There are solutions! For great schools, health, environment, jobs, and justice. We can stop coddling mega-corporations and billionaires. They've gotten filthy rich, and left California flat broke and unemployment sky high. We can create a State Bank and invest in California not Wall Street. Let's expand the good parts of old Prop 13 to keep people in their homes, and fix rotten parts like the 1/3 minority that has veto power over taxing the rich. Let's implement fair taxes, and give ourselves and our kids a chance. See LauraWells.org.

Money for jobs, education, healthcare—not war and corporations!

As Governor, I will restore fiscal responsibility and financial solvency to California using every tool at my disposal, such as the line-item veto and ballot initiatives. We need to rollback spending, lower taxes significantly (especially income taxes); abolish harmful, useless, and overlapping regulatory agencies; reduce the number of employees at most state agencies; and permanently limit future spending. A business-friendly, low tax environment will attract thousands of businesses and millions of jobs to California. Additional tax revenue from economic growth should be used only to retire debt, improve infrastructure, and lower taxes further. We need to slash excessive salaries and bloated pensions for state employees; increase retirement age for current and future state employees to 65 from the current 55 (or 50). We need to end collusion between politicians, bureaucrats, and government employee unions. A volunteer Commission will help me pardon those convicted of victimless crimes, such as marijuana possession. I support Proposition 19 to legalize marijuana; adults should be able to decide what substances they consume. We need to reduce welfare benefits so there is an incentive to work and be productive; 35% of the nation's welfare cases are in California (but only 12% of the population). We need to give parents a choice in their children's education. People should be able to live their lives as they choose (get government out of marriage) and keep the government out of our personal and economic lives. Help make California the great state it once was. Vote Libertarian.

As a homeschooling mother, concerned citizen, and independent businesswoman, I believe it's time to save our state! "We the People" are the solution to restore our Golden State and I'm honored to help represent us live our dreams. My promise is to govern with you in order to help lead us back to a constitutionally sound California! The solution to our economic crisis is our own creativity, thus I will enact the "We the People" contract. We will unite the brightest and best to work together as our Founding Fathers intended. We will secure our borders, support the free market system, bring back jobs, protect individual rights, and improve our education to pave a better future for our children. I ask for your vote so that together we can enjoy freedom in California.
