Gov. Gavin Newsom that Republican Indiana Governor and now Vice President-Elect Mike Pence \"advocated diverting taxpayer dollars to so-called conversion therapy.\" We based that ruling on a statement Pence made in 2000 on his congressional campaign \u003ca href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20010519165033fw_/http://cybertext.net/pence/issues.html\">website\u003c/a>, in which Pence says \"Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.\" Subsequently, our readers and other fact-checking websites examined the claim and made some points that led us to reconsider the fact check. Readers pointed out that Pence never explicitly advocated for conversion therapy in his statement and that he may have been pushing for safer sex practices. Pence’s words are open to other interpretations: Gay and lesbian leaders, for example, say his statement continues to give the impression that he supported the controversial practice of conversion therapy when his words are viewed in context with his long opposition to LGBT rights. Taking all of this into account, we are changing our rating to Half True and providing this new analysis.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>PolitiFact California’s practice is to consider new evidence and perspectives related to our fact checks, and to revise our ratings when warranted.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom joined in the chorus of attacks on Donald Trump’s choice for running mate during a speech at the Democratic National Convention in late July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, a prominent LGBT rights supporter, said Republican Indiana Gov. and now Vice-President Elect Mike Pence \"advocated for diverting taxpayer dollars to so-called conversion therapy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversion therapy is a controversial practice that seeks to change a person’s sexual orientation from gay to straight. It’s banned in five states including \u003ca href=\"http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article90844347.html\">California, Oregon, Illinois, Vermont and New Jersey\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Our research\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the claim in late July, Newsom’s campaign spokesman pointed to Pence’s own words. During his first successful run for Congress in 2000, Pence wrote on his \u003ca href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20010519165033fw_/http://cybertext.net/pence/issues.html\">campaign website\u003c/a>, under a section called Strengthening the American Family:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many, including Newsom and other LGBT advocates, have interpreted the last portion of Pence’s statement, about \"assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior,\" as evidence he supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement, however, does not explicitly mention conversion therapy. And Pence has said little, if anything, specific on the topic. We heard from a number of readers who said Pence’s words could be interpreted as supporting groups that aim to not necessarily change one’s sexual orientation, but instead as supporting groups that advocate for curbing sexual behaviors that lead to the spread of HIV/AIDS. Pence has, for example, advocated for abstinence as a way to prevent sexual diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Indeed, promoting safer sexual behaviour is a common intervention strategy in the fight against HIV/AIDS,\" reader Justin Goddard of Ontario, Canada, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other fact-checking websites, such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.snopes.com/mike-pence-supported-gay-conversion-therapy/\">Snopes.com\u003c/a>, have examined the claim Pence supported conversion therapy and concluded it’s not a settled case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBT rights advocates say given Pence’s extensive record of opposing gays and lesbians, his words are indeed confirmation that he supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is very specific language — some might call it a dog whistle — that has been used for decades to very thinly cloak deeply homophobic beliefs,\" Rea Carey, executive director of the National L.G.B.T.Q. Task Force \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/us/politics/mike-pence-and-conversion-therapy-a-history.html?_r=0\">told the New York Times\u003c/a> in late November. \"Particularly the phrase ‘seeking to change their sexual behavior,’ to me, is code for conversion therapy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s the most likely reading\" of Pence’s words, Rick Zbur, executive director of Equality California, an LGBT civil rights group, told PolitiFact California. \"We view this in the context of the whole record. … You can’t think of someone who is more hostile to LGBT people and people with AIDS than Mike Pence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on the 2000 website, Pence wrote: \"Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal legal status with heterosexual marriage.\" And \"Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexual’s [sic] as a 'discreet [sic] and insular minority' entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Statement mischaracterized?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email exchange with PolitiFact California in late July, Pence’s spokesman Marc Lotter did not directly answer whether Pence supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four months later, Lotter \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/us/politics/mike-pence-and-conversion-therapy-a-history.html?_r=0\">told the New York Times,\u003c/a> however, that it was \"patently false\" that Mr. Pence \"supported or advocated\" the practice of conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lotter added that Pence had been calling for federal funds to \"be directed to groups that promoted safe sexual practices\" during his 2000 congressional campaign, and he said it was a \"mischaracterization\" to interpret the statement as a reference to conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11034710\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11034710\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Newsom-800x558.jpg\" alt=\"Lt.

