California presidential primary to help reelect incumbents like Nunez and Peralta
The California legislature is trying to move the presidential primary in the state from June 3 to February 5, 2008. That ballot will have two propositions. The first is from Arnie Schwartzenegger and concerns redistricting; presumably it's similar to his earlier proposal.
The second would extend term limits for our wonderful incumbents and would do so before a March 2008 deadline, thus allowing people such as Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez to continue their reigns.
Details here:
Essentially, California would have no real elections over the next four years, because we would have the same people running in the same districts where there is no competition.
UPDATE: For some unknown reason, I've thrice misspelled his name. It's Don Perata.
- Schwarzenegger may sign Nunez, Perata Protection Act (February primary)
- Don Peralta, Regency Outdoor in the news
- Fabian Nunez: corporate donations to a charity funneled to his events
- Hillary co-chair Fabian Nunez gets $2 million to keep him in office
- Vote No on Prop 93 (bogus term limits proposition would keep Fabian Nunez, Gil Cedillo in office)
