CA Democracy Act

There is one week to go to sign the CA Democracy Act. Click HERE to download a petition to sign to make sure this legislation is on the upcoming ballot.

Why does it matter? For too long, the California legislature has been handicapped by arcane rules that prohibit it from making smart financial decisions. The result is this - the minority controls the majority! How can that be? At present, all financial decisions require a 2/3 majority, so all it takes is 1/3 of the voters to block a budget or revenue decision of the majority.

The California Democracy Act, a non-partisan constitutional amendment authored by UC Berkeley Professor George Lakoff, consists in its entirety of a mere 14 words:

"All legislative actions on revenue and budget must be determined by a majority vote."
