California's 'Special Exemptions' Act: The BIGGEST THREAT You Haven't Heard Of

[Segami]

4. Los Angeles County Federation of Labor AFL-CIO, the second largest central labor body in the nation

is working against Prop 32.


From their site:

Proponents of Proposition 32 claim it would rein in campaign contributions by both unions and corporations, but in fact, the deceptive wording of the initiative specifically targets union members, while a big loophole leaves corporate campaign contributions essentially unscathed and unchecked.

The bottom line is this: If Proposition 32 passes, billionaires, Wall Street and business interests will rule California politics, and our allies in labor will be powerless to stand up to them. They will purchase competitive elections in swing districts, and fund blue dogs in Democratic districts. They will use the "citizen initiative" process to rewrite California's laws and constitution as they see fit, while progressive opponents will be hamstrung and relegated to trying to find our own billionaires willing to invest altruistically in the public good.
