How To Handle Deceptive Political Ads

Today, I used my First Amendment rights to make light and some fun of the pamphlet mailed to voters in Rancho Palos Verdes by the Yes on P 'militia'.

I think anyone and everyone who finds false and misleading information coming from any side of a political question should denounce such deception and offer proof and provide ammunition against the group who offered the false and misleading information in all means to deny that group's objectives.

For the Yes on P folks, it can be clearly demonstrated that they are doing just about whatever it takes to have on-campus student housing approved for the Marymount College campus.

As a side issue, they also want the zoning changed to become a campus specific plan zone so that the College can sign contracts with various companies to do things at Marymount that most voters still believe will be done more directly by Marymount's administration and direct representatives.

Dorms and the Campus Specific Plan are the two parts of The Marymount Plan that have not already been approved.

So, every ad that is produced, no matter what is contained in ads favoring Measure P and The Marymount Plan must be understood to be items used to get voters to approve dorms and the Campus Specific Plan zone that would supersede existing municipal codes. I again repeat that the Campus Specific Plan would supersede some existing municipal codes and not all of them, but enough of them to probably allow things like loud concerts, third-party-managed student housing, sporting events, and possibly summer band and/or cheerleader camps.

Do not be fooled. Do not be afraid. Use your rights before Marymount receives rights to take some of your rights away.

Vote "No" on Measure P.
