I am writing to alert you to an error that occurred in your paper. It was part of a full page ad that was sponsored by a group called “San Benito United” and featured three local citizens purporting to “protect” the County. Unfortunately, the ad propagates a lie, mouthed by one of the hapless three that claims “Measure J bans all petroleum production in San Benito ...” As you know, that is a lie and has been flatly contradicted by county planner, Michael Kelly, and Assistant County Counsel Barbara Thompson. This lie of San Benito United, propagated by our three neighbors, should not be allowed to stand. To that end, what Measure J really says should be printed here. Measure J is an “Initiative to Ban Well Stimulation Treatments and Enhanced Recovery (such as Fracking and Steam Injection) throughout all Unincorporated Areas of San Benito County and to Ban All Petroleum Operations in Residential General Plan Designations in Unincorporated San Benito County and Make Related Zoning Changes.”

Why is it that it seems many liberal people believe in tolerance for all gays, cross dressers, transgenders, or same sex marriages? All others are to be accepting  and understanding to these types, and heaven help us if we conservative people stand up for our traditional definition of marriage that is just between a man and a women that has been the standard for thousands of years. When these tolerant, sweet people state their beliefs and opinions, all others that believe differently  are told that we are intolerant, homophobic, and harsh, insensitive people.
