It's on - I just got a text from the CA Democratic Party taking contributions for the Election Rigging Response Act.

I believe it is a legitimate request from a legitimate source, California Democrats. Led right to my ActBlue account. I donated.

On the other hand, I got another fraud text from allegedly the California Franchise Tax oard this morning. I had to follow some instructions or my refund would be held up and if I didn’t do it right now today, the offer would be invalid and I’d lose my money.

It came from some long sequence of numbers in the phone exchange, I didn’t go for that one.

Prediction: Republicans and related fascist oligarchs will spend more money to defeat the California pro-redistricting initiative than has been spent in any other contest besides Presidential races.

Level the playing field.
Yes on redistricting through 2030


Get the message across while the hand is in the way to the garbage pail.

This affects all Democrats everywhere, not just Californians.
