SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — After Los Angeles County residents got an automated phone call reporting a mistake was on their November ballot, county officials issued an alert to voters that there was no such error.The calls — and a mailer dubbed a ballot "correction" — were part of an advertising blitz by Proposition 6 supporters trying to drive home a message to voters to overcome what they see as a misleading title and summary on the ballot initiative.Proposition 6 would repeal an increase in fuel taxes and vehicle fees that is slated to fund billion in transportation projects a year.RELATED: Poll: Support strong for Proposition 6, which repeals California's gas taxIts title on the ballot begins with: "Eliminates certain road repair and transportation funding." Proponents say that doesn't convey quickly enough its mission, which is why they titled it a "Gas Tax Repeal Initiative" in large letters on their mailer.The feud over messaging comes just weeks before the election, though complaints about ballot language are hardly new. Since elected officials craft the title and summary that voters read on the ballot, Republicans frequently contend they are at a disadvantage since California's Legislature and government offices — including those tasked with drafting and publishing ballot language — are solidly in Democrats' hands."We very often have these fights," said Thad Kousser, chairman of political science at the University of California, San Diego. "(The proponents) wanted it to only talk about what voters would get, not what voters would lose, and so they are well within their rights to make this their central campaign message."RELATED: AP: California agency, gas tax backers worked closely togetherProponents can challenge ballot language in the courts but didn't for Proposition 6, a constitutional amendment that also seeks to require voter approval for future fuel tax hikes.Instead, supporters have focused their efforts on branding the measure as a repeal of a gasoline tax hike they say is making California too expensive."We know when voters know 'Yes on Prop 6' is the gas tax repeal, they are more likely to support it," said Dave McCulloch, a spokesman for proponents. "Lawyers are expensive, and we feel money is best used by educating voters."REPORT: Gas tax funds reportedly being used to campaign against Prop 6Opponents, who argue the tax revenues are critical to upgrading the state's crumbling roads and bridges, have called the advertising deceptive. They said they also would have preferred messaging more favorable to their cause and that proponents had the chance to mount a court challenge and didn't."We find it disgraceful and deceptive that they would emulate an official voter guide with fake mailers," said Robin Swanson, a spokeswoman for the campaign against Proposition 6. "If we were writing the title and summary, we would call it, 'The attack on roads and bridges.'" We didn't get our way either, but we're not trying to deceive voters."Opponents, backed by construction industry groups and unions, are campaigning to show voters how revenues from the 12-cent-per-gallon increase in gasoline excise taxes are translating to road and transit fixes in their neighborhoods, she said.RELATED: Caltrans' gas tax freeway signs raise concerns with FedsThe battle over language comes as polling by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California shows the repeal effort trailing. In a mid-October poll, 41 percent of likely voters said they planned to vote for the initiative, and 48 percent were opposed. A January poll showed 47 percent of likely voters favored repealing the gas tax increase.McCulloch said the shift shows ballot language matters since earlier polling didn't include the measure's official title. Swanson said it showed the campaign against the measure, which took off over the summer, has resonated with voters.Opponents also have raised million, compared with million raised by supporters.RELATED: California campaign watchdog investigates gas tax campaignKeir DuBois, 41, said he received one of the correction-styled mailers in coastal Ventura northwest of Los Angeles. DuBois, who opposes the repeal, said he knew it was an ad but didn't like getting an official-looking communication that was labeled a "correction" from a political campaign."I felt like they were trying to pull one over on people who want to believe voting against every tax is a good thing," he said.Brian Greene, who has seen the mailers posted online and wants the tax hike rolled back, said he feels just the opposite.RELATED: San Diego projects receive funding due to controversial gas tax"It is just getting the conversation started about what the phrasing actually means on the bills we're voting on," said the 25-year-old from Los Angeles. "I think the layperson doesn't understand the government rhetoric. They make it as complicated as possible."In this month's poll, the measure had more support in Orange County and San Diego County, home to Republican former councilman and initiative author Carl DeMaio. Most respondents in the San Francisco Bay Area said they'd vote against it.In addition to election mailers and calls, Proposition 6 supporters have led a bus tour and put video ads on screens at gas stations that drivers see while filling up. They also held campaign events at gas stations offering discounted fuel.Mary-Beth Moylan, professor at University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law in Stockton, thinks proponents went too far in mimicking election announcements."I don't have a problem with them putting a mailer out," said Moylan, who teaches a seminar on initiatives. "It is another thing to say, 'We're going to masquerade as an official state actor and tell you that there is a correction to your ballot.' Adding that level of manipulation to the process, I think, is problematic." 5909

