California Paycheck Protection Act

Signature collection for a 2010 ballot measure that would make it illegal for public employee unions to automatically deduct money from members’ paychecks and use that money for political campaigns has begun.

The initiative would prevent public employee unions from using union dues for political purposes without members’ consent. Unions would have to collect voluntary political contributions instead of involuntary, automatic deductions. To qualify for the ballot, the coalition will need to collect 694,354 valid voters’ signatures. You can download the petition here and help collect signatures.

The initiative is being called the “Citizen Power Initiative.” More information and petitions are available at www.unplugthepoliticalmachine.org
