JOIN KITCHEN TABLE DEMOCRACY FOR OUR FAMOUS PRE-ELECTION ANALYSIS AND OPEN MIKE NIGHT.

YIKES!!!!!!!!!! The Propositions on this ballot could fundamentally change government in our state.

The props and this election ARE REALLY IMPORTANT. The
Governator's polls are low and so are the polls on the props. This there is an expectation of low voter turn out. Why does that matter? Republicans always vote. Democrats don't. So a low turn out could mean that just a few Californians decide the future of our
state.

Grover Norquist who wants to drown government in a bathtub has set up offices in the 15 states that have Republican governors. The purpose of which is to put measures on the ballot that will permanently change the way government is conducted. He and Rove have basically written all these ballot measures.

AN INFORMED ELECTORATE IS A POWERFUL ELECTORATE.

Join us to help you understand the significance of this election.

Please let us know if you are coming. Bring a snack or drink to share.
