Does Anybody Know Who Wrote/Proposed Prop 19?

I am on the other side of the country so I am not as knowledgeable on prop 19 as you west coasters. I am very curious who wrote prop 19. It seems almost like it was written with the intent of failing and sabotaging the marijuana community. Now the anti-drug crusaders are going to say, "the American people voted and they do not want the legalization of marijuana." When in reality if the law was better written it would of passed. 45% of the voters voted yes, and thats without the support of the growing community (which I can only assume is quite large in Cali).

Prop 19 just put us back 10 years... fucking bastard legislators.
