Another big question is why the money to oppose Prop 23 is being laundered through numerous fake “charities” to disguise the fact that it is coming from Venture Capitalists who have a financial stake in many of the green companies who are benefitting from their competition being destroyed by ridiculous & fraudulent CARB regulations allowed by AB32. Much of that VC “Charity” money comes from out of state as well, they just try to hide the truth. Those “Out of State” companies supporting Prop 23 have actually been doing business in California for decades and have been employing tens of thousands of California residents as well.

Since they have locations in California and employ California residents, doesnt that make them a California company as well? Shouldnt they be concerned about fraudulent regulations that are going to result in them being forced to lay off their employees in California?

Come on Fraudsquad, you try to point at “out of state” companys supporting Prop 23, then ignore that the environuts opposing prop 23 are being funded by out of state Venture Capitalists who are afraid to admit that they are funding it, so they launder it through fake non-profits.

You really seem like the kind of person who farts in a crowded elevator, then points at someone else.

The bigger question is why 80 percent of the $3 million spent so far FOR Prop 23 is coming from out of state (Texas oil companies, Ohio coal companies, Beltway coal trade associations).

I think a better question is what the point of this article is. There was no analysis and no mention of any implications. Not even anything actually dishonest. It sounds like an attempt to stir up trouble where there is none while avoiding getting hit with a libel suit.

Relevance fraudsquad?

Once again, a professional liar tries to throw up a smoke screen and change the subject without answering or addressing anything. Either “Big Oil” kidnapped your family and beat you up pretty bad, or your being paid to hate them, because no matter what the subject is you always try to change the subject to how horrible oil is. And no normal person is pretentious enough to call themself “truthsquad” unless they are trying to trick people with false information in order to push the agenda of the people signing their checks.

How about in the interest of FULL disclosure that Cal Watchdog report that it is funded by contributions from Big Oil?

Great work! The special interests behind the Green Machine don’t want their identities known and hide in a maze of legal money laundering. http://www.thegoraxbook.com/2010/07/01/green-machine-plays-hide-the-ball/

Follow the money.
What do these investors stand to gain from AB32 in particular and ‘energy legislation’ in general? Are they heavily invested in *foriegn* oil exploitation? Are they positioned to partake in the “Carbon Trade” market?
Or are they just Marxists looking to gain control of the once great nation of the United States?

Thats wonderful, and not the least bit surprising. The anti Prop 23 people keep complaining about big out of state companies trying to influence California policy, yet they are laundering out of state Old Money to counter act it.

So if the money gets laundered through a couple of “charities” and then finally gets distributed by a CARB employee in charge of the money for an in state “Charity”, then they have every right to influence California’s policy, because rich people know whats best for everybody.

I wonder why they are not complaining that out of state rich people are funding regulations that will completely eliminate the middle class. Those people donating million of inherited dollars are not the ones who will lose their jobs. The low income people are going to receive government subsidies to pay for any increased expenses due to the legislation. It’s the middle class people, who dont qualify for government subsidies, who are going to lose their jobs, companies, etc.

It seems that those Oil companies, who actually employee people in California, have much more of a right/reason to be spending money to suspend AB 32, than some Old Money trust fund babies do. The hypocracy of the environmental nut jobs knows no bounds.
