California Taxpayers have for years had little or no voice during the lawmaking process in Sacramento. We are changing that.
Taxpayers for Improving Public Safety (TiPS), addresses public safety in the areas of crime & punishment, public health, and environment -- which altogether cover portions of public safety. TiPS is funded 100% by small monthly memberships. We are not a non-profit, and use the money to directly influence public policy. With your help, and as a united force, we will push elections in the direction of fiscal accountability and support for programs that are proven to be effective in reducing crime and thereby directly improving public safety. |

DONATE TODAY
TiPS filed a lawsuit in the Sacramento Superior Court to begin the process of obtaining an injunction against the enforcement of every provision of Proposition 9. This lawsuit is costly and we ask for your financial support to continue with the litigation. (Case No. 34-2008-00030789-CU-JR-GDS)
The suit argues that proposition 9 remains an unfunded mandate upon the state, and government agencies have chosen to impliment those provisions which can only further exacerbate California's budget crisis while worsening unconstitutional prison conditions.
To date we have raised less than 1/4 of the total amount required to continue with this suit, and just enough to get it written and filed. If we do not raise enough money to argue the suit, then the litigation may end abruptly.
Please do not delay, and make your generous donation today using either PayPal below or by mailing your check to TiPS, c/o Legal Fund, P.O. Box 255456, Sacramento, CA 95865. Remember to write Prop. 9 Legal Fund in the memo portion of your check.
