‘Save Our State from the Bungling Billionaires’
Nurses,
Teachers, Scour Yacht Club Tuesday to Expose Secret Wealthy Donors to
Anti-Prop. 30 Campaign
SAN FRANCISCO-California nurses, teachers, and responsible
business individuals will pay a visit to the posh St. Francis Yacht Club on the
aptly named Yacht Road in San Francisco Tuesday in what promises to be a
colorful event to shine a spotlight on the secretive wealthy donors who are
bankrolling the campaign to defeat Proposition 30.
The Tuesday action will include a yacht, SOS life rings, and
actors playing the role of the
four mega-rich venture capitalists who recently formed a committee
deceptively named “Californians for Reforms and Jobs Not Taxes Campaign” to
defeat Proposition 30 on the November ballot.
Committee members include Floyd Kvamme, GOP donor and part
of a committee fined by the Federal Elections Committee after the 2004 election;
David Marquardt and Mark Stevens, venture capitalist donors to Mitt Romney and
George W. Bush; and John Cox, fringe candidate for president in 2008, whose PAC
has taken money from Phillip Morris.

“These amateur multimillionaires are playing with our state's
future like they play with their yachts and other toys,” said Malinda
Markowitz, RN, and a co-president of the California Nurses Association/National
Nurses United. “Why are they funneling hordes of cash against a campaign to
protect our schools, our healthcare safety net, and other vital California
services simply to avoid paying a little more of their fair share?”
