Well I am excited to vote on some important propositions! Now I am sure there are many reasons why these props are not perfect (the good ones) but I am excited to be able to vote for things like the end of the death penalty and the three strikes law! Excited to vote for more money for schools! Excited to vote to label GMO food! Excited to vote to protect the labor union's ability to counter balance corporate spending in politics!
So here are my endorsements with little or no explanation as I do not have much time:
Prop 30: YES!!!! Our school's have had their budgets cut to the BONE! We need the money. Voting yes sends the message we are willing to invest in the right things!
Prop 31: No. When in doubt vote no on props! This does not seem like the fix we need.
Prop 32: NO!!!!!! This is an attack on political influence of unions by the corporate ruling class. VERY bad idea!
Prop 33: No! I have heard great arguments against this, a bad one.
Prop 34: YES!!!! End the death penalty - makes sense morally and financially. If you think we should have the death penalty look at the short list of countries that have it and ask yourself if they are known as models of human rights: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0777460.html
Prop 35: NO. advocates say this law will do more harm than good.
Prop 36: YES! We imprison more people for non-violent offenses than any country in the world. The corporate prison complex is breaking our bank and ruining people's lives.
Prop 37: YES! of course! We have the right to know what we are eating! GMO's may pose a threat to health and nature and if nothing else they are a tool for corporations like Monsanto to control our food supply. We should be able to chose if we support these products. Once again, the US is way behind most of the world on this issue.
Prop 38: YES! Regardless of the details, our schools need money and our politicians need to know that we think so.
