June 17, 2010

The Sacramento Bee picked up one part of our release about the propositions in the June 8 primary, and placed it with a photo on page 3, "Capitol and California." Read the article and our release, and see the link.

Photo caption, "Laura Wells, the Green Party's candidate for governor, said Democrat Jerry Brown helped Proposition 14 pass by rigging the ballot language." 

Campaign Watch
Green Party gubernatorial candidate Laura Wells has her campaign issue against Democrat Jerry Brown – Proposition 14. She says that Brown, who came out in favor of the open primary measure Tuesday – a week after voters approved it – aided the measure's victory by rigging the ballot language. "It's not the voters' fault, but the fault of Brown and the corporations who fully intend to manipulate the rest of us for their financial gain," Wells said in a statement.

OUR NEWS ADVISORY:  ONE WEEK LATER: Independent Green Party gubernatorial candidate expresses hope after state Primary, hits Jerry Brown for role in Prop. 14 passage

OAKLAND – One week after Laura Wells won her contested race to become the independent candidate for governor on the Green Party ticket, she sees some signs of hope – and a little despair – in primary election results. And she suggests Jerry Brown played a part in the “despair” category.

“It is hopeful,” said Wells, "that voters saw through the attempt by corporations to take over our government,” referring to two of the four contested propositions that deluged California voters with misleading ads, and were rejected by voters at the ballot box.
