Of course they are, rules for thee and not for me. Texas is fine but California is a descent into tyranny. "It violates state law so they are trying to get around it by putting it on a ballot" Well yes. That's exactly how the law works in California.

California Republicans claim they are outraged at how much it will cost for the special election in redistricting California but had no issue with how much it costed the tax payers when they tried to recall Newsom. Republicans in California can leave. They won't be missed.

In this moment, you can't trust any elected Republican to do the right thing. They all cave to the orange idiot like primatives worshipping the sky gods.

I’ve already received two mailer propaganda pieces urging me to vote no. Sent by two different conservative PACs in Marin and Orange County. So much pearl clutching.

We got ours Saturday in our PO Box which means it had to be mailed BEFORE the bill was signed. BTW: VotersFIRSTAct.org is NOT a non-profit despite the .org in the address. It's a PAC for sure.

Republicans are just fundamentally opposed to democracy.

Ummm - it's a Constitutional Amendment with a short lifespan, and yes, getting voter OK is the definite way to do it lawfully. Voters put it there. Voters can amend it. How it works. 🙄

Exactly. The vote allows us to approve or disapprove it rather than just legislators. Calif is a direct democracy and we can edit our constitution with a vote.

Those jerky GOP weren't involved in the Commission. I was. I was on the small committee that formed the ballot measure. If I'm not upset, what the hell are THEY whining about? The GOP opposed the whole THING 2008. Opponents call themselves VotersFIRSTAct, the NAME of Prop. 11. Those slime bags!

👍 CA sometimes is a direct democracy, sometimes a republic. But this IS direct, and we all need to promote it. It isn't stripping us of power but GIVING it to us.
