As Jones points out, though, the defeat was inevitable without working-class support. The approach was seriously flawed because we thought that money, celebrity, and upper-middle-class support was all it needed to pass.

Most likely the result of all the hot air emanating from all the haut monde spots like Hollywood, San Francisco and Sacramento, et al. Julia, dearest, do keep quiet and the air quality will improve...markedly! “Says Julia, “We’re all victims of this state’s tragically poor air quality.”

The oil companies have contributed nearly $60 million dollars to stop the bill from going through, but activists — including celebrities like Julia Robers and hollywood producers like Stephen Bing — have raised close to $50 million to counteract the attack. Proposition 87 would tax companies drilling for oil in California until the state has generated $4 billion. The money would be set aside for loans, grants and subsidies to promote alternative fuels and more energy-efficient vehicles. Below is Gore’s commercial: [...] [...] Starring in his first commercial since running for President, Al Gore is pushing hard to support Proposition 87 up for vote soon in California.

Robert Redford has mass-blasted an email speaking out against California’s Proposition 90. Here is a short excerpt: Prop 90 is the single most dangerous threat that has ever been leveled at our state’s environment. As a native and long-time resident of California, I don’t say that lightly. Prop 90 will make it virtually impossible for our state and local governments to do their job of protecting the wildlife, wild lands and other natural resources that make California the special place that it is.   [...] [...] Boy, the celebs are coming out in full-force to let you know which way to vote.
