PROP 17: SUPPORT ALLOWS AUTO INSURANCE COMPANIES TO BASE THEIR PRICES IN PART ON A DRIVER'S HISTORY OF INSURANCE COVERAGE. INITIATIVE STATUTE. Allows for auto insurance companies to apply a “persistency discount,” for drivers who have consistently maintained auto insurance coverage, regardless of change in provider. ON NO the CRP RECOMMENDS WWW.STOPPROP14.COM PROP 14 Prop 14 claims it's an "open primary" when it's really a “CLOSED ELECTION” because it closes o your rights as a voter. It means: --Candidates will end up being hand-picked by insiders or committees--and you won't get a say in who your party's candidates will be. --In districts that are politically tilted heavily in favor of one party, the general election ballot will only have a Democrat vs. a Democrat, or a Republican vs. a Republican. --Only the best-funded candidates would make the top two, meaning no third party voices between June and November where voters are twice as likely to be engaged in the election cycle. --No write-in candidates would be allowed. THE CRP RECOMMENDS "NO ON 14!" www.stopprop14.com
