Please try to come on Saturday, October 7th, from 4-6 p.m. to learn more about &/or support the Clean Money Proposition. It may be the single most important ballot proposition in our history. It would change the way politics are financed, and if successful in California (already in effect in Maine and Arizona, and several other states), it would change politics throughout the country. Obviously, politics are now only about money and how much a candidate (or proponents of a ballot proposition) can raise. Without money the candidate has no chance. Public financing has worked in Arizona and Maine, where 10 out of 11 candidates run on public financing -- that means they don't have to spend time raising funds--they can do their job-- working for their constituents (what a concept)! They are not obligated to lobbyists. URGE YOUR FRIENDS TO VOTE FOR 89, URGE YOUR FRIENDS TO COME OCT 7 It works, and it could work here. Jan & Jerry for more infomation, go to the attachements. also go to the following web sites: www.89.now.org <http://www.89.now.org>; www.caclean.org <http://www.caclean.org>; Californians deserve open, effective government that is accountable to them, not to the special interests Publicly financed elections are the first step!

It establishes a system of full public financing for state election campaigns, caps campaign spending and contributions, and includes tough enforcement for politicians who break the law. Best of all, new candidates with good ideas can run on a level playing field and win. Proposition 89 will make elections about ideas, not money! see web sites: www.89Now.com & www.caclean.com makes checks payable CLEAN MONEY NOW 11844 W.
