"Are you ready to put on your white wigs?" That question increasingly is being posed to many everyday Californians, as the Golden State considers if a constitutional convention composed of regular folks might hold the solution to Californias ongoing political and budgetary woes. With state government in Sacramento seemingly frozen in place, a group of California leaders formed RepairCalifornia.org and have filed a voter initiative to create a constitutional convention to address the state's deeply entrenched structural problems. But this would be no ordinary convention. Just over half of the 460 or so participants would be "citizen delegates," regular people who have been selected to convene a broad cross-section of California.
