California Civil Rights Initiative ALUPG 605 CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONTRA COSTA CO. August 14, 1995 Honorable Gayle Bishop Contra Costa Board of Supervisors 651 Pine St., Room 106 Martinez, CA 94553 Dear Supervisor Bishop: On August 7, Dr. Glynn Custred and Dr. Thomas Wood, Co-Authors of the California Civil Rights Initiative filed our proposed constitutional amendment with the Attorney General's Office for title and summary. The California Civil Rights Initiative states: - "The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting." California residents will now have the opportunity to lead our nation in an historic effort to end discrimination, quotas and preferences. The time has come for all California residents who believe in true civil rights to overturn the civil wrongs which exist in our state government's system of employment, education and contracting. A majority of Democrats, Republicans and members of other parties support the proposed California Civil Rights Initiative which we will qualify for a vote of the people on the November, 1996 general election ballot. As an elected representative, we are urging your public participation in and support of this initiative.
