SACRAMENTO — Today is the last day to register to vote in California.

The campaigns are hitting the streets to register and persuade voters.
California Teachers Association members were campaigning statewide Sunday in favor of two education initiatives. Proposition 55 would sustain funding for schools through an extension of the tax on people making over $250,000 a year.
Mike Patterson, a teacher at South Tahoe High School, says if Proposition 55 doesn’t pass, his district would lose 10 percent of their funding.
“Class sizes will go up, programs will go away — it’s not good for students,” said Patterson.
The CTA has flunked its duty to the people and students of CA. They have one overriding interest and that is to enrich themselves. One example is their total hatred of Charter Schools because their union can’t control and enrich themselves at the students expense.
