You want to shake things up? Then get radical -- not far-out radical, but get to the root of what ails the system: Today's politicians are dependent on special-interest money to fund their campaigns. And he who pays the piper calls the tune.
There's a solution: Clean Money -- public funding of election campaigns, as practiced in Arizona, Maine, and now under consideration by the California State Senate in AB 583, sponsored by Assemblywoman Loni Hancock.
Arizona has shown that Clean Money enables more women, minorities, and young people to run for office AND WIN. Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano in 2002 became the nation's first governor elected with NO special interest campaign contributions -- ZERO, ZIP, and NO personal wealth. She's a Democrat, in a RED state, elected in a "RED" year. This is your path to power, my friends.
Write or call your state senator NOW to pass AB 583.
