $4 billion that would raise rates 30%, hurting residential and commercial customers.

  • It THREATENS the future of green jobs, CLEAN ENERGY, and clean air. Prop 16 undermines local renewable energy development and the business growth associated with it. It also imposes PG&E's fossil fuel pollutants and greenhouse gases on Bay Area communities.

PG&E plans to spend at least $30 million

of rate payer money on Prop. 16 named the “New Two-Thirds Requirement for Local Public Electricity Providers.” Amending the California Constitution, Prop 16 would force your local community to seek 2/3 voter approval in order to switch to a cleaner, lower cost, alternative utility provider. Prop. 16 would lock PG&E’s monopoly into constitutional law.
