George Lakoff Lecture at University of California San Diego

Time: March 5, 2010 from 6pm to 8pm
Location: UCSD Center Hall 105
sponsored by Saving UCSD. Click here for the website.

Description of event: California’s budget crisis – and so many of our state’s systemic problems – are the result of the absurd two-thirds requirement that allows a small minority, now just 37%, to block sensible economic legislation.

California is the only state in America where one-third plus one, only 34%, runs the legislature by blocking the sensible, responsible majority at every turn.

UC Berkeley Prof. Lakoff will speak about how to pass the California Democracy Act! after which only a majority would be needed.
