Re: what do you have to say

I just want to clear up what seems to be a misconception out there. Common Cause is supporting a drastically amended version of the bill, not the original version of the bill the Governor supported. The new bill includes nearly every recommendation included in the CGS/Demos report and adds in some of the best policy from other states. I'd encourage everyone to take a look at the bill: http://www.commoncause.org/site/pp.asp?c=dkLNK1MQI wG&b=368187 It establishes a truly independent commission. It has strong and fair criteria. It's good policy. It's the right thing for California. it's the right thing for Texas. It's the right thing for Florida.

Re: what do you have to say

Again, What chance do you think you have of getting it through in Texas and Florida?  Why don't you start in a red state where the problems are worse and where we would most definatly pick up seats rather than starting in a big blue state where we could loose seats.  Why!
