A press conference uniting leaders and voters across the political spectrum will be held in Los Angeles. Speakers will discuss their opposition to Proposition 14, the Top Two Primaries Act.

Gov. Schwarzenegger and Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado are marketing Proposition 14, the Top Two Primaries Act, as a win for democracy. Proposition 14 would end democracy in California. Prop 14 is a scheme, largely funded by insurance companies and other big businesses who are generally not friends of consumers: http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1322507&session=2009&view=late1.

Following the press conference, a protest will be held outside Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s $50,000 per ticket, Proposition 14 fundraiser at his home: http://californiascapitol.com/blog/?p=2647.

A second protest will be held on Monday, May 24 in Sacramento at MIX Downtown, the location of another Gov. Schwarzenegger-sponsored Proposition 14 fundraiser.
