www.TraditionalValuesVoter.org “WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO” Traditional Values Coalition – Education and Legal Institute Educating to Defend Traditional Family Values Our Vision is to turn our country back to God Thereby preserving Biblical Principles regarding:

4 Sanctity of Life – We believe in the sacredness of life for every innocent human being from conception to natural death (Jer.1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…”)

4 Purity in Marriage – We are instructed in the Bible by the infallible, Holy Spirit-inspired word of God; marriage shall be one flesh between one man and one woman (Gen. 2:23 … “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh…”)

4 Religious Liberties – Preserving our freedom to live out our beliefs. God has given us free will to accept or reject Him, we should carry out the same freedom in our country.

Commitment and Sacrifice For the last 40 years, Rev. Lou and Beverly Sheldon have been strong voices for traditional family values. They have committed their lives and sacrificed to preserve biblical principles that have been the cornerstone of America since its foundation.

Traditional Values Coalition - Education and Legal Institute educates voters on how to act and make their voices heard.

TVC – ELI is dedicated to protecting religious freedoms and traditional family values. The California Voter Guide will empower you as a voter with the knowledge needed to make a lasting moral impact on public policy. Rev.

Would authorize the sale of $4 billion in bonds to finance existing housing programs, as well as infrastructure work and grants to match a local housing trust fund dollar-to-dollar. *Borrowing $4 billion to fund affordable housing construction ($3 billion) and to subsidize home loans for veterans ($1 billion). Will increase state costs $170 million per year for 35 years.

VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 2 Millionaire’s Tax Revenue for Homelessness Prevention Housing Bonds Measure Authorizes the state to use revenue from Proposition 63 (2004)—a 1 percent tax on income above $1 million for mental health services—on $2 billion in revenue bonds for homelessness prevention housing for persons in need of mental health services.

VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 3 Authorizes Bonds to Fund Projects for Water Supply and Quality, Watershed, Fish, Wildlife, Water Conveyance, and Groundwater Sustainability and Storage. $8.9 billion bond. On June 5th, California voters passed a $4.1 billion bond to fund water infrastructure improvements and new parks. Will cost California $435 million a year for next 40 years.

VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 4 Authorizes Bonds Funding Construction at Hospitals Providing Children’s Health Care. Authorizes (to borrow) $1.5 billion to expand and upgrade hospitals that treat children. Similar to the $750 million bond that voters approved in 2004 and the $980 million approved in 2008. Would cost state an estimated $80 million annually for 35 years, or $2.9 billion total cost with interest.

VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 5 Changes Requirements for Certain Property Owners to Transfer their Property Tax Base to Replacement Property. Would allow older or disabled homeowners to take their lowered property tax base with them when they move.

VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 6 2017 Tax Repeal Initiative and Voter Approval for FUTURE Gas and Vehicle Taxes. The ballot initiative would repeal the gas and diesel tax increases and vehicle fees that were enacted in 2017 and require voter approval for fuel tax and vehicle fee increases in the future.

Allows Legislature to Change Daylight Saving Time Period. Conforms California Daylight Saving Time to Federal Law. Allows Legislature to Change Daylight Saving Time Period.

VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 8 Regulates Amounts Outpatient Kidney Dialysis Clinics Charge for Dialysis Treatment. Would require dialysis clinics to pay back insurers any profits over 15 percent of qualifying business costs. Sponsored by United Healthcare Workers union. Would drive up costs, harming dialysis businesses and ultimately, patients.

VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 10 Expands Local Governments Authority to Enact Rent Control on Residential Propery. Bill would allow cities to introduce new restrictions on rents or expand existing rent control. Current state law prohibits cities from enacting new rent control laws or expanding existing regulations on new properties. Advocates want to stem the affordable housing “crisis” by allowing cities to cap rents. NO: Rent control deters new housing construction and some property owners would remove their property from the market leading to LESS affordable housing, not more. VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION 11 Requires Private-Sector Emergency Ambulance Employees to Remain On-Call During Work Breaks. Elminates Certain Employer Liability. Bill would allow private ambulance services to require their emergency medical personnel to be on-call during meal and rest breaks. Backed by the EMT industry.

VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 12 Establishes New Standards for Confinement of Specified Farm Animals; Bans Sale of Noncomplying products. Would require bigger cages for farm animals. Would also require that all egg-laying hens be raised “cage-free.” These requirements would apply to anyone selling related food products in California, even if the farms are out of state NO: Would require costly upgrades to many farms and could potentially drive some farmers out of business. These new rules would also lead to higher food prices.
