I guess you know my position now: YES ON 50.

So, California must, once again, step up and do its part to protect the nation. We did it with air emission standards. We did it with CEQA. We did it with fuel economy. We’ll do it again by offsetting the Yellow Thumb of TX, and by Showing MO that their attempts to cowtow to Trump are for naught.

And for that, we need fair and balanced districting. Trump has convinced some states to put their thumbs on the scale of that balance in order to tip the scales in favor of the MAGA Republicans, regardless of the ballot box.

We would have independent commissions drawing boundaries once every 10 years, and there would be no Gerrymandering.

But we live in Trump’s world, and the only way to remove Trump from office (barring natural causes), or at least hold him accountable, is through the ballot box.

We would make it easy for citizens to register and vote, and to vote securely by mail. We wouldn’t put roadblocks in the way of registration (such as requiring certified birth certificates, passports, proof of marital name changes, or long trips to get those documents).
