voting in california.
Hey! This is for those of yoo who can vote in November (but yoo gotta live in Cali) =P Seriously, if yoo can vote, VOTE! If not… dayam fOo… I’ll go fer yur lajee ass… I only WISH I could vote… >_< So seriously, if yoo can, go vote… I sound so cheezy… GOD!
We studied this shit in Physics (in detail … DID I MEAN CIVICS?? NOW I DON’T REMEMBER, 8 YEARS LATER) so I kno what every proposition is about… so if y’all dunno what the hell the proposition is about or don’t kno how to vote for it, I’ll tell yoo! ^^; Listos? Shijak!
PROPOSITION 32 [VETERANS BOND ACT OF 2000] - NO!Maybe mai family is a bunch of pricks or something… but what this proposition does is give millions of dollars to veterans for them to start businesses and farms and shiet… and altho it says it costs taxpayers NO money, it does. For the first couple of years it may not, because it is a bond, but bonds need to be paid back eventually and guess who would be paying for it? Taxpayers. That means taxes will be raised.
PROPOSITION 33 [LEGISLATURE. PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM] - NO!!!!! TRIPLE NO!!!!
I seriously don’t kno what kinda psycho asses would vote for this shiet unless they were part of the California Legislature. This allows government members to get an extra million dollars for their retirement funds. ONLY California’s government members… pretty ridiculous. Again, taxpayers would be paying for it. That’s jes stupid anyways… why should they get special privilages?? Ridiculous. Oh! AND AND… they get BOTH this retirement money and Social Security money.
PROPOSITION 34 [CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS AND SPENDING. LIMITS. DISCLOSURE] - VOTE NO!!!
This thing says that it will cut down the spending for government officials when they run for office (meaning: they will only be able to spend up to a certain amount), but what most people don’t kno is that THERE IS ALREADY A LIMIT! And the current limit is lower than the limit that would be passed if this prop goes through. Damm politicians.
PROPOSITION 35 [PUBLIC WORK PROJECTS. USE OF PRIVATE CONTRACTORS FOR ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES] - VOTE YES!
This jes allows more than jes Caltran to work on California’s roads and stuff… which means construction will be finished faster. People think this will bring up prices, but it won’t because then there will be competition and so prices will be lower.
PROPOSITION 36 [DRUGS. PROBATION AND TREATMENT PROGRAM] - VOTE YES!
This puts drug users to go to rehab centers instead of jail… so they’ll have a chance to be clean and get better. If they do something serious under drug use tho, they’ll still go to jail. It’s jes if they only have drugs and are using drugs that they’ll go to rehab. Rehab actually costs less money to taxpayers than jails do also… so… it’s a good thing.
PROPOSITION 37 [FEES. VOTE REQUIREMENTS. TAXES] - This doesn’t really matter… vote either way. If yoo vote yes, the State Legislature needs 2/3’s of votes to pass a law. If yoo vote no, things stay the same (1/2 of votes to pass a law). We’re voting no, but I don’t really think it matters.
PROPOSITION 38 [SCHOOL VOUCHERS. STATE-FUNDED PRIVATE AND RELIGIOUS EDUCATION. PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING] - VOTE NO!
This proposition gives a $4,000 voucher for a child who wants to go to a private school… and if a child goes to a public school, his or her school gets $4,000. This is stupid because it not only raises taxes, but also will be pointless… since then private schools will just raise their tuition prices anyway. And as for private schools… our tax money ALREADY goes to them, so it’s pointless. This proposition is like communism =P Sounds great but won’t work out too well.
PROPOSITION 39 [SCHOOL FACILITIES. 55% LOCAL VOTE. BONDS, TAXES. ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIREMENTS] -
This one again doesn’t really matter… if yoo vote no, things will remain as they are and it will still take 2/3’s of votes to pass school-related stuff… if yoo vote yes, it will change to 1/2 the votes.
Yes, I kno I’m a nerd. I’m leaving. >_<
