We the undersigned citizens of California strongly urge our leadership in the California Federation of Labor, the California Teachers Association, and all other labor groups to initiate a movement to place a progressive initiative or series of initiatives on the California ballot for the next election which PLACES THE BURDEN OF TAXES ON THOSE WHO CAN BEST AFFORD THEM AND RESOLVES THE STATE BUDGET DEFICIT WITH NO CUTS TO SERVICES
The feedback I receive highlights a shared concern for how our state budget impacts the most vulnerable among us. Behind the scenes I am coordinating with local advocates to determine the most effective way to present these ideas to labor leadership.
April 20, 2011
Seeing this movement gain such steady momentum confirms that many Californians are ready to rethink our current fiscal path. It is a quiet but powerful reminder that people are waiting for leadership that prioritizes equity over austerity.

California used to be great. Now we just pay more for less. Do the right thing.

Enough with the cuts already. My kids school is falling apart and they want to cut more programs? Fix the tax brackets on the wealthy people and leave my taxes alone.
