Some progressive voters aren’t even planning on going to the polls, since they don’t think their vote will matter in California. We have to make them understand that their vote is vitally important to our children and the future of our state.Why is Prop. 30 falling in the polls? Obscenely wealthy, right-wing nuts are dumping boatloads of money into misleading ads and creating doubt in the minds of voters. All by himself, Charles Munger, Jr. — a trust-fund baby who inherited his riches — has spent $35 million on TV ads and mailers. The only way we can fight back is by reaching out to voters individually and making sure they understand what’s really going on.If you absolutely can’t volunteer in the next week, please share the California Progressive Voter Guide with your friends and family via email, Facebook, and Twitter.
