> Today the California Supreme Court published a historic opinion, ruling that the California State Legislature may, in fact, place an advisory measure on the ballot.
> 
> In 2014, the Legislature had done exactly that - Proposition 49 - the Overturn Citizens United Act - which asked voters to weigh in on the infamous United States Supreme Court decision, "Citizens United". However, the Proposition was challenged as unconstitutional, and was stricken from the 2014 ballot, pending the court's decision. Californians, through the Legislature, have prevailed in this case.
> 
> We all know the devastating effect the Citizens United decision has had on our democracy, wherein corporations are equated with people and money is deemed as speech. Let's take the first step to quash the effects of that decision!
> 
> Secretary of State Alex Padilla is now considering whether to place Proposition 49 on the 2016 ballot. 
> 
> There is no time to lose!
