Political Reform Blog

Blog Post
Feb. 19, 2009

Welcome to the Political Reform blog of the New America Foundation. On this blog we hope to foster substantive discussion of political reform in California and nationwide. In California, this is a particularly good time for such discussion since the Bay Area Council, a group of forward-looking business people in the Bay area, have proposed a Constitutional Convention in California. They, along with the New America Foundation, League of Women Voters, Common Cause, Willie C. Velasquez Institute and others have cosponsored a summit on February 24 in Sacramento to discuss the possibility of a constitutional convention for California. Find out more about that summit here.

Please feel free to voice your opinions and heartfelt wishes about political reform, constitutional convention and other issues on this blog (and do it respectfully, of course).

Thanks, and welcome aboard the Political Reform Train!
