Now is the Time to Protect Schools
and Critical Services.
Sign the Pledge TODAY to Vote YES!
It's official: This January, there
will be a special election on two ballot measures that will
protect funding for critical services: schools, healthcare
(including reproductive health care), and public
safety.
Measures 66 and 67 will protect nearly $1 billion in
funding for our classrooms, senior care, and other critical
services. But most people--including your friends and
family--don't know there's an election coming up, or that they
should vote YES to preserve services and protect middle-class
taxpayers.
Here's how you can help right now,
without even leaving the comfort of your
chair:

Pledge. By signing the pledge, you'll let the campaign know

people who still need to be persuaded to vote
YES.
Email your friends and
family. You are the most credible
spokesperson your friends and family will hear throughout the
campaign. (We even got you started on the email--click

Vote YES on
Measures 66 and 67 on January 26!
Measures 66 and 67 protect funding for
critical services by increasing the $10 corporate minimum income
tax (for the first time since 1931) and increasing the tax rate
on household income above $250,000. In this time of economic
crisis, it's critical that we preserve basic services
(education, healthcare, and public safety) while keeping the
burden off of middle-class families.
Voting YES on 66 and 67 will help keep our
schools open, our senior citizens in their homes, and our
communities safe.
