And then I realize only a few people on my flist are in California

Everybody knows which presidential candidate they're going to vote for, but I'm finding that lots of people are not yet informed about the propositions on their ballot, which are more likely to directly affect their lives. This troubles me because tons of people are going to go to the polls to vote for the president, but then see the propositions and just vote whatever based on a potentially misleading sentence summary. So here's my tiny share of fighting ignorance.

First of all, everybody (in CA) should read up on the ballot measures. Or at least go to that link just to laugh at the failed proposition that Declares God Creator of Life. Then feel free to discuss below. I especially welcome you trying to change my mind because there are a few I'm not totally solid on (and probably a few you're not totally solid on ;)).

Hint: for those of you who don't want to read all that legal mumbo-jumbo (who does?) the Arguments and Rebuttals for each prop is relatively quick and easy information. I usually cast my vote against the side with the most sensationalist arguments :D

P.S. While I'm at it, here is a lovely photo essay on Obama. ::wibble:: YesWeCan% Certain
