On August 27, the California Assembly passed SB 924. It directs the Secretary of State to place a referendum on the February 5, 2007 ballot, asking the voters if the United States should “achieve the immediate, complete, safe and orderly withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.” Because the Assembly version differs slightly from the version passed by the State Senate, the bill now returns to the State Senate. Then it goes to the Governor’s desk. The vote in the Assembly was 43-32.