Science finds that being kind pays off. Numerous studies show that when people perform acts of kindness they feel better, are happier and in some cases healthier. Scientists have also study how kindness is ingrained in humanity. It’s hard-wired into people as an evolutionary survival mechanism. Scientists say we realize that humanity benefits and we are all are better off when we are kind to each other. That’s why researchers find that being kind is universal. It’s in all cultures, and people in all cultures say the same thing: They prize kindness over other values like ambition, tradition, excitement, security and even power. 642

SAN YSIDRO, Calif. (KGTV) -- Authorities are warning Americans traveling to Tijuana about people posing as police officers reportedly getting aggressive with drivers waiting to cross the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Photos from Tijuana Police show officers near the port putting a man in handcuffs. Authorities in Mexico say he’s one of 35 people arrested Sunday for being aggressive to drivers waiting to get back into the United States. The concern was raised this week as travelers are expected to head south for the holiday weekend. Marco Sotomayor, the Secretary of Public Safety in Tijuana told the San Diego Union Tribune that the city is seeing cases that are more violent and more consistent. Sotomayor goes on to say that criminals sometimes mask themselves as police officers wearing fake badges on hats and jackets, demanding money from drivers stuck in lines. "I think you very much stick out if you've never been to Mexico, and you don't know where you're going and you don't know what roads to take, I think that does make you a very easy target,” said Amanda Matti with Daytripper Tours. She says the company has been safely traveling into Mexico for 30 years. Because they travel in large groups via buses and have contacts across the border, Matti says their tour service never runs into these type of issues. "Our driver is usually local, experienced in Mexico, our tour managers are experienced, so I think they know not to target us."Matti says if you plan on going this weekend and don’t have experience, don’t go alone. "We definitely recommend traveling in a group." 1595

SAN YSIDRO (KGTV) - Dozens of migrants filled out paperwork in Tijuana, getting ready to file for asylum ahead of the caravan.The Mexican city already flooded with migrants waiting for their turn to be processed at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.Lilia Velasquez, an Immigration Specialist and Lawyer, said the process could take months or even years. First, she said a group of about 10 migrants get a number. When they're called, they are processed and detained.It could take months to get to that step, which is why a group is given the same number. Velasquez explained many decide not to go through the process, or to find another way over the border.Next an agent is assigned to their case and conducts a credible fear interview, determining whether the migrant falls under 5 classifications; facing persecution for religion, ethnicity, nationality, political opinion, or being a member of a special group.READ RELATED:?First group of migrants from caravan arrive in TijuanaThen, the migrants face a judge. Whether or not they are granted asylum, the migrants then face another judge on charges for entering the country as a foreign citizen. Some are released on bond.Velasquez said humanitarian groups like the ACLU, help finance the bond, and court proceedings. Other groups, like churches, help the migrants once they enter San Diego.One migrant mother who filled out the paperwork Friday morning said she is not afraid, she is filled with hope that they're almost across the border and she thinks it will be easy to get asylum with her son. Two thousand to 3,000 more migrants involved in the caravan are expected to arrive by the end of the weekend.The migrants who filled out paperwork consist of the LGBTQ group who split from the caravan due to discrimination, Central Americans and Mexicans seeking asylum. 1845
