Special interests, lobbyists, pay to play... 64 percent of California's voters say that campaign contributions have had a negative effect on public policy decisions and 78 percent believe that the state government benefits special interests more than our citizens. Apparently, the other 22% have never read a newspaper.
If you’re sick of politics as usual, then Proposition 89, the Clean Money and Fair Elections Act is for you. Prop 89 gives candidates a choice in financing their campaigns: Either do what they do now, which is solicit large donations from wealthy individuals and corporations or, collect only small donations and receive public financing. This proposition gives us voters a choice too. We will be able to vote for candidates who spend their time begging for campaign money from those who demand expensive favors in return or for candidates who do not.
The “Clean Money and Fair Elections Act” is a dividing-line issue pitting the extremely rich, who want to keep politicians in their pockets and the rest of us, who want our representatives free from their control.
This fall, corporations will be investing tens of millions of dollars to crush Prop 89. Ordinary Californians who want a better future don’t have that kind of money, but we do have you... and you have relatives, friends, and co-workers. Start or join a local Clean Money group now. Talk it up at work. Post flyers and write letters. Just Google “clean money” to find out more.
