Ban out-of state or foreign money from State and local elections
Why is this important?
I strongly believe that state elections should ONLY allow contributions from individuals,groups or companies residing in that state. What happened in CA with Prop 8-the Anti Gay Marriage Prop, is a perfect example of how outside money can and did influence the election. Another example, the cigarette tax that was just defeated in CA. The money spent by tobacco companies to defeat prop 29 was completely obscene and successful. This is happening more and more in every state. Non resident contributions should not be allowed.
