As it stands now, close to 8 million voters could be at the mercy of these faulty, unreliable and decertified machines. Californians deserve to go to the polls knowing that their vote will be counted, not discarded.

Our prayer and God's mercy are like two buckets in a well; while the one ascends the other descends.

[It is] not a matter for individual states to attempt to formulate their own rules and procedures. School teachers and doctors are not substitutes for INS agents.

[But the ACLU argues that ending assistance to women and minorities will open the door to the discrimination that affirmative action was intended to remedy. In 1978,] The City of Los Angeles gave 2 percent of its contracts to minority and women business enterprises. Sacramento gave zero percent. Now those numbers are up to 10-15 percent, ... It (Proposition 209) is really resegregation in California.

We know there are 26 other states looking at resolutions or legislation like Prop. 209. Certainly this is a case that the Supreme Court ought to have the final word on.

This is a military and executive scandal.
