At 1:00 p.m. on Sept. 22 at the Criminal Courts Building in Los Angeles, Valerie Monroe and Jan Tucker announced that the Cal. 3-Strikes Project had submitted a public initiative to the Attorney General's office that would amend the California 3-Strikes law

	Jan Tucker and Valerie Monroe are the co-sponors of the 3-strikes initiative.
Tony Muhammad of the Nation of Islam and the Black Defense League also spoke in support of the initiative.
	The current Sec. of State, Bill Jones (R), had a press conference at 1:45 p.m. to discuss his opposition to any amendments to the 3-strikes law as put forth in the proposed inititiative.

The intiative proposes to amend the 3-strikes law so that only "serious" or "violent" felonies can count as strikes under both the two-strike and three strike provisions of the 3-strikes law.
