****************************************************************************
Mission: We are going to change California politics by returning the power to the people and removing the special interest lobby!

*****************************************************************************
THE NEW PLAN

A popular vote in each Congressional District will select one local Elector.

The statewide popular vote will select two at-large Electors.

Maine and Nebraska have Congressional District Electors.

Why the Reform is a really good idea

Returns the power of the vote back to the local people.
It reinforces our founding fathers concept of representative government.
Presidential candidates will no longer ignore California.
California will become a competitive market in the Presidential race forcing candidates to campaign in this great state
$100,000,000 will be spent in California in newspaper, TV, and Radio purchases.

Grass roots political issues (energy/environment) will be discussed in the election.
Will create many jobs.
Independents and third party votes will matter.
Local and Rural voters will have a voice.
5,500,000 votes will not be wasted.
California will reflect its political demography.
It enhances the importance of swing voters and competitive districts.
It is the fairest system possible.

Howard Dean, Past Democrat Chairman, made it absolutely clear in his comments: "The eventual Democratic nominee can't win the White House without ALL of California's 55 electoral votes.

      We want local voters to pick their Electors, not 55 unknowns picked statewide.

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 and spent their time and money in smaller states with a just a few Electors.
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.

Do you want to reform California politics?

Congressional District Electors Initiative #10-0024
Currently 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 the Congressional District Elector Initiative on the 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 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.
    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 55 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 the Tea Party in a 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.

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.
Join fellow Californians!
Send in your donation TODAY – there is no time to waste.
Make YOUR vote count!             Let EVERY voice be heard!
