  • Which state Ballot Measures would you vote for?

    Polls are fun.

    I actually voted FOR Calif. #2, the banning mistreatment of farm animals. In restrospect, I wish I hadn't.

    It's a good law, but it should have been passed by the Legislature, not by the citizenry. I'm getting tired of people turning to the initiative process for every little thing.

      Well if we're just going on what the poll says they do... (which is likely not the same as if I knew the details)

      End affirmative action
      Decriminalize pot
      Teacher raises based on performance
      Legalize assisted suicide
      Permit embryonic stem cell research
      Banana rights

        If the tax one passes in Massachussets then the voters are going to get a big surprise when State government has to make deep DEEP cuts to services.

        I generally think ballot iniciatives are a bad idea. Most voters do not take the time to study the issues.

        Oh, and I supported

        Decriminalize Pot
        Teacher raises based on performance
        tax for the arts
        Tobacco prevention and treatment
        Legalize assisted suicide
        Banana rights

              I might consider others.

                The age of consent in SC can't seriously be under 16, can it?

                    South Dakota Measure 11

                    I would vote for all of these.

                    I think getting rid of income tax would be great.

                      Texas doesn't have state income tax.

                          This is a horrible bill, don't vote for it.

                            Maine Question 1 - Create Beverage Tax


                            No no no no no. The legislature already created a beverage tax. The question was whether or not to repeal it. And the real question is whether or not people want to continue funding Dirigo, the state's government health care program (which, while not great, is good enough and cheap enough to give a lot of small businesses the ability to offer health insurance that they wouldn't be able to offer at all otherwise). Saying it's about the beverage tax is just the easiest way to attack Dirigo.
