这周拨款委员会就要投票表决AB1726法案 — 让纳税人你我自己掏钱收集数据去给我们的子女挖坑，实在是令人气愤！4月12日，令华裔出离愤怒的法案AB-1726又在加州众议院的健康委员会(Health Committee)通过。在此之前有众多华人居民及时给各位委员们打电话或发email表达了反对意见，当日并有群众去听证会上直接表达反对意见. 这次有6位委员没有同意此案。这比先前的高教委员会有了很大进步，更是与去年同一法案的全票通过更是截然不同。从这次6名委员没有投赞成票，说明我们的抗争维权取得了效果。我们每次争取的反对票越多，它被州长否决的可能性就越大。（州长在去年就否决了相同的法案）。 上个月27日，加州群众去拨款委员会的投票日抗议，见到了很多议员，阐述了我们反对此法案的原因。因为此法案的巨额开销，此案的表决被推迟到这个星期。还有几天，你难道不愿意为你的孩子多花费10分钟的时间以保护他们的权益？ 大家一起行动起来吧！

我们能够采取的行动如下：
1.反对AB-1726的组织请务必把组织名称加到法案的Opposition list里。
和SCA 5类似， AB-1726法案上一长串支持的组织名单，一个反对的都没有！这样的强烈反差对比给立法机构非常偏颇的印象，对反对法案及其不利。我们不能再次在官方反 对名单上集体失声！不能再次被他人恶意代表！ 请各个反对此法案的华人组织马上行动起来，向拨款委员会主席Gozazlez以及Assembly Republic Consultant Eric Swanson发反对该法案的声明，强烈要求投反对票。在给Swanson的声明中，请求他在他的分析评述中慎重考虑我们的反对意见，建议共和党议员投反 对票。
哪些组织可以支持或者反对法案的请参考 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate_Constitutional_Amendment_No._5 上面列出的组织名单。
目前打听到的消息是凡通过传真发去声明表示反对的组织和个人都会被列入Opposition list里。建议各大组织给以下这两位议员发传真（组织请用 official letterhead写信。本文最后提供模板）他们的信息是：

电话内容参考：I am a voter from XYZ city. I am calling regarding AB-1726, which will be voted on in the Appropriations Committee in the coming weeks.
Please vote NO on this bill. We are disturbed about the hidden agenda under the disguise of addressing the diverse needs of the Asian Americans. This bill is divisive and unfair by singling out Asian Americans to be stratified. AB-1726 is also unscientific because it confuses ethnicities with national origins.
Please vote against AB-1726. Thank you!

Dear [name of Assembly Member]:
We understand that Assembly Bill 1726 will be voted on in the Appropriations Committee in the coming weeks. We urge that you vote against this historically regressive and degenerated bill because, if signed into law, this bill would be a backward step for equality in California.
We are disturbed by the hidden agenda of AB-1726 under the disguise of addressing the diverse needs of the Asian Americans. The stratified data to be collected by government agencies and state universities may easily be manipulated to advance race-based public policies that are unlawful under the State Constitution.
We are troubled by the divisive and unfair nature of AB-1726. There is no mention of sub-groups within Hispanic or White or African Americans, despite the fact that these ethnic groups are equally diverse as Asian Americans, if not more. Why single out Asian Americans only?
We are concerned about the unscientific approach of the bill as it confuses ethnicities with national origins. Furthermore, the citizenship of one’s ancestry — and in many cases multiple citizenships within the family tree — may not be a deciding factor of that person’s socioeconomic or educational status.
Please recognize the social danger and racial tension that legislation like AB-1726 will put California in. Please vote against AB-1726.
Sincerely,
[Name of petitioner]
