Sample letters:
Dear
XXX,
I
hereby urge you to vote NO to SCA-5! As SCA-5 will roll back the clock to the
days when students were discriminated against based on their race. SCA-5 hide
under the disguise of equal opportunity. However SCA-5 is in fact the
antithesis of equal opportunity as it demands equal outcomes. But true equity
demands fair outcomes for all. The injustice of disparities in any population
is when equity is diminished. It is communism in essence since resources are to
be divided equally. It will destroy the incentive to excel and compete and drag down U.S. competitiveness in the long
run.
Lawmakers
need to work on bills which applies to everyone regardless of their race for
improvements in the quality of education for poor communities or for closing
the gap where students have underachieved. What messages are we sending to our
children that they should be treated differently because of their race, instead
of their efforts and qualifications?
Therefore
I strongly urge you to fight against SCA-5.
I have a dream, do you? Everyone in our community will pay close
attention to this matter.
Thank
you,
XXX
Dear
XXX:
Please
vote "NO" on SCA-5. This bill is to include race as a factor to
provide preference in college admissions. I firmly believe that this is against
the fundamental principles of U.S. law and the American legal system. All men
are equal regardless of race.
Therefore,
I strongly urge you to vote NO on this matter. Your vote is very important to
everyone in our community.
Thank
you,
XXX
Dear
XXX,
Please
vote "NO" on SCA-5. SCA-5 proposed using race as a factor in college
admissions. I urge you to fight against SCA-5. Just as Martin Luther King, Jr.
said 41 years ago, no children should be judged by the color of their skin, but
by the content of their character. Your child(ren) deserve this dream. Every
American child deserves this dream. Don't you agree? It is about right or
wrong. This is where the difference comes between a politician and a
statesman/woman.
It's
your choice which side you're on. I have a dream, do you? The people who shares
the same dream as Martin Luther King, Jr. will remember your choice. They will
decide who they vote for, who they send money to, and who they canvass for.
Best
regards,
XXX
Dear
XXX,
Please
vote "NO" on SCA-5. It is pure racism! My kids future is as important
as anyone's kids. Why two individuals at the same level of education might
differ in their college admissions? What century do we live in? This is
supposedly a country that believes in equality.
I strongly
urge you to fight against SCA-5. Otherwise, no more votes and donations from me
and all my relatives and friends for you or any Democrats. Everyone in our
community will pay close attention to this issue.
Respectfully,
XXX
Dear
XXX,
Please
vote "NO" on SCA-5. Objection to any law that allow any
discrimination against, or granting preferential treatment to, any individual
or group on the basis of race in the operation of public education. Racial
discrimination is wrong, whichever way it goes, in whatever name. If diversity
is the point of preferences, why only in college admissions? Why not in the
recruitment process of government agencies? in entertainment, in sports...
I
strongly urge you to fight against SCA-5. All men are equal regardless of race.
Otherwise, no more votes and donations from me and all my relatives and friends
for you or any Democrats. Everyone in our community will pay close attention to
this issue.

XXX
Dear
XXX,
Please
vote "NO" on SCA-5. I am impressed that this clear violation of
constitutional law could even pass the senate! What are senators doing? How do
we explain to our children that what they've been taught on equal opportunity
is no longer true. It has been amended. Martin Luther King, Jr. said I have a
dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they
will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their
character. But it is no longer in accord with reality. Why don't we amend the
employment standards after college admissions? So those who are entitled to
privileges in admission could automatically get government jobs?
I
strongly urge you to fight against SCA-5. All men are equal regardless of race.
Otherwise, no more votes and donations from me and all my relatives and friends

XXX
Dear
XXX,
Please
vote "NO" on SCA-5. This bill is total racism. What a degradation!
It's a waste of public money for those senators working on this nonsense. The
rational behind the bill is totally ridiculous. We believe in the right of
education for all Californians. California should not enrolled students based
on race rather than qualifications.

strongly urge you to fight against SCA-5. Otherwise, no more votes and

Dear
XXX,
Please
vote "NO" on SCA-5. "I have a dream that my four little children
will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of
their skin, but by the content of their character."---Martin Luther King,
Jr. Do we helping Martin Luther King's dream(which is my dream too)? Do we
punish hard working students by racial preferences? Is this the right way to
promote better education for California?
I
strongly urge you to fight against SCA-5. Otherwise, no more votes and
donations from me and all my relatives and friends for you or any Democrats.

Respectfully,
XXX
Dear
XXX,
Please
vote "NO" on SCA-5. The only barrier for student of any colors for
higher education is their work enthusiasm. How about we do the same thing for
the State Assembly? Candidate must collect certain amount of votes (scores in
S.A.T.) to be qualified, then by using qualified candidates’ race and ethnic
background to decide if he/she can become a member of the California State
Assembly. Because "We need to ensure that the State Assembly reflects our
changing population".
I
strongly urge you to fight against SCA-5. Students should be admitted based on
merits, not race! Otherwise, no more votes and donations from me and all my
relatives and friends for you or any Democrats. Everyone in our community will
pay close attention to this issue.
Respectfully,
XXX
Dear
XXX,
Please
vote NO on SCA 5 as it is a racist bill. It promotes discrimination by judging
people based on their race. Admission to any school among other things, should
solely based on their own merit and not on their color, race, and etc. I believe
preferential treatment based on race in college admission is not the right
practice. In addition it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment.
I
strongly urge you to vote "No" on SCA 5. Students deserve have an
equal opportunity in the college admission process regardless of their race.
Thank you for listening to the voice of your people.
Respectfully,
XXX
Dear
XXX,
Please
vote "NO" on SCA-5. This is ridiculous and is so wrong! This is a
reverse discrimination. This proposition limits the opportunity of certain kids
to attend the University of California because of their races. Higher education
should be offered to those who can do it.
I
strongly urge you to fight against SCA-5. Students deserve have an equal
opportunity in the college admission process regardless of their race.
