Friday, February 12, 2010 One year ago, Californians voted to fundamentally change the way electoral district boundaries are drawn in the state by transferring control over this activity from the Legislature to an independent commission made up of California voters. You can apply for a seat on the Citizens Redistricting Commission. If you think you might be interested in serving, or if you know anyone else who you think would be a good candidate, this is the time to throw your hat in the ring. The application process for the Commission is short: initial applications must be submitted by February 12, 2010. California Forward urges you to get involved in this once-in-a-decade opportunity to help map California’s political future. The State Auditor is looking for people who have common sense, a genuine interest in this work and in working with others toward a common goal, and the ability to commit some significant time to this effort for several months in 2011. This is a rare opportunity and very important work. We hope you will consider it. For more information on how to apply, and on the Citizens Redistricting Commission in general, go to www.WeDrawTheLines.ca.gov. Applications will be accepted online between December 15 and February 12, 2010. To learn about other California Forward issues, please visit www.caforward.org. To get involved or make a contribution to the 2010 reform efforts of our sister organization, the California Forward Action Fund, go to www.cafwd-action.org. |
