DOWN ON MEASURE B

You can protect patients' rights to access and growing of medical
marijuana and also protect your environment, property values and way
of life in this beautiful foothill community. Measure A is OK-it
protects the rights of patients. Your supervisors support it
unanimously. It will stop abuses and protect residents from violence.

Measure B is bad-it allows large commercial growers to profit at the
expense of your community by allowing grow areas clearly meant for
profit in other states. It repeals public-safety protections against
grower abuse; allows grows near schools, parks and neighborhoods; and
eliminates local controls. It already has led to polluting the
environment, water theft, threats and violence.

We must stand together and reject the deception of those who wish to
destroy the reasons we chose to live here or we will regret the day we
remained silent. It's about quality of life and protection of
environment. Vote yes on A and no on B. Talk to your neighbors and get
them to vote, or the legacy we leave our children and our environment
will be a sad one. We can't afford to get this one wrong.
