Do I understand correctly there will be a single proposition with the dual functions of 1) prohibiting public employee unions from contributing to politicians and 2) prohibiting corporations from contributing to politicians.
These two functions should have been in separate propositions, NOT in a single proposition. What if the proposition is deemed unconstitutional because it is considered free speech for corporations to donate money to politicians?
I am adamant that we need to halt public union money from being donated to politicians. That is critical.
I am going to be furious if this proposition passes and is then overturned in total because the courts rule that we don’t have the power to prohibit a corporation’s free speech right to donate money to politicians.
I hope and pray this proposition is well thought out and does not violate a corporation’s free speech rights. I would be livid if this critical need to hamstring the CA state employee unions from extorting money to give to state Dems is overturned because it was combined with an unconstitutional provision.
I hope whoever wrote this proposition did their homework and doesn’t shaft us. It is just absolutely critical to starve the CA state Democrats of public employee union money, so this had better work. If it doesn’t, I’m going to scream.
if that is true then conservatives have to reject it. free speech for all is a bedrock principle. if unions want to contribute from “voluntarily” paid dues from voluntary union membership, then so be it. right now, that isn’t the case. sounds like the usual trick propositions foisted on the hapless ca democrats by the powers that be.
