In 2008 the people of California said, loudly, we wanted to control the redistricting process, not the hack politicians trading communities and making safe districts for most everybody.
Now, the Measure is being made more robust. The previous measure only covered the Assembly and State Senate. Prop. 20 will cover the Congress as well.
San Fran Nan wants the previous measure repealed , Prop. 27 and the killing of Prop.20...this is the people vs. the politicians.
"The seeds of political power lie in the hands of those who control the architecture of redistricting. Traditionally, state legislatures have the power to divide the political pie that is the population of a state. If one power dominates the legislature, those who draw the lines can create districts that protect and secure the centers of power.
The California Democratic Party, with the quiet and sly approval of some accommodating Republicans, divided the state according to its political needs and desires in 2001. Safe districts were carved out for both Democrats and Republicans. If the goal of the boundary makers was to serve incumbents of both parties, it certainly worked: Only one congressional district changed party control in the last 10 years."
It is time to have regime change--have the people take over the government from the career politicians, the unions and other special interests.
Yes on Prop. 20, NO on Prop.27.
