California Nurses Back Public Financing of Elections

The California Nurses Association - one of the most powerful grassroots groups in the biggest state in America - is putting its considerable clout behind a statewide initiative to publicly finance elections. This is big news. The nurses are now in the organizing process, asking people to volunteer to help get signatures to get the measure on the ballot. If you live in California, you can sign up to help here. For more general information on the initiative, see the California Nurses Association's action center. If the biggest state in America passes a ballot measure to publicly finance elections it will send a strong signal that it is finally time to clean up our entire country's political system.
