In November, 2004, California's voters approved Proposition 63 on the ballot, which added a 1% tax on income over $1,000,000., specifically to fund additional mental health services.

The implementation of the "Mental Health Initiative," including plans by city, county, and California stage agencies, is now being entirely held up, by a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, filed by none other than Attorney Kendrick L. Moxon, on November 3, 2004, the day after Prop 63 won in the election.

Plaintiffs include the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights, Craig Jensen, and some others (the American Family Rights Association - headed in California by William Tower of Sacramento, Sharon Kientz, Heather Malone, Dolores Parker, and Rita Rangel).

This lawsuit, case number #BS093361, is thwarting the will of over a million voters in California, who approved of Prop 63.

Complaints also appeared in the LA Times in a story dated October 30, 2004, regarding a direct mailer opposing Prop 63, which was described as being received by non-members of the Church of Scientology of Los Angeles - A blatant violation of IRS 501(c)(3) regulations, which prohibit political participation by non-profit groups, and an apparent violation of the California Fair Political Practices code, which mandates financial disclosure of campaign expenditures by independent advocacy groups.

SCIENTOLOGY URGES DEFEAT OF PROP. 63
BY EVAN HALPER AND NANCY VOGEL
Times Staff Writers

October 30, 2004

As election campaigns head into the last weekend and candidates crisscross the state, activists of all stripes are busy.

The proposition that would tax Californians who earn more than $1 million per year to pay for mental-health programs has come under attack from the Church of Scientology. Democrats accused the Republican Party of launching a racist attack campaign against an Assembly candidate from the Central Valley. And campaign analysts reported that more money has been spent on ballot measure campaigns in this election than in any other in California history.

In a mass mailing that reached voters across the state, the Scientologists painted Proposition 63 as a boondoggle for the "same psycho-pharma racket whose proliferation of mind-altering, violence-inducing drugs on our schoolchildren in recent decades has fueled the explosion of school violence fatalities."

It was the first major campaign attack on the initiative. Supporters of the measure suggested the Scientologists' mailing was a blatant violation of campaign law. The Scientology organization did not report the production and mailing of the eight-page Freedom newsletter to campaign finance authorities.

"Clearly this publication was sent to more than just their membership," said Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), who is leading the campaign for Proposition 63 and received one of the mailers himself. "We think the public has a right to know who paid for it."

The newsletter includes a photograph of a funeral of a victim from the Columbine school shooting along with warnings that passage of Proposition 63 could result in more school shootings. It also states that criminal behavior among psychiatrists has spiked 1700% over the last 20 years.

Tom Paquette, the newsletter's editor, said the report was consistent with what his newsletter has been publishing for years. He said the newsletter, which has a circulation of 200,000, was no different from any other newspaper or magazine that expresses opinions about an issue in its pages.

"Our constitutional rights stand just like those of the Los Angeles Times, the Christian Science Monitor or any other newspaper," he said.

"There are a lot of opinions out there as to what is wrong with Earth, 1995. But if you really want to eliminate those problems all you have to do is work for the objectives that we, as members of the IAS, have set for the year 2000: Objective One - place Scientology at the absolute forefront of Society. Objective Two - eliminate psychiatry in all its forms. Let's get rid of psychiatry, and let's bring Scientology to every man, woman and child on this planet."

David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board RTC, 1995

"The names and connections, at this time, of the bitterly opposing enemy are: Psychiatry and psychology (not medicine). The heads of news media who are also directors of psychiatric front groups. A few key political figures in the fields of "mental health" and education. A decline of monetary stability caused by the current planning of bankers who are also directors of psychiatric front organizations would make us unable to function."

HCO PL (Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter) 16 Feb 1969, "TARGETS, DEFENSE"

Our war has been forced to become "To take over absolutely the field of mental healing on this planet in all forms." That was not the original purpose. The original purpose was to clear Earth. The battles suffered developed the data that we had an enemy who would have to be gotten out of the way and this meant that we were at war ... By showing him to be brutal, venal and plotting we get him discarded. Our direct assault will come when they start to arrest his principals and troops for crimes (already begun). Our total victory will come when we run his organisations, perform his functions and obtain his financing and appropriations.
