A Resolution in Support of Assembly Member Yamada
WHEREAS on the nineteenth of February, 2009, the California State Legislature approved State Senate Constitutional Amendment Four calling for adoption of a Louisiana-style "free-for-all primary", which was coerced from the legislature under pressure to pass the State budget, and
WHEREAS State Senate Constitutional Amendment Four is another ill-conceived ballot measure that will permit manipulative and deceitful practices such as concealing party affiliation, the running of stalking horse candidates, and the gaming of results through organized crossover voting, thereby depriving voters of their true preferences, and
WHEREAS Assembly Member Yamada, by standing with only three other Democrats to vote against State Senate Constitutional Amendment Four, stood up for cleaner, more honest elections,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Northern Solano Democratic Club applauds the courageous action of Assembly Member Yamada in her opposition to State Senate Constitutional Amendment Four,
and
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Northern Solano Democratic Club exhorts all Californians, especially all elected officials, to follow her example and defeat the measure at the polls
