Subject: On Community Organize: Get rid of CA's two-thirds rule!
A message to all members of Community Organize
A group of California Obama organizers are fed up with California's arcane and unworkable budget process, and want to get to work fixing this mess.
How? We want to use our networks to build a grassroots movement to get rid of the CA Budget's two-thirds rule.
California is one of only three states that require a two-thirds majority to pass a budget and it has resulted in the legislature failing to pass a budget by the constitutional deadline 28 of the last 32 years!
We can't fix education, or health care, or the environment if we don't fix our budgeting process.
Will you sign up on Change California - Overturn the Two-Thirds Rule (Yes We Can Change California) (https://restoremajorityrule.com) to indicate your interest in supporting repeal of the two-thirds rule?
As President Obama told us more than once, our work is just beginning. California needs your help, and we need your support in order to begin this necessary process.
Let me know when you check it out -- and pass it on to others who you think would be interested in supporting this movement.
Thanks for all you do.
