We, the People

This representative assembly should be in miniature an exact portrait of the people at large. It should think, feel, reason, and act like them. ~ John Adams

If the governing structure of California is to be remade, there is only one group of people qualified to handle such a daunting, complex and weighty task-the People of California. Hot off the presses comes a groundbreaking report by the Political Reform Program’s Director, Steven Hill, which recommends that the much-ballyhooed Constitutional Convention be comprised of Citizen Delegates; ordinary folks who will determine how to govern themselves, much as the Founders did a couple of hundred years ago. This time around, however, all the People are welcome to sit at the table.

Check out Hill’s report, “A Citizens Constitutional Convention for California: How to Avoid Partisanship and Special Interests,” to see how citizens from New York to New Orleans are taking control of their future, and how it can be done in California.
