 Dear Air Resources Board:

The people of California have voted and Proposition 23 passed. Why
are oil companies trying to circumvent the peoples' decision? Why
are YOU even considering  going against the will of the voters?

Oil and gas pollute our lives, our lungs and apparently our legal
system. Please don't tell us that this is about jobs, because
really, it is about our health, which is a wonderful thing and
often taken for granted until people lose it.

You, BOARD, have an obligation to the people of this state, and
even more, you have an obligation to the planet. Yes, we all do
share the same air. What pollutes in one place will soon travel 
and  pass to the rest of the world. What you decide will affect the
climate of this state,  this planet and our collective future.

I read once that a molecule once breathed in by Leonardo Da Vinci
is still with us, and maybe you and I have breathed  in one and the
same molecule. What a wonderful reminder this is to show  that WE 
of the earth all share the past, present and future of the planet.

In your PRESENT state, please decide for the POSITIVE future of
all. Like Da Vinci's,  MONA LISA, we aren't quite sure what is
being thought, what will she or YOU  do in the next moment? What
will YOU do in this next momentous decision?

SUPPORT the People, the Planet and Nature herself. To bend to the
will of the oil companies is to send us all hacking,  coughing and
dying  and on to a future LAST SUPPER, and we all know how that
ended.
