There
is a solution but it's up to you to Cooperate & Participate!
The Power of Numbers ACTING in unison is the only way to gain Reform of the California Criminal Justice System The UNION is a communication system that alerts you when, where, why and how to take action. You will learn to become an advocate for reform when you subscribe to the daily newsletter to learn the issues. We have fought for ten years to put an end the medical and dental neglect of prisoners, to stop abuse of mentally ill prisoners, and to reform the sentencing laws to end incarceration of nonviolent offenders and INJUSTICE from arrest through parole. We have also fought very hard against Prop 83 and hope to pull enough people together to do a referendum to reverse the law! You can help do that to protect yourself now and in the future. Begin Prevention, Schools not
Prisons, Free After School Activities for Youth, Rehab and Education for
Prisoners, healing of the mentally ill where possible and a common sense
approach to returning prisoners to their communities BETTER OFF instead
of much sicker than before they were incarcerated! Crime is caused most
often by poverty, lack of support of young people especially teen age unwed
mothers, and poor social conditions. It's time to Get Smart on Crime and
leave retribution techniques from the dark ages behind!
There are better solutions to crime than our current system utilizes that do not cost the taxpayers billions in lawsuit payouts Vote out bad laws and bad politicians Write letters to media and legislators Help bring LARGE crowds to key Senate hearings consisting of all human rights groups combined. The legislators cannot win for you unless you write, show up or send someone to these hearings. It is necessary for thousands of people to not only make the noise when issues are on the table for a decision, but to get out the vote! Without crowds where they are needed, there will be no reform. It's up to YOU to help in building a powerful U.N.I.O.N. that can create crowds in just a few hours. The prison guards union (CCPOA) number more than 50,000, who pay $48 per month in dues, hire 22 attorneys and staff offices with salaried activists statewide. We can do the same! Although it might require us finding 90,000 people at $15 per month, we, too, can become a powerful voting group if each person does a little. 6500 ACTIVE people can change any law when moving together. In Sacramento, only LARGE, WELL-FUNDED groups count!! It's up to each person whose family is devastated to build this voting group or suffer the consequences of no representation. About 3 million Californians have been devastated by injustice, and it is quite possible to find 6500 intelligent ones Initiative campaigns require l.2 million signatures. 6500 people willing to work to change laws can easily gather 200 signatures each! Other groups do it often! The oppression comes from organized voting groups who make money off the prison industry. By outnumbering these voting groups, we can end injustice. Each person must assume about 2 hours a week to respond to our calls to action. We must combine all humanitarians
into one voting group, whether the issue is sex offender laws, medical neglect, prison brutality, three strikes,
mandatory minimums, objection to the death penalty, legalizers, homeless
advocates, schools not prisons folks, and those who object to abuse of
foster children because one group alone is too small to generate the necessary
crowds to gain clout and recognition. The letters and demonstrations must
be continuous and LARGE. If not, we have no rights in Sacramento! The law
enforcement unions have bought off and elected almost all the politicians. Those who have
not organized a large group do not count with the legislators. This is
the way our system works, the largest group of VOTERS makes the rules
for everyone else and puts their own people into office. You can do this
simple organizing.
