【子非鱼按：硅谷华人协会是一个由反SCA-5（UC大学歧视法案）而始，一直致力于支持硅谷乃至南北加州的草根候选人的在美华人组织。他们不会因为候选人的赢率而做顺风草做锦上添花的事情，也不会因为小团体利益而成为单议题选民；他们会看候选人的政治理念，以及其做人法则而决定背书与否，是在美华人社会少有的一群政治成熟，且能坚持政治理想的组织。更难得的是，SVCA还一直致力于培养年轻一代华人的政治参与热情并鼓励其拥有独立思考的精神。子非鱼的旧文“公民还是暴民？”一文中因为敢于坚持自己理念而被伯克利大学霸凌的孩子Isabella就曾有幸接受过SVCAF颁发的奖学金，而“2019年度加州立法英文论文大赛”
也是他们协办的活动，这篇投票指南是SVCA的义工们辛苦研究多时出炉的年度精品，给加州的选民朋友们做个参考，欢迎转发和分享！】


Silicon Valley Chinese Association’s Official Voter Guide for
Bay Area and California March 3, 2020 Primary Election
硅谷华人协会（SVCA）投票指南
针对2020年3月3日加州初选
本指南网址: https://tinyurl.com/SVCAVotingGuide202003

投票原则:

1. 打破垄断：近年来加州民主党一党独大，不断制定偏左的各项政策法案，造成犯罪率高升，税收增加，教育退化，政府腐败，大麻泛滥等严重的社会问题。打破一党垄断，避免走向极权政治的最好办法是——注册成为共和党选民，或选举时尽量投共和党的人选；
2. 改善公立教育：加州公立教育的资金总数充裕却质量低下，根本原因是教师工会垄断各级教育部门，成为一大毒瘤，工会热衷推行极端洗脑政策，如男女同厕，过激性教育，左倾政治观念。大家在选各教育部门如学区委员时，请从没有教师工会背书的人选中挑选，才可能减少加州教育的衰败；
3. 避免加税：加州税率最高，各种苛捐杂税不断, 加州政府的资金很充裕，但由于一党独大，监管不严，腐败严重，多项 bond/measure 的近一半资金都用于可有过无的庞大行政开支，成为中饱私囊的重要来源。政府首先应该对开支进行严格监管，再来向民众要钱。如果政府开支不透明，任何巧立名目收税的measure or bond, 基本都是投NO.
4. 避免受骗：很多法案写得表面光鲜亮丽，实则执行时败絮其中。如果选民不确定法案的实质，最简单的办法是No. No 意味着保持现状。当然避免上当的最好办法是以你所信任的投票指南为参考，省时省力又不上当。
5. 考量理念：你手中神圣的一票代表了你的理念，投给与你理念相符的候选人，而不是胜算最大的。
以上原则适用于选民在不确定投票方向时作为参考，并非放之四海而皆准。如果你有不同的意见，最终决定权在你手中。最重要的是，一定要投票！选票就是你的声音，放弃投票等于放弃你的利益。
特别注意: 
1.选举法规定选民只可以在初选中写候选人的名字，大选中不可以;
2.如果某Position只准选一个, 但有多个候选人，请根据自己偏好只选一个，否则选票作废。
3.本指南上SVCA背书的候选人属于强烈推荐；CAGOP/SVGOP/BAHN/SVARW背书的属于中度推荐；其他候选人属于建议。请选民自己斟酌。
4. 欢迎全文转载本指南，并请写明日期。
5. 都不喜欢可以不选！

Position
Recommended Candidates
Reason
Board of Education
Ling Kong
Better education for kids; Greater value for tax payers; More resources for schools. Her opponent is endorsed by the Teachers’ Union.

Ballot Measures

California State Measures

Prop.
Recommended
Reason
13
No
Strong No! It goes to the general bond in the name of education, but there is no transparency or control over how and where it will be spent.

Alameda County Measures

Measure.
Recommended
Reason
C
No
Strongly No! It’s a 0.5% sales tax hike for 20 years. 
J
No
Dublin Unified School District
School bond, $290M, $50 per $100,000 of assessed valuation.
Support local schools. Yet another tax increase.

Contra Costa County Measures

Measure.
Recommended
Reason
J
No
No on raising tax. There is no control over how and where it will be eventually spent. Also, the language on the ballot is apparently misleading.  The sales tax levied is ½ percent, not ½ “cent.” For this misleading reason alone, we should reject it.

