3. The billionaires are good at this stuff

They own the TV networks, the newspapers, the biggest social media sites and they have literally billions to throw at this. Polls show the redistricting initiative ahead by 20 points. That won’t last. This fight is going to get so dirty!

At the moment I don’t know where to put my money but I’m going to figure it out and dig as deep as I can to give our side a fighting chance

The first thing I’m doing is calling and texting the California League of Women voters and let them know that a no recommendation regarding the initiative is a terrible, terrible idea. The anti initiative people have already sent out a giant mass mailing to Californios that contains lies and misrepresentations of the Leagues position. The anti forces are playing dirty already

Call The League is and let them know where you stand:
Phone CA League of Women Voters,
916 442-7215

Or email:
