Proposition 9

Is anyone working on overturning Proposition 9? This bill will have disastrous results on the lives on
people in the worst position of all. They're in prison, they've done their time and they can't get parole hearings for ten extra years?

I don't live in California so I am not getting any information about this. Perhaps it will be found unconstitutional?
Perhaps SOMEONE is trying to change it?

1. I agree. It's a horrible prop and I can't figure out why it passed

I'm sure the prision industry was behind it. It will cost CA a lot of money to enforce.

2. I totally voted NO on Prop 9.

Bad, a very bad, idea, IMO.

4. I think that if someone challenges this in court, it will be overturned.

I can't believe the loony propositions we get on the California ballots. :eyes:
