Will Initiatives Save California?

Kevin Kiley's latest post shames Newsom for yet another failure in the federal courts, this time dealing with AB 32, which all but shut down ICE detention centers. The supremacy clause pushed back on this abuse of power, according to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Big Victory.

And there's more.

A number of initiatives are going through for people to collect the signatures to place the efforts on the ballot. Do you think they are worth the effort? Even if they pass, will there be political will and willingness to enforce the ballot measures?

Here's the latest blog from State Assemblyman Kevin Kiley:

Another California law has been ruled unconstitutional. With AB 32, Newsom and the Legislature tried to force ICE to close its detention facilities. Today the 9th Circuit held this violates the Supremacy Clause.

Next year, Newsom and the legislators who passed this law will face voters. Perhaps more importantly, several transformative initiatives will be on the ballot. 

The full list of initiatives soon gathering signatures for the 2022 election includes:

  • School Choice. Let funding follow the child 
  • Water Storage. End the era of shorter showers
  • Death Tax Repeal. Restore a protection of Prop. 13
  • Election Integrity. Require voter ID
  • Taxpayer Protection. Require voter approval for tax increases
  • Anti-Corruption. End government union collective bargaining
  • Accurate Ballots. Assure accurate descriptions of Propositions

Our movement is creating a new landscape of political possibility, and the fight for California’s future has only just begun.
