Why Vote? Your Legislators and Governor are Deciding...

Your Education…Decisions by our state legislators and the Governor determine how much money is available for CA’s community and state colleges and its UCs.  

Your Jobs…From Congress and the President to CA’s State Legislature and Governor…all of these Individuals hold the future of your jobs in their hands. They determine the policies that provide (or not) incentives to locate companies here instead of abroad (or elsewhere), pay employees a “living” minimum wage, require fairness in hiring practices, demand equal pay for equal work, insure workplace safety, and more.

Your Health Care…These same elected officials determine what (if any) health care will be available to you. Their decisions about Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance laws, medical malpractice laws, pharmaceutical laws, etc., determine the health care you receive. Today, more than one fifth of America’s citizens do not have health care insurance.

Your Laws…Not only do these elected officials make laws, they appoint judges whose decisions also become laws. Remember decisions like Brown v Board of Education and Roe v Wade – these were major decisions made by our Supreme Court – a court whose Justices were appointed by a President and confirmed by a Senate – all people elected by voters.

They are deciding:
Your Environment,
Your Public Transportation,
Your Social Security…YOUR FUTURE
