Dear FSC Supporter:

As part of the No on Government Waste Committee, I wanted to send a message to supporters and partners of FSC and give you an update on the campaign and the work that still needs to be done. I?m sure you all read that I have been brought on as the communications director for the campaign. Me?a conservative Republican and former spokesman to people like President George H.W. Bush and Gov. Pete Wilson. Why would I take this cause up?

Because like any conservative, I oppose lame efforts to regulate businesses that already do a better job of regulating themselves. I oppose creating new government bureaucracies that will surely waste taxpayer dollars. And I oppose powerful groups such as AIDS Healthcare Foundation taking on the role of a shadow government, imposing regulatory fiat at will, with no accountability from voters.

In fact, you can listen in to Larry Mantle?s show on KPCC-FM 89.3 at 11:30 AM to noon today where I will be debating Michael Weinstein on Measure B! http://www.scpr.org/programs/airtalk/ Be sure to check out the show?s social media links (they?re listed on the page) and post your comments and reactions to what Michael says!

Measure B is only the very first step in what is sure to be a nationwide campaign to push your industry further and further into a corner where basic decisions such as where you can film, how you can produce a film and even what you can do in a film will become more and more regulated.

The odds are daunting. There are over 4 million voters in the County of Los Angeles. In the last statewide election in 2010, over 3 million went to the polls and voted, of those 3 million people, almost a third of them, 700,000 voters, voted by absentee ballot well before Election Day. What does that mean to you?

It means that voting has already begun as absentee ballots get mailed to voters this week.

This fight is not going to be waged in the San Fernando Valley or even in the City of Los Angeles. It?s going to be waged for voters in Long Beach, Pasadena, Whittier, Norwalk, Monterey Park and countless other cities far removed from your industry?s base, who have very little exposure and understanding of what you do, but in order to defeat this measure, each and every one of you needs to stand up and get involved.

There are countless ways you can help in this campaign:

? Make a donation today: Even if it?s $50, if everyone on this email list pitched in with a minimal contribution, the campaign would be able to match the AIDS Healthcare Foundation ad for ad!
? Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper: In 250 words explain to them and their readers why this measure is so unnecessary, how it will waste taxpayer dollars and force jobs out of the a county with 12% unemployment. And not all letters need to go to the LA Times. They can do to the Santa Monica Mirror, Pasadena Star News, Long Beach Press Telegram, Downtown News, there are tons of newspapers voters read every day! Also, post comments on these news websites every time a story appears on Measure B
? Post links on your social media network: Engage on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, Pinterest and all the other social networks you belong to. Retweet the campaign?s tweets, share our Facebook postings, post responses and replies to those supporting Measure B
? Talk to a friend or neighbor: Get them involved, spread the word, get them to contribute $10 or $25, get them to promise to talk to five other friends
? Register to vote: The deadline for online voter registration is Oct. 22. If you are not registered to vote, do so today!
? Send an email blast to your contact list: Tell people to take a stand against Measure B and remember to vote against it
? Shoot a webcam video and post it on YouTube and your Facebook page explaining why you are opposed to Measure B
? Stand on a corner on a busy intersection and hold up a sign that says ?Vote NO on Measure B, Stop Government Waste!?

Defeating Measure B comes down to you. It?s not glamorous work. It?s hard, time consuming and often tedious, but at the end of the day we need to reach 1.5 million people in this county and convince them that Measure B is complete waste of money, does nothing to safeguard public health and in fact will drive jobs out of the county and put performers health at increased risk.
