49% of the people support the idea according to the Field Poll.
The opposition and we know that the voters are going to vote YES on the June 3, 2008 ballot.
The Reform is a really good idea because:
$100,000,000 will be spent in California in newspaper, TV, and Radio purchases.
California being an ATM for national candidates will no longer exist.
It returns the power of the vote back to the people.
It reinforces our founding fathers concept of representative government.
Presidential candidates will no longer ignore California.
California will become a competitive market in the Presidential
race forcing candidates to campaign in this great state.
Grass roots political issues (energy/environment) will be discussed in the election.
Independents and third party votes will matter.
Local and Rural voters will have a voice.
California will reflect its political demography.
It enhances the importance of swing voters and competitive districts.
It is the fairest system possible.
The current system is that the winner of the popular vote in
California takes all 55 Electors.
The Los Angeles voters determine the Electors for the entire State.
This is not democratic, and is unfair.
