Californians this is for you:
Statement from John Kerry on Proposition 54
August 14, 2003
Washington, DC – John Kerry today released the following statement regarding Proposition 54, the proposed California constitutional amendment that would bar most state agencies from collecting individual racial and ethnic information.
“Vital public health data will be kept from the public under Proposition 54. This wrongheaded proposal would increase barriers in California’s efforts to prevent high concentrations and outbreaks of diseases like breast cancer, heart disease, diabetes or even Alzheimer's.”
“Ward Connerly's proposal will further entrench, not end, discrimination. Abolishing data collection will deny civil rights enforcement officials the tools they need to identify and end discrimination. I urge all Californians to vote No on Prop. 54”
This statement was provided by a John Kerry for President Staff member.
