[quote=CA renter]Just to be clear, I have no problem with getting ALL money out of politics, but it has to be equal. If labor is shut out completely, then capital must be shut out entirely. No corporate contributions, and more importantly, no INDIVIDUAL contributions or “favors” of any kind should be allowed. No promises of political/business connections, no promises of jobs or other types of income enhancements, no private or public funding of candidates or propositions, nor other favors to be offered now or in the future. We need fair and honest campaign reform, and Prop 32 is as far from honest as one can get.[/quote]
Unfortunately due to Citizens United, it’s pretty much impossible to control it at the state level. Money is now considered free speech, Corporations are People, my friend. California’s hands are probably tied unless the SOCUS revisits Citizens United.
