I am asking all California voters to oppose California Propositions 94 through 97 because this legislation will not offer any long term social solutions for California Indians.
We must focus on broad base solutions that will create meaningful jobs for all working people, equal pay for equal work, affordable housing for all, free public education, free health care, a guaranteed basic income for all, and taxing the income of the rich.
Socialists do not support segregating groups in a society, helping one group above another. We believe it is important that all human needs are met in society.
We must NOT support legislation that will only advance the corruption of politicians who do not serve the best interest of working people.
