Re: Tuff Fish\'s proposal cleared by CA Sec. of State for petition circ

What would be the process of removing the multitabling provisions? Another initiative? I would vote No still strictly on that if I were in California, even if I know I can run VM, gotomypc, or run multiple machines to get around it, its still the nittiest, gayest, stubbornest provision imaginable. Why would he alienate his biggest supporters in such a way? And, someone has to lobby the unions, they can kill almost anything. The indians and the cardrooms are hard enough to fight, but add in a voting bloc, its DOA. Fixing potholes? Come on, find a better place for the revenue stream to go and get some allies.

It was originally for teachers, and you see how grateful they are. Again, my comment was if it makes the ballot. We may be better off if it doesn't go anywhere.
It's hard to see how he could get anywhere near 430,000 signatures. He thinks he can get this just on the Internet. I have news for him. I spent a month doing as much as I could to get poker players to sign the Internet petition to repeal UIGEA. I estimated that I was able to get 1,800 signatures more than it would have gotten without our efforts here. I can't imagine how he can get 220x that from one state, when poker player support for him is lukewarm at best. Still, if he manages this without torquing us any more than he already has, and if there isn't a better bill, I'll support it.
