California Constitutional Convention Campaign to Begin - May 20

Movement Channels Frustration - Events To Be Held Across State

Group Requests Legislature Place Measures on Ballot
--(Business Wire)--
On May 20, 2009, in front of the state Capitol, the Bay Area Council and a
coalition of partners will launch a grassroots campaign at
www.RepairCalifornia.org to empower Californians to fix their broken government
with a Constitutional Convention. The group is channeling unprecedented
frustration and anger of citizens into a method nearly as old as democracy
itself to calmly and rationally fix system of government in California.

WHAT: Press Conference, 915 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, at the Traffic Circle in front of the Jesse Unruh State Office Building (in direct view of the state Capitol).

WHEN: Wednesday, May 20, 11:30 a.m.

WHY: At a press conference at the Capitol, the group will request that the legislature place two measures on the November 2010 ballot to create a voter-driven Constitutional Convention. If the legislature does not place the measures on the ballot, the group will use the initiative process to do so.

ENTRY: OPEN TO THE MEDIA with proper credentials (business card and photo I.D.)

INTERVIEWS: The speakers will hold media availabilities after their remarks. Jim Wunderman, President & CEO of the Bay Area Council, will also be available for interviews.
