Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association, Local 9
California Alliance for Retired Americans
California Black Chamber of Commerce
California Church IMPACT
California Clean Money Campaign
California Common Cause "We face a serious problem with voter apathy and disgust over elections where there are no new ideas or faces. A Clean Money system levels the playing field for more qualified candidates with diverse points of view and backgrounds to run." - Kathay Feng, Executive Director
California Democratic Council
California Nurses Association "At a time of widening public disgust with the debasement of our political system by a culture of corporate corruption and lobbying scandals, this initiative gives Californians the tools to clean up the mess and take back our democracy." - Deborah Burger, President
CalPIRG "Right now big money largely determines which candidates have the resources to run for office and win an election. Prop 89 will enable politicians to be true to the interests of their constituents instead of wealthy donors." - Steve Blackledge, Legislative Director
Citizens for Peaceful Resolutions
Clean Money for Better Government
Common Cause "Californians are tired of pay-to-play politics and negative ad wars. Proposition 89 would go a long way toward giving citizens a louder voice and a more responsive government." - Chellie Pingree, President
Congress of California Seniors "As consumers who often live on fixed incomes, seniors battle special interests and big corporations every day to get fair laws to protect consumers. We support Proposition 89 because it will eliminate the corrosive affect of big special interest donations and help level the legislative playing field." - Hank Lacayo, President
Consumer Federation of California "All too often, consumer protection legislation is defeated in Sacramento by politicians who are beholden to the big business interests that bankroll their electoral campaigns. Proposition 89 would help reduce the influence of corporate campaign contributions on elected officials." - Richard Holober, Executive Director.
