Congressman Alan Grayson says "Don't mess this up" -- pass Proposition 15!

[terryvh47]

We've have to cut the ties that big money have into the pockets of our politicians. The sooner they return to the basic principle of "of the people, by the people and for the people" and not of the lobbyist, for the big money the better. We've got to pass Prop 15!

[iShming]

Opponents will just keep repeating that now is not the time, or there is a better way. It's just a big lie to keep things the same where lobbyists and big money control politics for their own interest. DON'T MESS THIS UP CALIFORNIA!!! A YES ON PROP 15 means CHANGE! It means a real difference in the kind of politician that can throw their hat in the ring, the kind of politician with IDEAS, not BACKERS... ELECTIONS SHOULD BE WON, NOT BOUGHT! YES ON PROP 15. DO NOT MESS THIS UP CALIF!

I bet Grayson is the sponsor of this proposition. He is the only candidate running that can completely fun his own campaign ($32,000,000).

@Cindi3847 Prop 15 is co-chaired by the League of Women Voters of California, the California Clean Money Action Fund, California Common Cause, and the California Nurses Association. Congressman Grayson is just one of hundreds endorsers, from the AARP to the Consumer Federation of California to the Los Angeles Times, who know that we have to change the way we finance election campaigns if we want politicians to focus on the needs of voters instead of big money special interests.

@yesfairelections

I am very aware of prop 15. I would be in favor of this if you limited the amount a person could spend self funding their own campaign. If you limit the amount a candidate can raise and let the rich candidates spend a small part of their massive fortunes, you will only have rich members of Congress like Grayson. You picked the wrong man to do your commercial.

Also, Grayson is a laughing stock of moderate Democrats and Independents through out the country..

@Cindi3847 @Cindi3847 The Supreme Court has made it clear they won't allow any limits on what candidates can personally spend. What Prop 15 does is provide enough public funds for qualified candidates who are NOT wealthy or don't know wealthy donors to run for office and win. That's what's happened very successfully in Maine and Connecticut, where over 80% of their legislature was elected without raising or spending any private funds on their campaigns at all!
