No big surprise here except Tom Campbell probably won’t support it (or I will be surprsied that he will) and Chuck DeVore will claim he was the first and only true blue supporter of neutering public employee unions in California.

From the press release:

During a speech at the Fairbanks Republican Women Federated meeting, U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina will  announce her position on the Citizen Power Initiative. She will also discuss her background, her candidacy for U.S. Senate and her commitment to job creation, economic recovery and controlling government spending.

WHO:        U.S. Senate Candidate Carly Fiorina

WHAT:       Speech About Citizen Power Initiative And Priorities For California

WHEN:      Tuesday, February 9, 2010
                  12:00 p.m.

WHERE:    Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines
                  10950 North Torrey Pines Road
                  La Jolla, CA 92037

 

At the event, Carly will deliver remarks and then take questions from the attendees. Following the meeting, Carly will hold a brief media availability with press in attendance.

The website for the initiative is here.

I’ll be voting for the measure but look for the public employee unions to spend millions to defeat it. What will be their issue? Taking away the little guys right to fight “the man” by organizing and pooling their union dues as political contributions.

Update:

Guess I am surprised because I was informed that Tom Campbell endorsed this initiative when he was running for California Governor last December.

So, it looks like all three GOP Senate candidates will now endorse the initiative. Wonder if they will donate any money to the campaign?
