Protest Dick Cheney’s Corruption of Our Political Process

And Rally for CNA’s November, 2006 statewide ballot initiative for Clean Money Elections in California.

Monday, May 22
11:00 AM
Sacramento Hyatt, ­1209 L St.

Cheney will be in Sacramento raising money for Congressman John Doolittle­who is caught up in the “Jack Abramoff” scandal. Doolittle accepted skyboxes at sporting events from Abramoff, failed to report them, and did favors for Abramoff’s casino and other clients. Doolittle’s wife Julie receives a 15% commission on his fundraising, and Doolittle’s Congressional Chief of Staff Rich Robinson moonlights on his campaign. With Abramoff in custody, Cheney is now lending a hand to Doolittle, and helping his corporate friends buy a little more influence.

Could there be any better argument for the California Nurses Association’s upcoming Clean Money Elections initiative? Californians are tired of the corruption and the cash register politics. Clean Money Elections, also known as public financing of campaigns, allow candidates to run for office without taking huge donations from lobbyists and corporations­and without owing them favors.

Isn’t it time we cleaned up our political system?

Come join the nurses and tell Dick Cheney we’ve had enough!
