Props. 30 And 32 Ask Occasional Voters To Vote
Jean Haynes, a care worker who volunteered to knock on voters' doors, said she is doing her part to speak on behalf of other care workers and their patients who will all be affected by the two propositions.
"We're not like people who have a whole lot of money. One person might be able to give $1 million but with 30 of us, we might just be giving a total of $300," Haynes said.
Prop. 30, a sales and income tax increase initiative, would raise the personal income tax rate on individuals making more than $250,000 per year for the next seven years.
Prop. 32, also known as the "Paycheck Protection" Initiative, would limit corporations and unions ability to give money to campaigns.
Dana Holm, deputy director at Good Jobs L.A. in Gardena, said he expected a total of 150 union workers, canvassers and care workers Monday to ring doorbells, reminding voters to place their ballots.
"A lot of times people forget or get too busy," said Dana Holm, deputy director at Good Jobs L.A. "The reality is that all across the ticket, this is a very close election this season from top to bottom. We've got Obama and Romney pulling neck and neck as well as these two initiatives, so this could come down to a couple of votes."
