Prop. 30: No It’s tax increase they say it’s for the schools, but they have tried that before, many times and it never works, it ends up getting lost in the bureaucracy and never ends up going where they say it will. Jerry Brown is pushing for this and he says he will increase taxes even if it fails, but why give him the satisfaction of a successful threat?
Prop 31: I still haven’t figured this one out, it seems to reallocate funds.
Prop 32: Yes Unions should not be able to force their members to supported something they do not. I support free association and people can be a member of a union if they choose but also be able to not join a union if they choose and not support Union causes
Prop. 33: This one deals with a change I the way auto insurance is handled, but it is rather confusing so I am going with No.
Prop 34: Let me explain the situation here first. I can actually understand the argument from both sides on this one. Yes, overall California does not abuse the death penalty like Texas does but the issue is, once it is decided it is irreversible. There have been too many death penalty cases that were posthumously found to have been unfortunate. In a world where we have a perfect justice system but still murders then we could keep it but we don’t live in such a world. Some people will argue that a quicker appeals process for death row inmates will save money but that only increases the chance of mistakes. We could make life sentences less cushy. On the other hand there is always a risk of escape from inmates serving life and murder is such a serious crime as to deserve a serious punishment, but as I have stated there is a risk to the innocent.
Prop 35: Yes- This increases the penalties on human traffickers which are currently very weak. The only group I see presenting an argument against it is an erotic services company.
Prop 36: Each felony needs to be looked at on a case to case basis some need to be one strike.
Prop 37: No , this will only give the FDA more power to regulate food and they are a bully organization, it was government regulation that got us into the mess that it is claiming to fix so more government regulation will only make the problem worse. Companies should be able to voluntarily label their food in fact the regulations they now face which make it harder for non-GMO foods to get on the market is part of what causes this whole mess in the first place. This is about consumer choice. http://reason.com/archives/2012/09/15/why-californias-gmo-labeling-law-isnt-th
Prop 38: No- This is very similar to prop. 30 only with different numbers. No for the same reason.
Prop 39: No- this is a tax increase with the state purpose of creating more jobs but that won’t work. It specifically refers to alternative energy jobs but we shouldn’t be subsidizing energy and alternative energy hasn’t gotten to a point of being profitable yet.
Prop40: Yes- It reaffirms the citizen redistricting committee and opposition has been withdrawn. It is rather confusing because a yes reaffirms what has already gone into effect.
Elections around the country, these are candidates I am most enthusiastic about.
The reelection campaigns of Tom McClintock (CA), Justin Amash (MI), Walter B. Jones, they have been some of the handful of National Politicians that have actually respected the Constitution.
Barry Hinckley (Senate from Rhode Island)
Thomas Massie (House, Kentucky)
Steve Stockman (House, TX)
Kurt Bills (Senate from Minnesota)
Jeff Flake for Arizona Senate
Importantly, these people are Pro-life and have opposed the NDAA 2012
