the 11 amendments were placed on the ballot by Republicans so vote NO!

These are not citizen driven. They are not non-partisan. The League of Women Voters are encouraging voters to vote NO!

These are highly partisan reich wing amendments. Tell friends on Facebook and all other social media to vote NO on all amendments.

Some are really obnoxious: Amendment 1 is an attempt to circumvent the PPACA mandate. No. 5 would give the legislature the authority to overturn court decisions by majority vote. No. 6 prohibits the use of public funding for abortion or for health-benefits coverage that includes abortion. No. 8 would enable public funding of churches and religious schools. The other amendments appear to be less obnoxious but contain a lot of convoluted language, and considering the source, I don't trust them and will vote against them.

Also on the ballot: recall votes on Court Justices who all happen to be Democrats. Vote yes to retain them.
