Did you realize the vengeful bullying done by Sacramento electeds? Now CA Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg wants to increase the bullying power with Senate Constitutional Amendment 17. SCA 17 would also indefinitely steal representation from millions in our state.

CA Sen. Joel Anderson stands up against this in his op-ed printed in the Sacramento Bee May 15. Please read highlights from his piece, below. What does Joel recommend we DO about this? He requests that you CALL or FAX the 12 Republican CA senators to urge them to vote NO on SCA 17. When you call Sen. Anderson, we recommend you just thank him for his awesome work.

One last call you might make--to the San Diego Union Tribune -(800) 533-8830. Please request they print Senator Anderson’s Op-ed piece, which was printed by the LA Times and the Sacramento Bee.
