Prop C passes in Los Angeles!

[Catch2.2]

So yesterday L.A. voted to see who the new Mayor would be. Along with that were a couple of measures dealing with medical marijuana dispensaries and Prop C which is essentailly a rejection of Citizens United. Now the passing of Prop C doesn't necessarily change the law or anything but sends a strong message where this city stands on corporate personhood. Watching the news last night, I did not see one news organization mention it. All they covered was the new mayor and marijuana. What a shocker that corporate media doesn't cover the people saying Enough to Corporate Personhood! Oh well, I'm just glad that it passed....overwhelmingly!

1. And it won with 76.6% of the vote!

I just heard about it this morning on the 9 am progressive radio chat show on AM 1150.

3. Ugh. I cannot listen to that station any more.

Did they ever get any good hosts? Seems like every time I tune in they're talking about something really stupid. Heard Mario Solis on there and I really hate listening to him. I stick to KPFK and podcasts now.

4. Yeah, that time slot sucks since they got rid of Thom Hartmann.

But Stephanie Miller is on from 6 to 9 am, which is what I had been listening to and I still had it on the station when the news came on about the LA election results.

8. But my God...

Who are these pathetic 23.4% who support CU?

[SunSeeker]

11. Republicans. nt

14. Oh yeah...

...That's right--Republicans.

15. LOL

2. Even the LA Weekly voter guide didn't mention it at all.

Hopefully this is a trend that sweeps the nation. Hell, if the anti-choicers can effectively end abortion with their city and state legislation then let's get the ball rolling on this!

9. Apparently, America must be protected...

From Liberal Truth.

Conservative/establishment lies are much safer.

5. K&R!

6. It passed by 76%, people are going to notice the media failure in reporting

People will know despite media complicity and the M$M has just further demonstrated its collusion. Hah!

[nikto]

10. But media complicity is so subtle...

You now, like getting hit in the head with a Louisville Slugger----That kind of subtle.

7. Congratulations! Let's hope this catches on. It seems this may be how we do it, city by city, county

by county and state by state until DC stands alone and must bow to the pressure and revoke Citizens United. It's too bad it has to be done this way.

12. Yes excellent Fuck business!
