Reply #9: All great EXCEPT I say avoid Common Cause - I don't trust them

[diva77]

The past 3 years, Common Cause has shown up at various election integrity related meetings, and I really don't think their first priority is election integrity. Therefore, I would skip the survey at their site that's on your list, Gary. Here is an example:

Common Cause is on the WRONG side of the issue for Prop. 11 in CA (they support prop. 11) -- in a nutshell, here is why people should vote NO on 11

NO -- PROP 11 -- "Redistricting" CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT & STATUTE

Changes the authority for redistricting from the state legislature to a citizens' commission selecte d through a complex multilevel process that gives Republicans a bonus over their registration numbers. Democrats lose. Arnold's "Voters' First" PAC is heavily funding this along
with all the major Republican fat cats and a sprinkling of Dems. We're talking well over $7 million going to start turning CA red. Arguments in favor of this allude to "fairness" and "democracy." REGISTRATION in our state is heavily Democratic. So, passing this takes it away.

Prop. 11 must be defeated if we are to maintain our majority and protect our coastline.
