More possible message/letter content:

California Republicans and George Turnboo are marching in lockstep with Donald Trump, trying to rig the next election and give him another blank check for two more years for his disastrous agenda. But they aren’t fooling anyone.

That’s why Californians are backing YES on Prop 50, the Election Rigging Response Act. Proposition 50:

• Levels the playing field: Makes sure next year’s mid-term elections are conducted on a level playing field without an unfair advantage for Republicans.
• Commits to fair redistricting: Reaffirms California’s commitment to independent redistricting and calls on all states to commit to fair and impartial maps.
• Gives voters the power: Puts the power in the hands of the People of California to approve emergency congressional district maps.
• Is fair and proportional: Prop 50 provides emergency maps only because Republicans moved forward with their power grab.
• Is temporary: These maps expire in 2030. The Election Rigging Response Act preserves California’s award-winning redistricting reforms and reaffirms the California Redistricting Commission’s authority to draw congressional districts after the next census.

This isn't politics as usual. It's an emergency for our democracy. Tell your EDC BOS representative to support Prop 50.
