【行动】抗击种族歧视恶法ACA7，签署在线情愿书
以下是在2020年加州反16号提案的”No on Prop 16"竞选团队的联合主席，圣地亚哥大学法学教授Gail Heriot (推特：@GailHeriot）在InstaPundit发出的一份公开信，号召大家尽快签署NoACA7在线情愿书（点击下图也可），此事关加州宪法中的平等权利条款（1996年的209提案）的安危，请大家广传！ （点击图片进行在线签名） 我需要更多帮助来阻止加州立法机构的权力扩张：上周，我在Instapundit向读者请求在反对加州立法机构试图削弱第209号提案的新努力方面提供“X/Twitter”帮助。你们做到了！感谢所有帮助的人！你们太棒了！ 我有另一个请求。幸运的是，这仍然不会花费你一分钱。（如果这个愚蠢的法案通过了全民公投，那时我会开始要捐款，但我们有很大机会在加利福尼亚参议院就阻止它。） 我们的“反对ACA7”的请愿（change.org/VoteNoOnACA7）需要至少25,000个签名才能引起注意。我们可能还需要更多。幸运的是，我们还有一段时间。今天是我们第一个认真收集签名的日子。您不需要是加州人就可以签名。（但如果您是加州人，请务必包括您的邮政编码。在过去，一些立法者要求我们提供来自他们选区邮政编码的签名人数。） 如果您还能将请愿书与您的朋友或通过社交媒体分享，那将会很棒。（我们使用的社交媒体Hashtags：#KeepDiscriminationIllegal #NoACA7 #NoACA7photoparade #ACA7 will be defeated the same way as #prop16.） (我们人民10倍行动！） 对于那些还没有关注这个问题的人来说，209号提案于1996年通过修宪，其中包括这些措辞：“州不得因种族、性别、肤色、种族或国籍而对个人或群体进行歧视或给予优惠待遇......”加州的深蓝色立法机构一直在争取废除它。他们三年前试图通过第16号提案废除它。但是加州人的压倒性投票选择了保留了宝贵的209提案内容，这让加州左派立法者们感到震惊。那是一个真正的大卫与歌利亚对战时刻；尽管对手的支出超过了我们的14倍，我们仍然赢得了胜利。 （加州宪法中209号提案内容） 对我来说，他们这么快又再次尝试令我感到惊讶。但我想我应该已经预料到了。加州赔偿问题特别委员会今年早些时候发布的报告要求削弱209号提案。它阻碍了他们的提案。就如期待的那样，加州议会投票支持了ACA7。 这次的新尝试更加狡猾。它不是试图直接废除，而是创建了一种操作，另州长可以制定“例外”。纽森州长（以及未来的州长）所需要的只是能够指出（或创建）显示种族偏好（和歧视）将是一件好事的“研究”。但在目前这个社会，任何颠覆现实，指鹿为马的“学术”研究成果都有可能横空出世，对于政府支持的种族歧视项目来说，这样的限制条件将是不值一文。 （Gail Heriot教授） Prof. Gail Heriot“NO on ACA7 ”主席 （2024）“No on Prop 16" 联合主席 （2020）“Yes on Prop 209" 联合主席...
