Our Government has failed us. This was the headline of the August 2008 opinion editorial, authored by Jim Wunderman, President & CEO of the Bay Area Council, which ignited the movement to Repair California through a limited Constitutional Convention.

California, was once was the envy of the nation with the country’s best schools, infrastructure system and a thriving economy. Today our schools are the worst in nation, our state has the two most congested regions in the country, our unemployment rate is higher than the national average and California is consistently ranked the worst state to do business. Our legislature has failed to pass a budget on time 22 times in the past 30 years, each day of the delays costing the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. Special interests have hijacked the initiative system, passing misleading initiatives through expensive campaigns.

We believe that our state will continue to careen from one crisis to the next until we fix the system. 

The only way to achieve this - the only way to make sweeping, holistic changes to our state government and get our state back on track - is through a limited constitutional convention.

While some may be fearful of Californians fixing our state through a Convention, we believe that there is nothing more scary than the status quo.
