It's not often you find labor unions, anti-tax groups, consumer attorneys, the Democratic, Republican, Green, Peace and Freedom, Libertarian and American Independent parties all singing the same political tune on the campaign trail.
But that coalition of strange political bedfellows has been formed in opposition to Proposition 14, the "top-two primary" measure slated for the June ballot.
California School Employees Association President Allan Clark and Republican Party officials Keith Carlson and Jon Fleischman announced today the creation of two campaign accounts opened to raise money to oppose Prop 14.
Though they don't typically see eye-to-eye on issues, Clark, Carlson and Fleischman all believe the proposal for the general election to include only the top-two vote getters of a primary that includes candidates of all party affiliations would limit voter choice.