San Francisco County Measures

Measure
Recommend
Reason
A
No
City College Job Training, Repair and Earthquake Safety Measure
Bond, $845M, increases property tax. 
B
No
San Francisco Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response Bond
Bond, $628.5M, increases property tax.
C
No
Retiree Health Care Benefits for Former Employees of the San Francisco Housing Authority
The total cost would range widely depending on the number of people affected, their ages, years of services, length of continued employment, etc. It feeds the pension blackhole. The more tax money collected, the more government employees, the more pension liability, the deeper the blackhole, the more tax collection measures, then the cycle goes again. 
D
No
Vacancy Tax
It collects $5M revenue for the city. But the measure punishes the housing provider, and makes them more reluctant to put their vacant spaces into the housing market, and thus hurts the housing supply and tenants ultimately. 
E
No
Limits on Office Development
Offices are critical to local business developing, especially for small businesses. Government intervention into free-market business will stagnizing local economy, thus hurting both employment and the local economic ecosystem, as well as creating more tax burden to the government. Everybody losses on such a policy. 

Santa Clara County Measures 

(listed in alphabet order)
Measure.
Recommended
Reason
A
No
City of Morgan Hill
“Not Recommended” by Silicon Valley Association of Republican Women
B
No
City of Sunnyvale
While transitioning to district-based election is mandatory, the way a city-wide elected Mayor is packaged into this wholesale deal is worrisome. Rejecting Measure B will create a 7-district layout for Nov. 2020, and will make sure we have a Mayor representing Sunnyvale residents instead of out-of-town interests. In 2011 and 1991 Sunnyvale residents rejected a directly elected mayor TWICE already.
C
No
City of Santa Clara
“Not Recommend” by Silicon Valley Association of Republican Women
D
Yes

City of Mountain View
Recommended by Silicon Valley Association of Republican Women
Prohibits paying members of the Rental Housing Committee (RHC) members. Clarifies RHC works INDEPENDENTLY when implementing rent control. Allows out-of-town owners to act on RHC, without allowing paid professionals on RHC. 
Allows annual rent increases by from 3.5 to 4%.
E
No
City of San Jose
This is the property transfer tax, approximately $70M annually. The money will most likely go to the general fund and be redistributed to fill the bottomless retirement fund hole. They should switch to another fund management company instead.
G
No
Foothill-De Anza Community College District
Bond, $898M, adds $250/yr  in property tax. 
College is already trying to grow the revenue by repurposing the Flint Center. We really do not want the extra burden from each school and each district over our already overloaded property taxes.
H
No
Foothill-De Anza Community College District
Bond, $28M, add $48/yr in property tax. 
Teacher Excellence? Pardon me?
I
No
Morgan Hill Unified School District
Bond, $900 M, adds $450/yr in property tax.
J
No
East Side High School District
Parcel tax, $60M, adds $50/yr in property tax.
School district wants this money to construct rental housing. Rental housing business is not within the core competence or mission of a school district.
K
No
Campbell Union  School District
Parcel tax, $133 M, adds $298/yr/parcel.
L
No
San Benito High School District
Bond, $30 M, adds $80/yr in property tax.

No
Patterson Joint Unified School District
Bond, $32.5 M, adds $150/yr in property tax.
O
No
Cupertino Union School District
Parcel tax, $22M, adds $125/yr/parcel 
Academic Excellence or Teachers Union revenue excellence? Strongly No.
P
No
Campbell Union School District
Parcel tax, $22 M, adds $98/yr/parcel.
Q
No
Union School District
Parcel tax, $12 M, adds $149/yr/parcel.
R
No
Franklin-Mckinley School District
Bond, $80 M, adds $300/yr in property tax.
S
No
Oak Grove School District
Parcel tax, $31 M, adds $132/yr/parcel.

No
Mountain View Whisman School District
Bond, $259 M, adds $515/yr in property tax.

No
Berryessa Union School District
Bond, $98 M, adds $315/yr in property tax.
V
No
Evergreen School District
Bond, $125M, add $320/yr in property tax. 
In every election, this school district asks for more funding. Just look at your property tax bill. The State is asking for more funding for the same purpose. See State Measure 13. No! No! No.
