I'm very opitmistic. This cannot win.

That's what Georgia does all the time. For the ballot, they phrase a referendum is a way that sounds completely different than what it really is.

I know in 2004, I had to call 3 different places to find out what in the hell the Ref. really meant. For voters who don't take the time to find out, it's just TS. They find out what they did, but after it's too late!

Most do not read it, though. Our summaries are written by a non-partisan office so it's fairly accurate. We have too many propositions on the ballot and it would take hours to read them. I only read them when I have a question about the wording. I review the summary and the arguements for and against the proposition which are also in the pamphlet.

Initially groups, Teachers, Nurses, Firefighters, Police, various
Unions...were reluctant 2 include 73 on their 'NO' list. They didn't want 2 alienate middle of the road 'NO' votes - whatever that is. That group think forced Planned Parenthood 2 devise their own NO campaign on 73. Recently the Teachers, Nurses etc began including the information on their precinct walks. I know from my experience in getting out the 'NO in NOvember' vote, once people hear it is a CA Constitution amendment and that the burden 2 inform the parent(s) is on the doctor...it is the DR who is fined or jailed if the parents are not informed...they decide it is wrong and will vote no.

A little education goes a long way.

Nix on 73,74,75,75,76,77, yes on 79 & 80

I voted absentee. No polling place here in the mountains.

No on everything except 79 & 80.

Ah-nold probably isn't happy with me.

Thanks in advance. I didn't have much luck finding one.

If you can't find it, then send me a PM with your location and I'll find it for you. :hi:

That's probably the easiest thing to do. Bring your ID (driver's license)

as I posted yesterday.

christofascists phone messages have a woman who claims her daughter's boyfriend's mom forced the daughter out of school and made her go to a planned parenthood office where the daughter was forced to have an abortion and the original mom could do nothing to stop the abortion.

the woman did not say she was an actor reading a script. it was portrayed as a real person story.

You would think Reuters could get this right.
