(April 7, 2010): George Lakoff withdraws first version of the California Democracy Act, and launches new campaign for a second version. Click here to read more and to learn why we must continue writing letters to Jerry Brown.
On March 22, 2010, our pollster David Binder issued his summary on the poll that was conducted March 6-11, 2010. Click here to check out the poll summary.
Because of these results, we have resubmitted "The California Democracy Act" to the Attorney General's office for a new title and summary and we are asking supporters to write letters to help us get a new title and summary for our initiative.
Also important to note, last week we were informed that the California Teachers Association (CTA) overwhelmingly passed a resolution at their state council meeting urging their members to sign and circulate petitions for our initative. This of course, comes on the heels of last week's announcement that the California Federation of Teachers (CFT) passed a resolution at their 2010 Convention to endorse "The California Democracy Act" if it reaches the ballot. We want to thank these groups for their support!!!

THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRACY ACT
“All legislative actions on revenue and budget
must be determined by a majority vote”
Also known as the CA Majority Rule Campaign, it changes two words in the
California Constitution: “Two-thirds” becomes “a majority” in two places.
That’s all it takes to make California sane and solvent again.
RETURN DEMOCRACY TO CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 2010
The majority of voters choose the majority of legislators. That’s simple democracy. And it is simple democracy that the majority of legislators provide for the needs of the people they represent.
Without such democracy, there is the gridlock, economic chaos and suffering we now face in California. We, the majority of voters, can restore democracy to California, and with it, responsible economic management. One sentence will do it.
All legislative actions on revenue and budget must be determined by a majority vote.
The infamous “2/3 rules” mean that 1/3+1 (a 34% minority) in either house controls the legislature by voting “No” until they get what they want. They want to keep the state government from serving public needs, and they are succeeding.
You can stop them by returning democracy to California. Sign the petition, and vote Yes on the California Democracy Act.
