I could higlight all the propositions but these are a few of the most important especially Prop 12, because I was very active in getting this on the bill. When people leave out Veterans I support them more than ever because I am one...I feel people should vote however they choose too and I will not highlight any more, but for the Californians on this site...know the truth and know the facts...

1. NO on 8!

I can't tell what you are trying to say about Prop 8, but please vote NO on 8.
Amending the state constitution to take away equality is a bad thing.

7 looks like one I'd vote for. Are you opposing it?

2. and you didn't think #8 was important enough to include? WTF!

3. So Prop. 8 is only about fiscal impact?? Absolutely not !

It is the first amendment tha would ever take away human rights.

The CA government also says, clearly in bold print:

ELIMINATES RIGHT OF SAME-SEX COUPLES TO MARRY. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

-Changes the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California. <This includes out of state couples>

-Provides that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.

[lies and propaganda]

4. Huey Freeman would NOT be voting yes on 8

I demand your avatar resign!
