After just two years on the job, a public school teacher in California can be granted “permanent employment” status that’s almost impossible to terminate even for significant misconduct. Does that make sense to you? We don’t think so, which is why we are pursuing reform of that statute. Another target this year is a practice that has CA passing up billions of federal dollars at the expense of state services and taxpayers. Both efforts will be wars with powerful special interests, as will be stopping tax increase and other bad bills.
Fighting such wars requires persistence and power. With 10 years under our belt and a growing presence in Sacramento, GFC is rightly viewed to be as persistent as any special interest. Our power comes from a network of >900 people from whom we bundle political contributions to 18 chapters that help liberate legislators from special interests. (Think of each chapter is an infantry unit as described here.) You may donate up to $8,100 per chapter per year. If you haven’t already donated this year, you may do so here.
PS: You may provide non-political support for our operating expenses here.
