This is so important. Voters need their voices heard. Thank you. ********** [143642:100515] R.P., Sylmar, CA One Person, One Vote.

The people have a right to have a voice and say. ********** [104030:091414] D.W., Palmdale, CA Freedom needs to be upheld. ********** [103518:091414] P.H., Los Angeles, CA How Dare You!!! This action on your part lines you up with the crooks who want to be able to buy our country. The money being put up to support Republican Candidates and defeat Democratic candidates and issues is obscene, and the donors of these drastic amounts of money don't even live in these states. WE don't have a democracy any more--we have an oligarchy, like our neighbors to the South, where a few rich and influential people control everything and the poor get no consideration at all. I'm sure glad that you are elected and not appointed for life. I'll be watching for your names and will not support you for re-election regardless of when that time comes. Those of you who elected to remove Prop 49 from the ballot are just as crooked as the people who are creating these huge super-PACs and buying elections. ********** [145859:091214] M.B., Montrose, CA This is about letting the people speak out on the most important issue of a democracy. Is property (corporations) to be given the same rights as natural persons? The people and the legislature have asked for this, and you should not deny that level of public participation. ********** [102243:090814] M.H., Thousand Oaks, CA Your action was unfair. ********** [142221:090714] J.V., Elmira, OR The People of California /spoke/ about having a right to VOTE and the courts may not overturn this VOICE of the PEOPLE. Put Prop 49 back on the California ballot of November 2014 and stop abridging the RIGHTS of the PEOPLE who /are/ the government. ********** [091543:090414] J.G., Escondido, CA WE MUST STOP ALLOWING BIG MONEY TO BUY ELECTIONS. IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL !! ********** [165134:082914] R.R., Los Angeles, CA Citizens United totally undermines our democracy. Restore Proposition 49 to the ballot to help restore fair elections. ********** [141325:082814] M.B., Montrose, CA If a justice votes no on Prop 49, I will go after him or her at their retention election. Two of which are scheduled for this November. ********** [213341:082714] C.M., Pasadena, CA Remember, we have a government for the people and by the people. ********** [150139:082714] V.B., Santa Monica, CA The will of the people of the State of California dictates that this should be on the November 2014 ballot. Please follow the law and allow this back on the ballot. ********** [225218:082614] C.L., Valencia, CA How could our CA Supreme Court defy the will of the people? Corporate Thugs and Banksters clearly are running the show here as well as in Washington. ********** [222824:082614] k.c., Los Angeles, CA Put prop 49 back on the ballot. We must overturn Citizens United if we are ever to return to a democratic system of govt in the USA ********** [211320:082614] G.H., Studio City, CA Put Prop 49, The Overturn Citizens United Act, Back On The Ballot. ********** [205853:082614] L.S., Beverly Hills, CA This is ridiculous. There is no cost to the state to have this on the ballot. This is the people's will. ********** [134710:082614] H.T., Oakland, CA It is an outrage that the court will not let the voters weigh in on an issue as important as citizens united which is undermining our democracy. ********** [061553:082614] V.D., Los Angeles, CA It seems an inappropriate measure to remove proposition 49 from the November ballot. Please consider it's reinstatement. CA residents deserve this platform. Our voices must be heard. Thank you! ********** [225247:082514] G.D., Berkeley, CA A democratic voting system only works when it is counteD.by votes, not by the amount of money used to influence an election or proposition. An election swayed by money is never good for any real persons, only corporations. MONEY OUT, VOTES IN NOW!!!! ********** [212236:082514] M.M., Santa Barbara, CA Our Democracy should not be for sale! ********** [211833:082514] M.D., Jamestown, CA This is supposed to be a government of the people, for the people and by the people, not the Supreme Court, so if the majority of Americans believe that Citizens United should be struck down, then it is struck down!!! ********** [195256:082514] A.S., Oakland, CA I want the Citizens United Act repealed. Put Prop 49 "Overturn the Citizen's United Act" back on the ballot. Anne Sagewood ********** [182000:082514] C.F., Santa Monica, CA So, four of the California Supremes think that the people of California don't deserve a chance to weigh in on this issue. According to my reading of the U.S. Constitution, the First Amendment guarantees that "Congress shall make no law...abridging the right of the people [me, in this case] to petition their government for a redress of grievances," and what is prohibited to Congress is thus prohibited to the states. This mechanism has been used several times throughout California history, most recently in 2007, and it was fine then? So why is it not fine now? Methinks the subject matter upsetting to these justices, and their sense of whom they see themselves serving, which from my position is not the people of California. Well, two of them are coming up for re-election: Goodwin Liu and Kathryn Werdegar. Assuming they fail to relent on this undemocratic decision in time for the November ballot, let us make that the poll of the public sentiment on those who see no problem with turning over our democracy to unlimited corporate funding. ********** Go Back
