April 17, 2006

California needs clean money and fair elections! On Wednesday, April 19, the Senate Elections Committee will meet to hear and vote on AB 583 (Hancock), the California Clean Money and Fair Elections Act. Thank you to all who have contacted your senator and Senate President pro Tem Don Perata in support of this bill.

As an additional way to support AB 583, please read the letter about Clean Money at http://lwvc.org/action/clean_money.html and click on the link in it to sign the petition in support. Then forward this e-mail on to colleagues, friends and family.

About the letter: The LWVC has joined the California Clean Money Campaign, Sierra Club California, California NOW and several other major advocacy groups in sending the letter to people all around California. It contains links to the petition at http://www.CAclean.org/petition, a petition that will send your message straight to Governor Schwarzenegger and Senator Perata as well as to your own representatives.

Join the coalition of over 100 organizations--reform, environmental, civil rights, women’s, religious, labor, student and grassroots groups--in making a final push for AB 583 before Wednesday’s hearing!
