California has become a fiscal train wreck. Year after year our state is sinking deeper in debt. Its credit rating is now the lowest in the nation. Soaring pension costs are damaging other important programs—including funding badly needed infrastructure. Many businesses have chosen not to locate or expand here. Others have fled the state. Our unemployment rate is the highest since the Great Depression.

A major source of these problems is that well-heeled special interests—particularly massive public employee unions—use their money to dominate the California legislature, damage the economy and discourage job creation.

Proposition 32, which will appear on California’s statewide ballot this November, will fundamentally change our electoral system. It is a tremendous opportunity for the people of California to literally take back our state. Specifically, Prop 32:

• Ends corporate and union donations to politicians.
• Makes political donations by individuals truly voluntary and stops automatic deductions of political money from employees’ paychecks.
• Contains no loopholes.
• Addresses both state and local government
• Allows all individuals—as provided in the US Constitution—to voluntarily donate directly to the candidates and to the organizations of their choice.
• Allows any organization to freely and independently express its views on candidates and public policy issues.

Under Prop 32 public employee unions will no longer be able to aggressively exploit automatic payroll deductions, amass huge political war chests and thereby do tremendous damage to our state. Instead public employees will be able to make truly voluntary political donations by writing a check—just like everyone else.

No one should be forced—as many currently are through automatic payroll deductions—to make political donations to candidates with whom they disagree.

Based on the results from other states with similar reforms, Prop 32 will make political donations truly voluntary and significantly level the playing field during election campaigns.

Don’t be fooled by many millions of dollars of TV ads—paid for by public employee unions using automatic payroll deduction—distorting the issue and attempting to mislead the voters. Instead, tell your friends about Prop 32 and be sure to:

Vote Yes on Prop 32!
