YES
Prop 59

Symbolic advisory measure to overturn Citizens United

Very reluctant yes; ballots should not be cluttered with measures that have no impact.

A very reluctant yes. Ballots shouldn’t be cluttered with measures that have no impact. If the US Congress wants to know what Californians think about Citizens United, they can look at the polls. But, if I have to give my opinion, I don’t want to say I approve of the decision. While my personal thoughts on campaign finance have changed recently due to Trump’s rise on the back of “organic” media instead of advertising, I still believe it to be a problem worth addressing.
