Proposition Ballot Guide

Proposition 1: High-Speed Rail- the longer we wait, the more $$ it will cost. YES

Proposition 2: Pregnant hogs and hens SHOULD be able to stand up and turn around, n'est pas?
YES

Proposition 3: Childrens' Hospital Bond Act- $ 400,000,000.00 is still left from the last C. H. Bond measure.
NO

Proposition 4: Another Parental Notification Boondoggle
NO

Proposition 5: Non-Violent Offender Reform and Rehab; Good intentions, bad form and timing. Reducing non-violent marijuana/drug sentences is a good thing; the argument that reducing parole length endangers us more is ridiculous, as parolees are already on the street. The difficulty for me is spending 1 billion dollars annually right now, even though it may reduce increases in Prison Spending by 1 billion annually- in the future. The League of Women Voters says YES, so...
YES

Proposition 6: Mandates Law Enforcement Funding;
NO

Proposition 7: Energy Bureaucracy
NO

Proposition 8: Equality for All
NO! NO! NO!

Proposition 9: Victims' Rights Bureaucracy
NO

Proposition 10: Alternative Fuel Vehicle Bureaucracy
NO

Proposition 11: Redistricting
NO

Proposition 12: Veterans Bond Act
YES

You really, really mean NO on Prop 8. A NO vote preserves the rights of same-sex couples to marry. A yes vote would take those rights away. Given that you presided over my marriage, I'm guessing you're in favor of marriage equality rights ;-)
