Big oil, drug 
companies, insurers, developers, HMOs, and some big 
unions are corrupting our political system by using 
their millions of dollars in campaign cash to buy 
influence with our legislators.  This costs taxpayers 
billions in special interest giveaways.

That's why 
it's time to 
clean up the way we finance election campaigns so 
that politicians are accountable to the voters 
instead of to the special interests who make these 
massive 
campaign contributions.

Proposition 
89 on the ballot this November is our best chance in 
years to clean 
up this corrupt system and make sure we can elect 
leaders with the best ideas, not the biggest special 
interest contributors.

But we need your help.&nbsp; We are:

&bull;&nbsp; League of Women Voters of 
California</br>
&bull;&nbsp; Sierra Club California</br>
&bull;&nbsp; California Clean Money Campaign</br>
&bull;&nbsp; California Church IMPACT</br>
&bull;&nbsp; Equal Justice Society</br>
&bull;&nbsp; California Common Cause</br>

We're 
speaking for a coalition of over 200 organizations 
working with the California Nurses Association, the
AARP,
the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights for 
the best chance in years to clean up politics and let 
the voters take control.&nbsp; We're asking you to 
do two things:

1)&nbsp; Sign the petition for 
Proposition&nbsp;89, 
the California Clean Money and Fair Elections Act.  
(Please sign it now even if 
you've signed before.)

2)&nbsp; Forward this message to others 
and ask them to sign, too:

http://www.89now.org/petition (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=s9bs5xbab.0.jvs6mzbab.kenmtrbab.10855&ts=S0211&p=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fy9x598)

Your 
petition will immediately
be emailed to our leaders, along with any comments 
you add
yourself.  That way Governor Schwarzenegger and 
your own legislators will 
hear from
each and everyone who signs now.  Then they'll 
know that they have to get behind 
Proposition&nbsp;89 if 
they want to represent the will of the voters.&nbsp; 
So sign it 
now even if you've signed it before. 

CALIFORNIA NEEDS PROPOSITION 
89

You probably aren't surprised by  all the campaign 
corruption scandals, like Jack 
Abramoff buying influence in Washington or California 
Congressman Duke Cunningham sentenced to 
over 8 years in prison for selling out our nation's 
defense.

But the problem goes deeper than that. The 
system itself is corrupt, with millions of dollars
spent 
every year by special interests for the ever-
increasing numbers of negative ads.

It doesn't 
have to be this way.  Proposition&nbsp;89 has three 
powerful components that will change government for 
the better:

&bull;&nbsp; Strict Contribution Limits 
that will end the fundraising madness with 
constitutional limits so regular voters aren't drowned 
out by big money.

&bull;&nbsp; Clean Money Full Public 
Financing 
of Political Campaigns that will level the playing 
field so new candidates can win on their ideas, not 
because of the money they raise.

&bull;&nbsp; Tough Disclosure and 
Enforcement that will stop candidates from 
hiding behind negative ads and punish politicians who 
violate the law.

Clean Money is already working in other states 
like Arizona and Maine, putting a brake on the 
political money chase and making politicians 
accountable to voters, not big money 
contributors.

Clean 
legislators in Arizona and Maine vote to protect the 
environment more often. Both states have lowered 
the price of prescription drugs. In contrast to 
California's never-ending budget deficits fueled by 
giveaways to campaign contributors, 
both Arizona and Maine have managed to pass 
balanced budgets that increase funding for the 
services their citizens want.

CALIFORNIA NEEDS YOUR 
SIGNATURE

California deserves Clean Money, too. Thanks to the 
efforts of the growing Clean Money coalition, 
volunteers 
across the state, and to the California Nurses 
Association putting Proposition&nbsp;89 on the 
ballot, we 
now have a historic opportunity that if passed will be 
heard around the nation.

We don't 
have the money that the lobbyists and special 
interests who are trying to kill Prop&nbsp;89 
do.&nbsp; But 
we can win 
if we show the state that we have something 
can't buy:&nbsp; the voice of the people.

Sign the 
petition for Prop&nbsp;89 now:

CALIFORNIA NEEDS YOU TO PASS IT 
ON

Then forward this email to your friends, family, and 
group so
they can make their voice heard, too. We need 
thousands to
sign the petition to make it crystal clear that 
Californians
want their government to be accountable to the 
voters, not to 
big campaign contributors.

You can 
sign 
the petition and take other actions there. 

This is the 
perfect
time for Californians to take control of politics by 
demanding change. We urge you to seize the moment 
and 
make your voice
heard by signing the petition now (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=s9bs5xbab.0.jvs6mzbab.kenmtrbab.10855&ts=S0211&p=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fy9x598).
