A Panel Discussion

Two propositions on the November ballot may forever change democracy in California. If you are wondering what the differences are between the two propositions, if you are curious why proponents are trying to change districts, or if you are confused as to the implications of either measure, join us as we take a comprehensive look at both initiatives.

An interesting note on the propositions, there is a "Poison Pill" provision associated with them which means should both bills win a majority vote, the bill with the higher number of YES votes will the only one to go into effect.

Panelists: Kathay Feng, Executive Director, Common Cause; Rosalind Gold, Senior Director - Policy, Research & Advocacy, National Association of Latino Elected & Appointed Officials (NALEO) Education Fund; Janis Hirohama, California President, League of Women Voters; and Nathan Lowenstein, Supporter, Proposition 27

If you have an idea, be sure it follows League's principles, fits the interest of the group, is something that the League can have an influence on. Is this an issue on which legislative action is needed? Will political realities permit effective government action during the next two years? Does this issue involve a need not being well met by other groups? Is this an issue that would attract participation from the community and our members? Would it entice new members? diverse members? If recommending a study, will this issue still be timely when the study is completed in two years? Is there member interest and commitment to this topic? Could the League play a significant role in impacting community concern and/or public policy decisions on this issue? Is this an issue that will attract financial support? Given all this, what exactly do you want to accomplish for the next two years? What issue reflects the reality of League communities nationwide? It is time for you to decide.
