Today
-
California has 10% of the nation's electors.
-
-
Yet in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 national candidates did not campaign in California. They ignored us
-
The voters of Los Angeles and San Francisco pick the 55 Electors for the entire State of California.
- This is wrong!
a) It is not democratic
b) It eliminates third party participation
c) It is unfair
- The statewide winner-take-all system distorts the
preferences of California voters.
- "It is time we got rid of it." Senator Ray Haynes
Do you want to reform California politics?

Senator Ray Haynes
Your vote DOESN’T matter!
At least not when it comes to electing the President.Not when it is winner-take-all for California’s electoral votes.
You’re probably as fed up as I am about that – and now there is something you can do about it.
It is time to Let Every Voice be Heard!
A petition is in circulation to put Electoral College Reform on the June ballot that will allocate our state’s votes by CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
– the winner in a district will get the one electoral vote for that district
– and the winner of the state-wide vote will get the remaining two votes allocated by the US Constitution.
California’s votes will no longer ALL be controlled by the big city political machines and the major market liberal media. California will become competitive again. Presidential candidates will have to campaign for your vote – in suburbs, small towns and rural areas - and your vote WILL matter.
If it passes, the reform will help stamp out corruption by making vote fraud ineffective – those schemes would only affect one electoral vote in one district – and not all 58 votes for the whole state.
It will virtually eliminate the chance of a repeat of the Florida debacle in California in the event of a close vote – preventing both the uncertainty and the anger and long-lasting animosity created by that dispute.
Of course, there is the chance minor parties may be able to win an electoral vote or two – the Greens along the coast, the Libertarians in a foothill or suburban district.
What is important is EVERYONE’S vote will matter and everyone will know it.
The social impact will mean less bitterness – resulting in more social and political stability.
As you can imagine, that idea scares the ultra-left collectivists - they tried to abort the initiative in its tracks by pulling out all the stops with their multi-billionaire sugar-daddies, with their pals in the big city newspapers, in academia, “think-tanks” and among their political hacks. You can read about it and their premature gloating on-line in an article from the San Francisco Chronicle. Oct. 7, 2007 Carl Marinucci, Lincoln Brigade
They even had the nerve to name their operation after an armed group of American born Communists – and said their fight against letting YOUR vote count was a vote against “FASCISM” – in their hateful outlook they are equating YOU and YOUR beliefs with that odious ideology.
But despite their gloating, the initiative is very much alive. And we are determined to keeping working to give you a voice.
Please return your petitions to our office as soon as possible – even if you’ve only gathered a few signatures.
Just as important, of course, is your donation to help with the costs of gathering signatures throughout the state.
The left-wing collectivist cabal has millions at its disposal to keep your voice silent and your vote for President worthless. If we succeed in getting the initiative on the ballot, they WILL spend millions to defeat it – even THAT would be a victory for you and me because they won’t have that money to spend on other political campaigns in California and across the nation.
The GRASSROOTS effort behind this petition can succeed with YOUR financial support and personal efforts. To fund the effort we need to raise $450,000 – about only 1% of what they will have to spend to try to defeat reform when it is on the ballot.
Every dollar you invest in the effort will, at least, cost THEM 100 times as much.
A $100 contribution ties up $10,000 of theirs.
To raise the needed funds, we need just 50 donors to kick in $1,000; another 200 to invest $500; 1000 to donate $100; 2000 to donate $50; and $25 from another 4000 who can only afford that amount. Send in your donation TODAY – there is no time to waste. We need to know you are committed to this electoral reform.
Make YOUR voice heard again! Let EVERY voice be heard!
Senator Haynes (ret),
PS. Don’t let the big city political machines and the left-wing collectivist
keep your voice unheard and ineffective. Join the effort for electoral
reform by sending in a donation and by gathering signatures TODAY.
Whether it is $25 or $1,000 – it ALL matters.
Make out the check to Electoral Reform! FPPC-1301703
PPS: Remember, YOUR donation will cost the opponents of reform 100
times as much! Every dollar from you means they have $100 less to
spend on other state and national campaigns.
