Here is the press release from Steve Poizner’s campaign.
POIZNER ENDORSES THE CITIZEN POWER INITIATIVE
Republican candidate for Governor Steve Poizner issued the following statement today announcing his endorsement of the Citizen Power Initiative, a ballot initiative which prohibits deducting earnings from public employees for political activities:
“The Citizen Power Initiative will help break the endless flow of money into the pockets of the special interest groups that have dominated influence in Sacramento and help put us in a budget crisis. Rank and file public employees in our state should not be forced to fund political machines, and I’m proud to be an active voice to help the Citizen Power Campaign stand up for Californians. I encourage all voters to support the Citizen Power Initiative and help get it on ballot this November.”
The official initiative title, as provided by the Attorney General, is “Makes Illegal the Use of Public Employee Wage Deductions for Political Activities.” Read the summary here (scroll down to 1403) and full text here.
