SD-23: Vote for Pavley or the Polar Bear Gets it

I really like Fran Pavley, and have enormous respect for her. She's running in a tight race with Asm. Lloyd Levine for SD-23.  And, fortunately, the former Assembly Leader doesn't have to take credit for this horrendous website and the accompanying mailers.  This is an Independent Expenditure (IE) by EdVoice with the mailing address of a law firm up in Marin. I'm not totally sure what EdVoice, an education group is doing sending out environmental mail, but let's just go with it.

In short, the mailer says, you better vote for Fran Pavley or the Polar Bears are all going to die. The other mailers displayed on the website's "Gallery" are not so egregious, but they are all based upon this "carbon-free" concept. David Dayen, who lives in the district, points out that he's now received  several mailers from the group, which undercuts the "Carbon-free" argument. Sending 5 mailers and offsetting one absentee vote.  I'll let others think about the math on that one.

With this, and Arnold's Great Honor, it is really turning out to be a banner day in California politics. Oh, and Karen Bass is being sworn in today as the first African-American female Speaker in any of the United States.
