Don't be fooled by the ad's of Meg Whitman, claims that she can bring change to CA. Although she has good idea's about what she plans to do, I don't feel she is being realistic to what people who are not rich need. Which why, After carefully review Jerry Brown V. Meg Whitman I have decided to vote to for Jerry Brown.

Proposition 20

Endorsed Vote: Yes

Prop 20 gives redisitricting abilities to a 14-person panel, taking it out of the legislature's hands. simply extends what voters already approved in 2008 to It members of Congress so that the Citizens Redistricting Commission also has the authority to draw boundaries for U.S. congressional districts. By putting voters back in charge, politicians will have to be accountable to voters and focus more on solving problems or risk losing their jobs. Our representatives should be doing what's best for their constituents, not their own political careers or those of their friends.

Proposition 24 (Ajani Cook)

Endorsed Vote: No Endorsement

(Ajani Cook)
Prop 24 is the Repeal of Corporate Tax Breaks. The goal of the initiative is to stop several corporate tax breaks that are slated to go into effect in 2010 and 2012.
Arugments:
- The deal that resulted in the corporate tax breaks that would be repealed by Proposition 24 was done behind closed doors.
-Most California businesses don't benefit from the tax break that Prop 24 aims to repeal: "Prop. 24 will end tax loopholes that unfairly benefit less than 2% of California’s businesses that are the wealthiest, multi-state corporations. 98% of California’s businesses, especially small businesses, would get virtually no benefit from the tax breaks
Arguments Against:
-It will cost California 144,000 jobs because businesses who can't afford the tax will go bankrupt or move to another state. California already has 2 million unemployed people, and Prop 24 will just deepen the state's economic devastation.
-John Mullin, owner, Pacific M Painting, says, "Last year, small business bankruptcies in California rose 81%. I own a small business. Proposition 24 is just one more tax burden we can’t afford.
