Endorsements

The Atlas PAC Endorsements Committee examines a candidate’s expressed and proven dedication to advancing a fiscally conservative, pro-business agenda – minimizing government regulation and taxation of individuals and businesses, eliminating inappropriate and wasteful government spending, and allowing the free market to reward initiative and entrepreneurship. Atlas PAC carefully selects the candidates it chooses to endorse and for many races does not issue an endorsement.

California Ballot Propostions & Initiatives

Proposition 19 No Position. Although we're all for individual liberty, this will just eventually become another revenue source for the government.
Propostion 20 YES. This would take redistricting Congressional districts out of the hands of the CA legislature into a more independent commission just like for state Assembly and Senate districts.
Proposition 21 NO. This is a straight up car tax increase of $18.
Proposition 22 YES
Proposition 23 YES. Would suspend AB 32 (the “global warming” emissions regulations bill) until state unemployment drops below 5.5% for a whole year.
Proposition 24 NO. Straight up tax hike on California businesses, preventing them from spreading out losses in multiple years and hiking their taxes on out-of-California activities.
Proposition 25 NO. Eliminates 2/3 vote requirement to pass a budget.
Proposition 26 YES. Creates 2/3 requirement to vote to increase any “fee.”
Proposition 27 NO. Eliminates the independent redistricting commission for the state legislature.
