To: The California State Senate
Let California Vote Down Citizens United
Support SB 1272 to let California voters call for a constitutional amendment to establish that corporations are not people and that unlimited campaign spending is not free speech.
Why is this important?
While Vice President at Common Cause, I led ballot campaigns in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Colorado and Montana where voters instructed Congress to overturn Citizens United by margins of 3-to-1. Now, it's time for a statewide vote in California. I'm running for Secretary of State, and if elected I will hold a hearing in every congressional district in California to examine whether our elected officials have complied with the wishes of their constituents and taken action.
