The San Jose Mercury News has published at least three positive responses to Assemblyman Tom Ammiano's call for the California Fair Elections Act and the congressional Fair Elections Now Act.

A reporter for the Ventura County Star believes that public financing may be the answer to California's budget problems.

In an op-ed this weekend, California State Rep. Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) writes that the Fair Elections Now Act would take the influence of money out of politics.

The director of Democracy Matters at UCLA has an Op-Ed in The Daily Bruin discussing the need for Fair Elections.

A major media outlet in California praises the state's Clean Elections referendum, along with the legislator and activists that worked to pass the measure.

Well, this is quite a surprise.  California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has signed a bill authorizing a pilot Clean Elections program for candidates for Secretary of State.  Following passage in the state legislature the bill had been sitting on his desk for quite a while. Activists around the state flooded the Governor's office with calls in support of the legislation.
