Restricting worker freedom. Trapping kids in poor performing public schools. Increasing energy costs through so-called “green” mandates. Throwing more money at ineffective government anti-homeless programs.
If these proposals that are being pushed in Washington today sound familiar, that’s because they are.
Californians have been there, done that.
The Los Angeles Times recently wrote that California is serving as a “de facto think tank” for the Biden Administration.
For years, PRI has been sounding the alarm about how the Sacramento “progressive agenda” impacts hard-working Californians.
Now, we have a warning to Congress and state capitals nationwide – don’t do what we’re doing!
That’s why PRI today is launching a new campaign - “Been There, Done That”.
Watch the video above for a preview of what we have in store with PRI's "Been There, Done That" campaign . . .
As Sacramento is inspiring a reckless agenda in Washington, DC and other states, the real-life experiences of Californians who have been hurt by the progressive agenda has been missing from the conversation.
PRI’s “Been There, Done That” campaign aims to change this by using our research and analysis to shine a spotlight on the negative, real world consequences of the California agenda, and inspire millions of Americans to make their voices heard.
Click here to read our first “Been There, Done That” update, showing how California’s renewable energy mandates – which the Biden administration wants to emulate – have raised energy costs, aren’t as effective in lowering emissions, and threaten power blackouts for the second year in a row.
For years, PRI’s scholars have written about how these misguided policies have led to more government control of our lives, higher taxes, fewer choices, and less prosperity.
We’ve also shown how free-market alternatives would increase affordability in the Golden State, expand opportunity for all, expand freedom, and provide better lives for all Californians.
By visiting PRI’s new “Been There, Done That” website, you’ll learn how the California progressive agenda has hurt the hard-working people of our state – and would hurt millions if enacted in Congress or other states and the reforms we can make to turn California around.
We hope you’ll bookmark our new “Been There, Done That” website and encourage your family and friends in other states to regularly visit www.pacificresearch.org/BeenThereDoneThat