Gov. Gavin Newsom that Republican Indiana Governor and now Vice President-Elect Mike Pence \"advocated diverting taxpayer dollars to so-called conversion therapy.\" We based that ruling on a statement Pence made in 2000 on his congressional campaign \u003ca href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20010519165033fw_/http://cybertext.net/pence/issues.html\">website\u003c/a>, in which Pence says \"Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.\" Subsequently, our readers and other fact-checking websites examined the claim and made some points that led us to reconsider the fact check. Readers pointed out that Pence never explicitly advocated for conversion therapy in his statement and that he may have been pushing for safer sex practices. Pence’s words are open to other interpretations: Gay and lesbian leaders, for example, say his statement continues to give the impression that he supported the controversial practice of conversion therapy when his words are viewed in context with his long opposition to LGBT rights. Taking all of this into account, we are changing our rating to Half True and providing this new analysis.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>PolitiFact California’s practice is to consider new evidence and perspectives related to our fact checks, and to revise our ratings when warranted.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Lt.

It’s banned in five states including \u003ca href=\"http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article90844347.html\">California, Oregon, Illinois, Vermont and New Jersey\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Our research\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the claim in late July, Newsom’s campaign spokesman pointed to Pence’s own words. During his first successful run for Congress in 2000, Pence wrote on his \u003ca href=\"http://web.archive.org/web/20010519165033fw_/http://cybertext.net/pence/issues.html\">campaign website\u003c/a>, under a section called Strengthening the American Family:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Congress should support the reauthorization of the Ryan White Care Act only after completion of an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus. Resources should be directed toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many, including Newsom and other LGBT advocates, have interpreted the last portion of Pence’s statement, about \"assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior,\" as evidence he supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statement, however, does not explicitly mention conversion therapy. And Pence has said little, if anything, specific on the topic. We heard from a number of readers who said Pence’s words could be interpreted as supporting groups that aim to not necessarily change one’s sexual orientation, but instead as supporting groups that advocate for curbing sexual behaviors that lead to the spread of HIV/AIDS. Pence has, for example, advocated for abstinence as a way to prevent sexual diseases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Indeed, promoting safer sexual behaviour is a common intervention strategy in the fight against HIV/AIDS,\" reader Justin Goddard of Ontario, Canada, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other fact-checking websites, such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.snopes.com/mike-pence-supported-gay-conversion-therapy/\">Snopes.com\u003c/a>, have examined the claim Pence supported conversion therapy and concluded it’s not a settled case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBT rights advocates say given Pence’s extensive record of opposing gays and lesbians, his words are indeed confirmation that he supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is very specific language — some might call it a dog whistle — that has been used for decades to very thinly cloak deeply homophobic beliefs,\" Rea Carey, executive director of the National L.G.B.T.Q. Task Force \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/us/politics/mike-pence-and-conversion-therapy-a-history.html?_r=0\">told the New York Times\u003c/a> in late November. \"Particularly the phrase ‘seeking to change their sexual behavior,’ to me, is code for conversion therapy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s the most likely reading\" of Pence’s words, Rick Zbur, executive director of Equality California, an LGBT civil rights group, told PolitiFact California. \"We view this in the context of the whole record. … You can’t think of someone who is more hostile to LGBT people and people with AIDS than Mike Pence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also on the 2000 website, Pence wrote: \"Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal legal status with heterosexual marriage.\" And \"Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexual’s [sic] as a 'discreet [sic] and insular minority' entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Statement mischaracterized?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email exchange with PolitiFact California in late July, Pence’s spokesman Marc Lotter did not directly answer whether Pence supported conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four months later, Lotter \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/us/politics/mike-pence-and-conversion-therapy-a-history.html?_r=0\">told the New York Times,\u003c/a> however, that it was \"patently false\" that Mr. Pence \"supported or advocated\" the practice of conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lotter added that Pence had been calling for federal funds to \"be directed to groups that promoted safe sexual practices\" during his 2000 congressional campaign, and he said it was a \"mischaracterization\" to interpret the statement as a reference to conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11034710\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11034710\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Newsom-800x558.jpg\" alt=\"Lt.

