The Initiative Reform Task Force met during the Democratic Party's November E-Board meeting in Anaheim to propose changes in California's initiative process.
Chief among them is the immediate creation of a statewide "watch
network" to analyze proposed initiatives as soon as they appear--
BEFORE they are released for signatures.
Findings will then be published widely on the internet through both websites and e-mail networks. This requires no action by the legislature.
It requires grassroots activists to join together and become
researchers and bloggers who assemble and disseminate information about
the propositions that are about to enter the pipeline.
