CA initiative seeks to make LG’s crappy photoshop job a reality

Filed in National by on February 8, 2016

We know many politicians are owned by their donors. This ballot initiative would make make it impossible to miss

Can you tell me more about the initiative? What are you proposing, exactly?

The initiative is a statutory change that will basically require every state legislator in California – there are 120 – to wear the logos of their major sponsors, their 10 biggest donors. It’ll be like NASCAR drivers or race car drivers or golfers or tennis players who wear the logos of their sponsors. They only have to wear it when they’re casting votes or giving testimony, they don’t have to put it on their pajamas before they go to bed at night.

We have the opinions of lawyers that it passes constitutional muster. It’s needed to inform the public as to who’s involved in supporting these people. The initiative is meant to ridicule an absurd system and focus people on finding a solution to it. I believe there are solutions. We’re going to be talking about one that we think is a solution, and that will come in 2018, but now we’re happy just to get this on the ballot, get it passed, get people to focus on correcting the imbalances in this system under which big businesses and big unions and wealthy donors basically control our politics.

    Like Carper, I’d like it to enhance my passive earnings to the point that I don’t have to please anyone to keep or improve my standard of living.
