Once again, a California state bill restricting citizens' petitioning is being legislated

From a Citizens in Charge article, which offers reader commenting and an action alert against the bill:
"An identical bill was vetoed in 2006 and 2009 but that won’t stop state [California State] Senator Corbitt from attacking California petition proponents. The California Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee will hold a hearing Tuesday, March 15, on SB 168, an attempt to ban paying petition circulators by the signature. Such bans have been found unconstitutional in several states, and most recently a federal judge in Colorado found that state’s ban likely to be struck down."
California: You can contact your State Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee on bill SB 168.
