Please Make Time for the Home Stretch to Defeat Levine **

** Please tell all your pet loving friends within driving distance of
southern CA **

The Democratic Primary Election is this coming Tuesday (June 3rd). Please
help defeat Lloyd Levine. Please make several hours available to volunteer
to help Fran Pavley's campaign on any of the following days (starting at
10am):
Saturday, 5/31
Sunday, 6/1
Monday, 6/2
Tuesday, 6/3 (election day)

The Pavley (pronounced Pah-v-ley) campaign will be launching their "get out
the votes" targeted ground canvass beginning this Saturday (5/31) morning at
10am. If you can spare a few hours during any of the days listed above,
please volunteer to help with this very important "home stretch" of the
campaign!

Fran Pavley is still ahead of Levine in an independent poll - but polls
don't always translate into votes unless voters turn out to vote. During
the past week or two, Levine has been sending out campaign letters full of
lies to voters in the 23rd Senate District to try to smear Pavley. We Need
to get the voters out to vote for Pavley, against Levine, especially since
the big labor unions will be getting their members out to vote for Levine!
We can't afford to let Levine get into the State Senate!!

Many of us won't think twice about driving long distances and spending a
whole weekend or longer going to dog or cat shows/events. Please take some
time this weekend or Monday or Tuesday to help make a big push to defeat
Levine. If Levine gets into the State Senate, there won't be many more dog
or cat events we'll be able to enjoy attending. In fact, we probably won't
be allowed to enjoy our dogs and cats much longer if Levine gets his way.

Please contact Pavley's Campaign Office manager Daniel Tamm at (818)992-9015
or (818)795-1455 (cell) or email <danieltamm@gmail.com>
<mailto:danieltamm@gmail.com> for details.

In case you're interested, pasted below are claims Lloyd Levine highlighted
in one of his campaign brochures (we'll spare you the pictures.) Note under
the "Healthy Pets Act" section - he again tries to deceive voters by
claiming "The legislation is supported by the Humane Society and 300 other
organizations." By saying the Humane Society instead of The Humane Society
of the United States (HSUS), Levine implies that AB1634 is supported by
everyone's local Humane Society. He knows very well that HSUS is NOT
affiliated with any local Humane Society that runs pet shelters!

By the way, there is a William F. Mancuso listed on HSUS's Board of
Directors <http://hsus.org/about_us/board_and_staff/>
<http://hsus.org/about_us/board_and_staff/> . Any relation to Judie
Mancuso???

One of Lloyd Levine's Campaign Brochures - May 2008:

PEOPLE TOLD US IT WAS A LOST CAUSE

LLOYD LEVINE HAS MADE "LOST CAUSES" HIS CAUSE!

When Lloyd Levine was elected to the State Assembly, he had some things he
wanted to accomplish Protecting public education funding, raising the
minimum wage, fighting for affordable health care, protecting our
environment and protecting people's civil liberties were at the top of his
list. And he's worked hard on these.

Lloyd also decided that when folks he represented come to him with issues
they cared about, he'd use his position in the Democratic Leadership to see
if he could find solutions to their concerns, problems and ideas for new
laws. Here are a few real stories from Lloyd Levine's years of service:

SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS FUNDING

"As a parent of a son with severe autism who is now an adult, I realize how
critical early intervention and special education is. I applaud Lloyd for
his efforts and thank him for his leadership."

CONNIE LAPIN
Parent

When California was in jeopardy of losing federal funding for special
education programs for K-1 2, Assemblymember Levine wrote the low that
secured $1 billion in federal dollars annually for special education
programs.

ENERGY EFFICIENT STANDARDS

'When Lloyd Levine pushed for a ban on all incandescent light bulbs by 2012,
some people said he was moving too fast and was reaching too far. But the
law he was pushing would mean reducing energy use for lighting by 450% -
what a huge improvement to air quality that would mean! We all say we want
energy efficiency, and are worried about global warming - Lloyd pushed the
envelope and I say keep at it Lloyd."

MARK ANDERSON
Program Manager
Energy Trek/One Billion Bulbs

Lloyd Levine has been at the forefront of energy efficient standards for
household light bulbs. His first plain to phase out all incandescent bulbs
by 2012 in favor of fluorescent bulbs would have reduced energy use by 450%
or 1.82 million tons of C02 a year Some people sold he was pushing too hard
- mandating a change in behavior was too hard. But he kept working until a
low that will produce 50% less energy use was signed.

HEALTHY PETS ACT

"We came to Lloyd Levine with a daunting crisis. Loving animals are being
killed every day in shelters, simply because, there are too many abandoned
animals and not enough homes for them all. Lloyd compassionately listened,
understood, and went to work to help solve this crisis. Boy has he taken
heat on this issue, but not from animal lovers who can't thank him enough."

HAZE LYNN
Santa Monica

Uncontrolled dog and cat overpopulation costs $250,000,000 and forces
officials to euthanize 500,000 puppies, kittens and mature animals every
year Lloyd's Healthy Pets Act (AB 1634) requires the spaying and neutering
of cats and dogs unless they're licensed for breeding. The legislation is
supported by the Humane Society and 300 other organizations.

SAFE PLACE TO LEARN ACT

"Fitting into the high school social scene is never easy - but for kids just
recognizing their sexual orientation, it's even harder. Equality California
went to Lloyd and asked him to help kids who were being harassed on school
campuses.

I will be forever grateful to Lloyd for taking on an issue most elected
officials wouldn't have even tried. His perseverance paid off for us big
time and his law now protects high school kids like Destiny. Thank you
Lloyd."

MICHAEL J. FERRERA, MA
Resident and Executive Director
LifeWorks

The Safe Place to Learn Act successfully authored by Lloyd Levine, combats
discrimination and harassment of students on school campuses. A 2004 study
by the California Safe Schools Coalition revealed that 60% of school
districts did not have policies that prevent harassment based on gender
identity, appearance or behavior Levine's low requires school districts to
enforce California's anti-discrimination and anti-harassment low,

CALIFORNIA COMPASSIONATE CHOICES ACT

"I can't thank Lloyd Levine enough for taking on the 'Death with Dignity'
issue. I know it's controversial, and I know some people don't agree, but
for me and my family, it would have made a big difference for my late wife,
Lloyd says he won't stop fighting until he can win support to make his
legislation a reality. I'm supporting Lloyd for the State Senate."

BENNETT DOLIN
Encino

Lloyd Levine is leading the fight to allow people who are terminally Ill to
have Choices when their lives end. The Berg/Levine "Death with Dignity" bill
and the subsequent "California Compassionate Choices Act" were inspired by
Oregon's successful low that's been in existence for 10 years.

PLASTIC BAGS RECYCLING LAW

"I was pretty upset when I saw that the Los Angeles Times criticized Lloyd
Levine's plastic bag recycling law.

Especially since our organization believes it is the most important plastics
recycling bill of the last 20 years. We went to Lloyd Levine and asked for
his help to make the Plastic Rags Recycling Law a reality.

He went to work and his work paid off. And he's still at it! We can't thank
him enough for taking the heat and making our goal a reality."

MARK MURRAY
Californian's Against Waste

In 2006 Lloyd Levine successfully passed the plastic bag$ recycling law
requiring stores to establish in-store plastic bag recycling programs He has
since introduced AB 2058 to set tough goals for recycling and to claw stores
to charge a 15 cent per bag fee if the goals are not met.
