CALL TO ACTION!
Regrettably, SB 1265 has passed off the Assembly floor on 8-28 and the Senate on 8-29. Please encourage Governor Jerry Brown to veto this terrible bill. The fastest way to accomplish this is to click here to use the ResistBot software, which allows people in the United States to send letters to Congress in under two minutes! It provides information that identifies a user's congressional representative in response to the user's texted request for the information. It then provides a platform to deliver messages and letters to representatives and local newspapers via Telegram, Facebook, and SMS. You can also send a letter by clicking here, or call Gov. Brown directly at the contact information here. For details of CLAC's analysis of why the bill is bad for homeowners, click here. Don't delay; time is of the essence!