Pence later backtracked, when state lawmakers changed the law to say that no discrimination would be allowed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Republican National Convention this summer, the McClatchy news service noted: \"Delegates voted to approve a \u003ca href=\"https://prod-static-ngop-pbl.s3.amazonaws.com/media/documents/DRAFT_12_FINAL%5b1%5d-ben_1468872234.pdf?mid=76323&rid=13489618\">platform\u003c/a> that backs the right of parents to determine the proper medical treatment and therapy for their minor children.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 4:15 p.m. Thursday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amid a growing national debate over gun control and gun rights, California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing a 2016 ballot initiative that would ask voters to strengthen the state's firearms laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's proposal comes just two weeks after \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/10/01/roseburg-oregon-mass-shooting\" target=\"_blank\">a gunman killed nine people\u003c/a> at a Roseburg, Oregon, community college, the latest in a long series of mass shootings that have prompted calls for action from President Obama and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is about taking responsibility,\" Newsom said in an interview after a Financial District press conference to announce his initiative. \"... All of this has happened on our watch -- 150 school shootings since [the 2012 Newtown school massacre]. More preschoolers that have been shot -- literally preschoolers -- than police officers in the line of duty. I mean, it's just an abomination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's proposal calls for background checks on all ammunition purchases, certification of all ammunition sellers, the surrender of large-capacity assault-style magazines and new requirements for reporting lost or stolen guns. The proposal also calls for state officials to set up a clear process to make felons who are not allowed to have guns turn in their weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/228598765\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Remarkably, there's no prohibition on who can sell ammunition,\" Newsom said. \"Literally, if a fast-food chain decided to go into the ammunition business, there's no law on the books prohibiting them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new measure would limit ammunition sales to licensed dealers and, in the first provision of its kind in the United States, subject ammunition buyers to the same background checks to which California gun purchasers are subject.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it's good enough for guns, it's good enough for ammunition,\" Newsom said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom, a Democratic former mayor of San Francisco now running for governor, announced his initiative campaign near the site of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/10-YEARS-AFTER-101-California-massacre-victims-2567142.php\" target=\"_blank\">the 101 California massacre\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That mass shooting on July 1, 1993, was the bloodiest in San Francisco history: a gunman carrying two semi-automatic assault weapons killed eight people and wounded six. The killings led to a wave of state and federal legislation to limit the availability of automatic and semi-automatic firearms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polls have long shown that Californians believe it's more important to toughen controls on gun ownership than to safeguard the right to own a gun. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2441.pdf\">February 2013 Field Poll\u003c/a> -- conducted just two months after a gunman killed 20 first-graders in a Connecticut school massacre -- suggested that support for gun control in the state was growing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That survey found 61 percent thought stronger gun control was more important than gun rights; 34 percent said gun rights were more important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from The Associated Press. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing a 2016 ballot initiative that would ask voters to strengthen the state's firearms laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's proposal comes just two weeks after \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/10/01/roseburg-oregon-mass-shooting\" target=\"_blank\">a gunman killed nine people\u003c/a> at a Roseburg, Oregon, community college, the latest in a long series of mass shootings that have prompted calls for action from President Obama and others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is about taking responsibility,\" Newsom said in an interview after a Financial District press conference to announce his initiative. \"... All of this has happened on our watch -- 150 school shootings since [the 2012 Newtown school massacre]. More preschoolers that have been shot -- literally preschoolers -- than police officers in the line of duty. I mean, it's just an abomination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's proposal calls for background checks on all ammunition purchases, certification of all ammunition sellers, the surrender of large-capacity assault-style magazines and new requirements for reporting lost or stolen guns. The proposal also calls for state officials to set up a clear process to make felons who are not allowed to have guns turn in their weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The killings led to a wave of state and federal legislation to limit the availability of automatic and semi-automatic firearms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polls have long shown that Californians believe it's more important to toughen controls on gun ownership than to safeguard the right to own a gun. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2441.pdf\">February 2013 Field Poll\u003c/a> -- conducted just two months after a gunman killed 20 first-graders in a Connecticut school massacre -- suggested that support for gun control in the state was growing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That survey found 61 percent thought stronger gun control was more important than gun rights; 34 percent said gun rights were more important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from The Associated Press. