Polling so far, is encouraging.
Here's the state's non-partisan analysis of the initiative. The revenue sections are very interesting and worth a read. http://www.lao.ca.gov/...
Election Impacts?
This should energize a certain base to get out and vote in November.
It will be interesting to see how this constituency helps or hurts the Senate and Gubernatorial races. Any predictions?
The campaign needs and is generating support from around the nation.

Here is today's announcement.
We are Proposition 19
I have some breaking news to share:
The Control & Tax Cannabis initiative was assigned proposition number 19 by the California Secretary of State.
This is a huge moment for our campaign -- and there's no better time than right now to make another contribution. Can you help us once again to keep the momentum going and educate voters about our brand new prop number?
Please make a generous contribution today to the Yes on 19 campaign -- and help us legalize marijuana in California!
When we officially got our proposition number, it really hit home for me: This campaign is now real. In four months, we'll be on the ballot, and millions of Californians will have the chance to vote to tax and legalize cannabis.
As we approach the election, we've got all the momentum. Whether you look on TV, Facebook, or in your community, it seems more and more folks realize we've got to seize this opportunity to legalize, control, and tax cannabis.
But do they all know yet that they can vote for it -- by voting YES on Prop 19 in November?
Chip in $19 or more today to the Yes on 19 campaign -- and help us educate voters about our new prop number.
I couldn't be more excited about our new prop number. Say it with me: Yes on 19!
Sincerely,
Richard Lee
Proponent, Yes on 19
