The California Peace and Freedom Party has called on the California Federation of Teachers and the California AFL-CIO to withdraw support for the On Time Budget Act supported by CA Democratic chair John Burton and to support the California Democracy Act. The On Time Budget Act keeps in place the 2/3 requirement to raise taxes in California while the California Democracy Act initiative eliminates the 2/3 requirement in California to raise taxes and replaces it with 50% plus1.

The Peace And Freedom Party Supports California Democracy Act Not the "On Time Budget Act"

Resolution passed by the State Central Committee of the Peace and
Freedom Party, Sacramento, California, April 12, 2010

The Peace and Freedom Party does not support the "On Time
Budget Act" initiative which endorses the present 2/3
requirement for raising revenue. We call on the California
Federation of Teachers CFT and California AFL-CIO to
withdraw their sponsorship of that initiative and to, instead,
join us in supporting the California Democracy Act which is
being re- introduced. This initiative will eliminate the 2/3
requirement to raise revenue in the California Legislature.
