Florida in 2000. Ohio in 2004. California in 2008?

The Courage Campaign has launched a petition drive against the Republican power grab otherwise known as the "Presidential Election Reform Act." Click here to fight back against this transparent attempt to steal electoral votes in a move more brazen than anything Katherine Harris even dreamed of back in 2000.
As you may already have heard, a team of GOP lawyers have filed an initiative with the state attorney general for the June 2008 ballot that would reduce California's voice in electing the president of the United States by moving California from a winner take all electoral system to one that allots electoral votes proportionally by congressional district.

They call it The Presidential Election Reform Act. We call it a rightwing power grab because the net result would be that the Republican candidate could win as many as 20 of California's 55 electoral votes or the equivalent of Ohio.
Help stop this right wing power grab by signing this pledge to oppose it today.

It would take a bit of sophistry for a Republican court to rule that the legislature had waived their rights here, and directed the initiative process to choose state electors.
