Today’s the big Election Day here in California and I’ve already been out since 6am this morning helping to volunteer with the local progressive organization doing GOTV (Get Out the Vote). Californians have a lot to decide on once they get to the ballot box today and you can check out handy voters guides here from our local coalition partners. 

 

While it is too soon to call victory for anyone, the big losers that we need are corporations and the dirty state ballot initiatives that they've bankrolled such as Proposition 23 and 26. Oil companies such as Valero, Tesoro and Chevron has thrown millions of dollars towards supporting Prop 23 and 26 to protect their own self-interest. And they’re not the only ones because the now famous Koch Brother billionaires have put their hat in the running as well. 

Check out our video of Greenpeace’s Climate Crime Unit searching for the Koch brothers last week at a luncheon featuring some of the climate denial think tanks that they fund. Help spread the video around and tell people to vote NO on 23 and 26. 

 

 

 

We’re sick of corporate money and out state billionaires playing with California politics. I hope that we all show up in massive numbers today to defeat corporate supported ballot initiatives or the candidates taking money from dirty energy.  California is ready to continue its transition into a green economy and today we’ll send the message that corporations cannot slow us down.
