A tough read. Maybe those farmers, cattlemen & the people in WV who need prescriptions should stop voting for politicians who don't give a toss?

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
