We all hear the commercials every election cycle telling us "Vote yes (or no) on proposition such and such."  Then, when election day rolls around you have the chance to go into your voting booth and pass the proposal into law or vote no if you believe it is bad policy.

The California Jobs Initiative will appear on your ballot in 2010.  Placing an initiative on the ballot is no easy task, as it requires the collection of hundreds of thousands of signatures in a relatively short window of time.  By April 16th, we must collect 433,971 valid signatures.

In California, the initiative process can act as a check on the power of the political establishment.  Initiatives effectively give ordinary citizens the power to change laws by signing petitions and then voting on the proposals.

AB 32 was put into place by Sacramento politicians, but it is clear that this misguided attempt to address climate change will be ineffective in its stated goals, will kill over 1 million jobs and impose massive new costs on businesses and families.  Of concern to all who value our freedoms, AB 32 will increase government control over previously individual decisions.

The California Jobs Initiative allows regular citizens to suspend this job-killing law and get our state back to work whether the political establishment likes it or not!
