Prop16 - to Reinstate Affirmative Action has Lost by 12%. The Yes16 campaign's 20 million donations from handful elite donors and long list of endorsements including state teachers' and nurses' unions, United Airlines, PG&E, UC Regents, weren't enough to push Prop 16 to victory.
We won by a huge margin. Truth has won. David struck down Goliath.
We just made national history:
-$1.8 million vs. $22 million
-Genuine, broad-based alliance vs. The political establishment
-Facts vs. Propaganda
-True believers vs. Opportunists
Go Team No on 16!
Some people are angry this morning.
I’m singing.
“The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
of people passing by.
I see babies crying
I’ll watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll ever know.
And I think to myself,
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!”
