Do you feel pounded down by all the negative political ads by rich politicians and special interests? Then see this video about the solution: Prop. 89, the California Clean Money and Fair Elections Act.
 
Prop 89 is the antidote to negative ads paid for by rich special interests.  It limits what corporations can spend on initiatives. It limits the amount everybody can give to candidates.  And it provides

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.
