We strongly urge this Council to join hands with OCEA's 18,000 members <br /> and adopt the resolution before you in support of Proposition 50. <br /> Proposition 50 is a simple and common-sense response to the efforts of President Trump and his <br /> misguided supporters to rig Congressional elections.They want to steal and seal the outcome of 2026 <br /> elections so they can continue to impose anti-worker, anti-immigrant, anti-middle class values on the <br /> rest of us without the inconvenience of holding free and fair elections.Those efforts seek to undermine <br /> our democracy and they must be stopped. <br /> That's what Proposition 50 helps accomplish. Proposition 50 temporarily rebalances electoral scales <br /> over the next few elections. It accomplishes that simple objective and then expires. <br /> That makes support of Proposition 50 a no-brainer. Please join OCEA and organized labor across the <br /> entire state and adopt a resolution in support of Proposition 50. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ORANGE COUNTY EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION <br /> Charles G.
