On the recordSeptember 28, 1995
if we want to represent that somehow the pure view and motives of the California voting public was overruled, and I am suggesting to the gentleman that we are all residents in California and we watched this process. The initiative process is the most manipulative process because usually it is bankrolled by tens of millions of dollars by people who want to change the rules of the game one way or another because they were not successful in the legislature for one reason or another. Mr. Chairman, this is not just Polly Purebreath and her friends coming out and saying, we want to do this for the good of society. It does not happen that way, because most of those people cannot gather the signatures because the legislature makes them get more and more signatures, which means citizens have to have more money, and the gentleman knows that.
