Ballot Access News: Another California Bill for Mandatory Badges for Petitioners

"In the last session of the California legislature, a bill was introduced to force petition circulators to wear badges, saying where they are registered to vote. That bill did not pass. Now Assemblymember Ben Hueso (D-Chula Vista) has introduced AB 651. It requires circulators to wear badges in at least 30-point type identifying who hired the circulator to collect signatures, if the circulator is indeed being paid. The bill only applies to initiative, referendum, and recall petitions, but not to petitions to place a candidate or a party on the ballot."

Comments from readers of the above referenced article turn the table, and ask of their own legislators to wear badges notifying their constituents who their major donors are!
