To: California Supreme Court, Clerk
Let us Vote on Prop 49 -- We will not be silenced
We are appalled that you have banned voters from instructing Congress to overturn the US Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United by removing Prop 49 from our ballots. I call upon you to honor the tradition used by the Framers of both the US and California Constitutions whereby citizens can direct our elected representatives to take specific action. Restore Prop 49 to the ballot.
Why is this important?
The California Supreme Court has blocked voters from directing Congress to overturn the Citizens United ruling by removing Proposition 49 from this November's ballot. The Court may allow it back on the ballot when they consider the case in September. The courts are telling us that corporations are people and their campaign spending is free speech. Now they are telling us that real people are not allowed to speak back with our votes.