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And there are many opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott Chipman is the Southern California chair of \u003ca href=\"http://www.calmca.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana\u003c/a>. He said the report is \"deceptive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gavin Newsom has been a supporter of legalization in the past,\" Chipman said. \"He wants to say this is just to try to protect us?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10611704\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 348px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/RS5309_001.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10611704\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/RS5309_001.jpg\" alt=\"Gavin Newsom in 2013.\" width=\"348\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/RS5309_001.jpg 1333w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/RS5309_001-400x600.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/RS5309_001-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/RS5309_001-1180x1770.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/07/RS5309_001-960x1440.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 348px) 100vw, 348px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gavin Newsom in 2013. \u003ccite>(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Opponents and supporters of recreational marijuana legalization -- and the Blue Ribbon Commission report -- point to the same source for their arguments and analysis -- other states that have paved the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Marijuana should not be legalized, and the best argument against legalization is what's happening in Colorado,\" Chipman said. \"The black market in Colorado has not been reduced one iota.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones rejected the statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's tiptoe back into reality real quick,\" she said. \"I think that there's every indication actually that the black market goes away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said Colorado's legalization has improved public safety and public health by generating money for enforcement and allowing closet smokers to report health concerns to doctors without fear of arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Denver Post has reported extensively on Colorado's legalization.

In that sense, the weekend offered a preview of what a post-Brown gubernatorial primary might look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The convention was highlighted by passionate speeches from two Democrats with clear ambition for higher office: Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Kamala Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom began his speech by joking about the six-day old “Newsom Administration” (he’s serving as acting governor with Brown abroad). Then he launched into a call for issues like the legalization of marijuana and repeal of the death penalty. “It’s not a deterrent. It’s not fool-proof. It is racially biased,” he said of capital punishment. “It costs more. And there’s no way to reverse a mistake when you put a wrongly accused person to death.” \u003c!--more-->Newsom has clashed publicly with Brown, and at times he sounded more like an opposition candidate than a member of a governing administration. He burst the Democrats’ feel-good bubble by calling for action to address the state’s economic problems. “We not only have the highest homeless rate in America, but the highest poverty rate. Think about this: California has three of the top five impoverished metro areas in the entire nation: Fresno, Modesto and Bakersfield. … 1.8 million Californians actively seeking employment that cannot find work. Statewide unemployment rate of 9.6 percent. The nation’s highest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How to Use a Supermajority\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom wasn’t the only speaker calling for Democrats to use their majority to push for legislation on big, liberal issues. Billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer, who bankrolled last year’s successful \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/politics/election2012/statepropositions-guide.jsp#10\">Proposition 39 \u003c/a>campaign, wants Democrats to use their two-thirds majority to pass an oil-severance tax. The issue is timely, he said, because of an anticipated rush to exploit Central California’s Monterey shale formation. “There has been a shale oil find in the state of California that is the biggest in the United States. It’s 15 billion barrels. Now, I have no idea if that can be safely or profitably extracted. But I do know we better put in the tax before we find out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I feel like if we kind of go crazy and get all kinds of liberal policies going, then we’ll absolutely lose the majority.\n\u003cp>–Candy Easter, Kern County Democrat\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But for all the bold initiatives that the party’s stars called for from the stage, many delegates seemed to agree with Gov. Brown’s advice to use caution in using the power of the supermajority, saying they want to let the economy continue to improve, and avoid pushing too many big, expensive ideas at once. “I feel like if we kind of go crazy and get all kinds of liberal policies going, then we’ll absolutely lose the majority,” said Candy Easter of Kern County. Bryan Ladlow with the Napa County Young Democrats said he felt the same way. “Of course progressive issues are important,” he said. “But I want to make sure we don’t go too far to the left and alienate the people in the middle who helped us get where we are right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone wants Democrats to keep the brakes on, of course. Barbara Wilson of Los Angeles County urged legislators to hike corporate and drilling taxes and to fund social programs. “Now that we have a two-thirds majority let’s get it done,” she said. “Let’s get that money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“The Waiting Is Over”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom focused on state issues during his speech, Attorney General Kamala Harris talked about national topics. Addressing \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/26/audio-transcript-of-supreme-court-proposition-8-oral-arguments/\">the United States Supreme Court’s impending decision on same-sex marriage\u003c/a>, Harris said Proposition 8 supporters “want to tell the 50,000 California children of loving same-sex couples that their families don’t count as real families. The message to these families … if they want their fundamental rights, they’re going to have to wait.