------------------------------------------------------------


Prop 14 is a myopic dissaster that will prevent all minor parties from
participating in the General Election.

At the March 2010 General Assembly, the Green Party easily reached consensus
on opposing Proposition 14. If adopted, all candidates for partisan office
would be required to run in a single, combined Primary Election rather than
each party having it’s own Primary. Voters may vote for any party’s candidate,
and only the two highest voted candidates would proceed to the General
Election. No longer would each party be represented in the General. In fact,
the two candidates in the General could be from the same party.

They'll be more info about organizing against Prop 14 coming out shortly.
