Get the FactsPresident Ronald Reagan, September 22, 1981: "I can't help but wonder if the time hasn't come to take reapportionment out of politics and have it done by a blue ribbon citizen committee on the basis of what is good for the people, not just the party that happens to be in power.
And with that said, I will sign these petitions and, in doing so, I ask all fair-minded citizens, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents in California, to join with me."1
In 2008, Californians voted resoundingly to set up an independent commission.