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But we know justice cannot be served cold,” Harris continued. “We know each day is not equal. Dr. King said it best: the word ‘wait’ rings with a piercing familiarity for those who have long been denied their fundamental rights. We know ‘wait’ is just a substitute for ‘never.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sticking with a theme that “the waiting is over,” Harris made her way through a list of high-profile national issues. “We need to tell Congress this year—this month—it’s time. It’s time for comprehensive immigration reform. It’s time to stand with the people of Newtown for common-sense gun laws. Democrats, it’s time to stand up for workers and collective-bargaining rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94175\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/15/california-democrats-flex-muscles-and-talk-about-how-to-use-them/pelosi1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-94175\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-94175\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/04/pelosi1-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi speaks to reporters in Sacramento\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi speaks to reporters in Sacramento\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But while California Democrats are in a commanding position in Sacramento, it’s a different story in Washington. No one knows that better than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She fielded questions about immigration and gun legislation during the Sacramento convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi told reporters she’s hoping lawmakers can pass an immigration law by the time Congress adjourns for August recess. She hedged on the chances for strong gun control measures like a ban on assault weapons sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Can we ban it?

But I do know we better put in the tax before we find out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I feel like if we kind of go crazy and get all kinds of liberal policies going, then we’ll absolutely lose the majority.\n\u003cp>–Candy Easter, Kern County Democrat\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But for all the bold initiatives that the party’s stars called for from the stage, many delegates seemed to agree with Gov. Brown’s advice to use caution in using the power of the supermajority, saying they want to let the economy continue to improve, and avoid pushing too many big, expensive ideas at once. “I feel like if we kind of go crazy and get all kinds of liberal policies going, then we’ll absolutely lose the majority,” said Candy Easter of Kern County. Bryan Ladlow with the Napa County Young Democrats said he felt the same way. “Of course progressive issues are important,” he said. “But I want to make sure we don’t go too far to the left and alienate the people in the middle who helped us get where we are right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone wants Democrats to keep the brakes on, of course. Barbara Wilson of Los Angeles County urged legislators to hike corporate and drilling taxes and to fund social programs. “Now that we have a two-thirds majority let’s get it done,” she said. “Let’s get that money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“The Waiting Is Over”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Newsom focused on state issues during his speech, Attorney General Kamala Harris talked about national topics. Addressing \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/03/26/audio-transcript-of-supreme-court-proposition-8-oral-arguments/\">the United States Supreme Court’s impending decision on same-sex marriage\u003c/a>, Harris said Proposition 8 supporters “want to tell the 50,000 California children of loving same-sex couples that their families don’t count as real families. The message to these families … if they want their fundamental rights, they’re going to have to wait.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But we know justice cannot be served cold,” Harris continued. “We know each day is not equal. Dr. King said it best: the word ‘wait’ rings with a piercing familiarity for those who have long been denied their fundamental rights. We know ‘wait’ is just a substitute for ‘never.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sticking with a theme that “the waiting is over,” Harris made her way through a list of high-profile national issues. “We need to tell Congress this year—this month—it’s time. It’s time for comprehensive immigration reform. It’s time to stand with the people of Newtown for common-sense gun laws. Democrats, it’s time to stand up for workers and collective-bargaining rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94175\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/15/california-democrats-flex-muscles-and-talk-about-how-to-use-them/pelosi1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-94175\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-94175\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/04/pelosi1-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi speaks to reporters in Sacramento\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi speaks to reporters in Sacramento\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But while California Democrats are in a commanding position in Sacramento, it’s a different story in Washington.
