Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown Both Committed Strike-able Felonies

When California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger smoked marijuana
on-screen in the film "Pumping Iron," he committed an act that could
have been prosecuted as a strike-able felony, had he been arrested
and prosecuted for it.

Former California Governor Jerry Brown, currently campaigning against
Prop 66, has long been known to be a marijuana user, for which he
could have received strike-enhanced sentences.

Facts from the State of California, Department of Corrections, Data
Analysis Unit: 

More prisoners are serving strike-enhanced sentences for marijuana
offenses (393) than for murder (377), or for manslaughter (326), or
for rape (372), or for kidnapping (223).

26 serve strike-enhanced sentences for 'other marijuana offenses,'
including 2 serving 25-years-to-life.

212 serve strike-enhanced sentences for 'marijuana possession,'
including 5 serving 25-years-to-life.

145 serve strike-enhanced sentences for 'marijuana sales,' including
28 serving 25-years-to-life.
[Schwarzenegger and Brown had to buy their marijuana from someone, so
they both contributed to these crimes being committed.]

Would Schwarzenegger and Brown consider themselves "violent
offenders" and "threats to public safety?" Not likely.

Yet, these are some of the "violent offenders" that Schwarzenegger
and Brown say would be "released" by Prop 66.

If these two had been arrested and prosecuted for their law-breaking
acts, it is likely neither would have become Governor, and even more
likely that each would have been convicted of strike-able felonies
under California's current three-strikes law.

Which means they both would now have first-hand knowledge of the
injustice of the current law, and would probably be campaigning for
Prop 66 instead of against it.

A vote for Prop 66 is a vote for fair and equitable justice!
