In 1988, California banned public financing of elections — one of the best methods to counter the power of Big Money. Voters can restore it this November by voting YES on Prop 4. Watch.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
