CALIFORNIA PROPOSITIONS

NO on Prop 51. SCHOOL BONDS.  It has some very BAD features hidden in the fine print. It does NOT help the schools that really need the help.

NO on Prop 52. TAX ON HOSPITALS. It is a very bad idea to put a hospital tax into the state constitution. It is also unnecessary as the current tax is not due to expire for two more years.

NO on Prop 53. The entire state will have to approve expensive local projects. VERY BAD IDEA as it will make it harder for local groups to get needed project approved.

YES on Prop 54. Three day internet notice before passing a bill which may become a state law. Eliminates nasty surprises.

YES on Prop 55. Tax on rich to help schools. YES. I hate taxes that go into the constitution, but at least this one only lasts for 12 years, and is already in effect.

NO on Prop 56. Tax on cigarettes. This is another nasty sneaky attempt to TAKE MONEY AWAY FROM OUR SCHOOLS.

YES on Prop 57. Inmate rehabilitation. This rewards those who try to learn from their mistakes. Let inmates become taxpayers.

YES on Prop 58. Learn English+. If Californians are to remain world leaders, we must be able to speak English+.

YES on Prop 59. Advise that we hate the Citizens United decision, for all the difference it will make, which is none.

NO on Prop 60. Condoms in adult films. It will kill a major California industry and is, frankly, none of our business.

NO on Prop 61. Prescription drug prices. The list of organizations that oppose this is enough for me.

YES on Prop 62. Life in prison instead of death penalty. EVEN ONE MISTAKE IS ONE TOO MANY.

YES on Prop 63. Prohibits large capacity ammo magazines. At least there is a chance to jump the shooter while he reloads.

YES on Prop 64. Legalize marijuana. YES! YES! YES! What has taken so long? YES yesterday!

NO on Prop 65. Grocery bags. It is stupid to put this diddly stuff in the state constitution. Learn how to make your legislators responsive to the people.

NO on Prop 66. Who cares if you kill the innocent? Just do it quickly. NO. NO. NO.

NO on Prop 67. Bag tax. Makes the disabled and poor PAY for needing a strong bag to carry stuff home in. NO. The people who make these laws think everybody has a car and a suburban home. Most of us take the bus or walk long ways to our homes.
