Something Springfield should consider

via Publius Pundit

Iranian Secularist Movements applauded an historic bill which was passed unanimously by the California Assembly. The bill, proposed by Joel Anderson (R-El Cajon), "would prohibit California's public retirement funds from investing in foreign owned companies that do business in Iran."

According to Iranian freedom fighters, this is one of the best options the US has to effectively act against the Islamic Republic.

Dear Anon-

The Illinois General Assembly has regularly used its pension fund money to develop this state's own foreign policy.

South Africa comes to mind. In the 1980's some tribal chief even came to lobby General Assembly members.
