To: Governor Gavin Newsom
Thank Governor Brown for more disclosure of proposition funders!
Governor Brown: Thanks for signing SB 844 to increase transparency by telling voters in the ballot pamphlet where they can find online disclosure of ballot measure funders.
Please continue your leadership by working with the California Clean Money Campaign and others like me to pass the California DISCLOSE Act in 2015 so political ads can't deceive voters about who paid.

Why is this important?
Great News! After more than 11,000 people signed petitions, thousands left comments on his website, and hundreds called — Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 844. Another big win for transparency this year!
Authored by Senator Fran Pavley, SB 844 will make it easy to see online who's spending money for and against California propositions. It requires the Secretary of State to create an online page listing the total amount raised and the top ten funders for and against. Perhaps most importantly, the official ballot pamphlet will include a link to the page so it’s easy to find.
Please sign the petition thanking Governor Brown and urging him to join the California Clean Money Campaign to pass the California DISCLOSE Act in 2015.
