American Progressive Bag Alliance...(What A Fucking Joke)

[busterbrown]

Is trying to overturn recently passed legislation which makes illegal the use of plastic bags in California.

They were able to obtain over 500,000 signatures and if verified it will go on the ballot in 2016.. The backers of this initiative are out of state chemical companies and plastic bag manufacturers..

How the hell can 500,000 fellow Californians sign this petition?

Even though Cali is a solid Blue State there are still plenty of assholes who ride with right wing rhetoric, claiming that there is too much govt. intrusion into our lives..Even if its a matter of environmental protection.

And of course the money always matters.. Over 3 million dollars spent by the chemical/plastic bag companies..

1. Progressive Bag Alliance?

That has to be some sort of tongue-in-cheek joke.

3. Well when playing to the stupid...

No stone shall be unturned.. Of course include “Progressive” in your phony title...
Californian’s read “Progressive” they assume they are working for environmental protective issues..

So. put a sign up “Progressive Bag Alliance” in front of a Supermarket and just lie about what they really represent, probably stating how this alliance is going to help the environment and people will sign it..

Just fucking incredible...

2. You're surprised 500k Californians dislike the ban enough to sign?

People use so many plastic bags because they are convenient. And people are much better at valuing current convenience than anything in the future.
