    The California Taxpayer Protection Act 2010
                                 A California Ballot Initiative Now Circulating for Signature Gathering


The CTPA-2010 will potentially save the taxpayers of California

from $2 billion to $13 billion dollars annually

 

 

                   The CTPA-2010 Will Solve the State's Economic Crisis and Lower Taxes by

�         Deterring those who are Unlawfully-Present from giving Birth in California

�         Ending $2 Billion Child-Only Welfare Direct-Bank-Deposits for All Recipients

�         Ending all Public Benefits to Those Here Unlawfully Including $2 Billion in Pre-Natal Care

CTPA-2010 changes how the state issues birth certificates.  While NOT denying ANY child born in California a birth certificate, it creates conditions that make it undesirable for foreigners to come to California unlawfully for the purpose of giving birth.  CTPA-2010 ends the state's obligation to subsidize unlawfully-present-parents for 18 years with public assistance for each child they birth.

 

These are the conditions imposed by CTPA-2010:

 

Every parent will be required to sign an affidavit attesting that they are a citizen or legal resident.  Those parents will receive birth certificates  in the same way as it is currently under the law.

 

Mother who cannot sign the affidavit will have to meet a number of additional conditions;

 

The state of California will then be required to provide the above information to the Department of Homeland Security for disposition.

Falsifying the affidavit; providing false information; or for government employees to assist any person in circumventing the new law will be a felony punishable by 4 years in jail, $5000 fine or both.

 

MEETING LEGAL CHALLENGES

The wording of the Initiative is based for all practical purposes on the identical wording of an Initiative passed in the state of Oklahoma.  The Oklahoma law has survived all legal challenges in Federal Appeals Court.  The CTPA-2010 stands on solid legal grounds and is highly unlikely that it would be overturned.  In addition, the CTPA-2010's several provisions are �severable� meaning that if one is defeated in a court challenge, all other provisions will stand.

The authors of the Initiative are Ted Hilton, a Constitutional Scholar; Tony Dolz a Candidate for the U.S. 30th Congressional District; Bill Morrow a former California State Senator; and Bill Siler the Adjunct of the California American Legion.  Endorsers include Congressmen Brian Bilbray and Dana Rohrabacher; and Peter Nunez the former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury and former United States Attorney.
