One Sentence Can Change California History
Our proposition is simple – one sentence, 14 words:
All legislative actions on revenue and budget must be determined by a majority vote.
Why Is Our Budget Process Failing California?
Right now, a small minority of legislators (1/3 plus 1) of either the assembly or senate can block the will of the majority. This is undemocratic. It has led to the closing of our state parks, public libraries, and fire departments. It has decimated our educational system and social safety net. It is time now to ACT.
CA Majority Rule & The CA Majority Rule Campaign —
We are a coalition of grassroots organizations, advocacy groups, web-based collectives, union members, Democratic clubs, religious groups and concerned Californians working to change the vote requirement to a majority for passing revenue and budget.
The majority of voters choose the majority of legislators. That’s simple democracy. And it is simple democracy that the majority of legislators provide for the needs of the people they represent. Without such democracy, there is gridlock, economic chaos and suffering.
We, the majority of voters, can restore democracy to California, and with it, responsible economic management.
All legislative actions on revenue and budget must be determined by majority vote.
