Here are some issues at the forefront in California:
|
|
Universal
Health Care
|
We
have a chance for universal, single payer health care in California
that won't cost us a penny. Unfortunately,
the Governator vetoed SB 840 :(. With so many millions of Californians without health
care, we can't afford to be
without it. See Health
Care for All CA for more info.

WATTS UP
America and support their effort to bring zero pollution, 100%
renewable solar energy to Long Beach.

Electoral Reform
|
National
elections in 2000, 2002, and 2004 exposed massive problems across
the country. We need to not only fix the voting mechanisms, but the electoral system itself, with such common sense, democratic
ideas as proportional representation and instant runoff
voting. The 2002 Long Beach Mayoral race and subsequent city
council races are further proof
that we need change. Check out the Center for
Voting and Democracy's website for more details, or our IRV
action page for local actions you can take.

Bring
the Troops Home!
|
Evidence
has been mounting since before the invasion that the War on Iraq is
a horrible, costly, and unnecessary bloodshed. Visit www.BringThemHomeNow.org
or the Coalition
for World Peace for ideas and actions you can take every day to
help bring this war to an end. Also check out the Department
of Peace campaign, to establish a permanent Cabinet level
department charged with averting war rather than perpetuating
it. What a wonderful concept!
