Sign the pledge to repeal the two-thirds budget rule.

Dear Friends,

California is in crisis - and conservatives are using it as an opportunity to advance their radical right-wing agenda.

The rule requiring a two-thirds vote of the legislature to pass a budget allowed a small cabal of extremists led by Senator Abel Maldonado to hold the state hostage to their demands. Their ransom? Severe budget cuts and strict prohibitions on taxes.

Every other state but two (Arkansas and Rhode Island) passes its budget with a simple majority. California needs to change the two-thirds vote rule for budgets so that anti-tax zealots can't override the will of the people year after year.

I just signed a pledge to fight to repeal the two-thirds budget rule -- I hope you will too.
Please have a look and take action.
