Voters Not Politicians recently launched a new ad for their proposed ballot measure (Proposition 2) to institute a nonpartisan redistricting commission in Michigan. The measure is currently before the state Supreme Court where mostly Republican-backed groups and the state's attorney general are trying to remove it from the ballot.

San Diego, CA. - As is customary, the San Diego City Council ok'd initiatives and ballot language that will appear on the November ballot.

The ballot question language is considered an important piece as voters, who may not be aware of what a particular initiative proposes to do, rely on the language to help guide their vote.

The proposed Aquatic Safety and Junior Lifeguard Facility is a beautiful design for a praiseworthy organization that we all can support in concept.

The Junior Lifeguard program provides an invaluable service working for safeguarding the aquatic safety of young people.

Another common core complaint? Nope. Failing at our standardized testing? Not even close.

America's worst math problem right now is in how we talk about numbers in our daily lives, especially in political conversations.

It's easy to talk about billions and trillions in political discussions. It's like moving around little counting chips, each one with a trillion dollars stamped on it. All you have to do is be able to count to 100.

But therein lies the problem.

Universal health care — or single-payer health care, or medicare for all, or socialized medicine — has come of age as a mainstream political issue in the United States. There is now an "official" Medicare for All Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives that launched with 66 members.

Top Senate Republicans have finally had enough of the Trump Administration's economic interventionism in the form of tariffs that effectively raise the price of imported goods for the American consumers and businesses that buy them.
