Gavin Newsom: Prop 50 Is Not About Drawing Lines on a Map, ‘It Is About Holding the Line to What Makes Us Who We Are’

EXCERPT:

NEWSOM: “249 years. The best of Roman Republic, Greek democracy, separation of the branches of government, co-equal branches of government, checks and balances, popular sovereignty, the rule of law. Those enduring principles that our Founding Fathers lived and died for, all of them on the line today. And so, I want to thank you. This is a long-winded way of wrapping up. I want to thank you for standing on this line, at this moment. Prop 50 is not about drawing lines on a map. It is about holding the line to what makes us who we are.”
