Election day is here

Today is the day, and either we'll walk away a batter country without going to war, or we're screwed plain and simple, or is it? Problem is in this day and age with the media level that we happen to have these days, it's no longer that simple any more. However those that want you to know the truth are always adapting to those ways to make sure that you get the information correct that you need in order to make the right decision and choices, that way you can wake up in the morning and know that you've made a difference even though you think that you might not have.

Personally I'm a writer, and while I've been at work for the past few days I've been thinking about how in the world I could actually get that truth to you all, and then I realized that I've got a blog that I could be able to do that with, and despite the invisible readership that I happen to have, I do know that there are people that read this, and through them that this message could be spread. So I figured that I would write up an entire deal as to everything that was being voted on, now the only kicker is that I can't cover anything on a national level except for the Presidential elections. The only thing that I can cover is that which is on the state and local level only, however I figured that would help out greatly considering that there's several Props and measures that need to be dealt with before tomorrow's election. Now the book that covers everything for the state of California is bloody thick and so I'm not going to actually write out what everything is in detail, however I am going to cover each prop that's being voted on (though for some reason I'm getting lost when it comes to finding the letter props), and I'm going to let you know in lay terms what each prop is going to mean for the people of California if voted on and passed. The only thing that I can hope is that what I write here will actually make a HUGE difference for those that would like to get the right information. After I cover the props that are on the ballot, then I'll cover the Presidential side of everything.

The first one is Prop 30, which yesterday was the first time that I actually heard an ad over the radio against it, but then there was nothing there dealing with it, just with a different Prop number. Now from what the book says on the Quick-Reference Guide side of the entire thing: "Temporary taxes to fund education. Guaranteed local public safety funding. Initiative constitutional amendment" Now what the whole thing is dealing with (and I know understand what the slight negative ad has been about), is something that the rich here in California don't want, this prop is it becomes law will increase taxes on them and any taxes from that prop going to schools will be staying with the schools period and that the lawmakers can't touch it for anything other than for the schools where they've been cutting for years, even Brown can't touch it at all.

The one thing that I've noticed over the years since Brown took back office of the state, is that when he threatens to tax the people of California, he's usually threatening the rich Republicans that they need to be given higher taxes and not the people of California, however what I've seen is that the rich in this state don't care and when Brown does tax the middle and lower classes of California, the rich are laughing since they know that they'll never get taxed at all. Yet with this law, its the one thing that they're now fearing since they know that if it passes, then they will be paying a higher tax rate here in this state, despite the Bush tax cuts that were put in place that no Republican ever wants to get rid of (no matter what they say to the people of their district).

Personally I say Yes on 30 and to tell the rich in this state to kiss the people of California's asses it's time that you all paid your fair share.

The next one in line is Prop 31, and that one I've been hearing about like crazy and seeing the lawn signs about this one, this one is a bad prop that has so many loopholes that it's not even funny at all. The kicker is, when reading the law as it will end up being written if it passes, it would almost confuse the hell out of me if it wasn't for the fact that I can actually read legal, I would be thinking that I was reading a copy of the Patriot Act document that happens to be written the same bloody way. This is one act that should be avoided and not passed by any means.

It would create massive confusion, hell it even confused the hell out of me to the point that I'm looking up everything I can on it, and I'm still getting no where. Now personally if it confused the hell out of me, think about what it's going to do if it becomes part of the law, that's bad right there, and so in a word, just kill this one and vote no period.

Now the next one that I've been seeing has been dealing with Prop 32, and all of the No ads and lawn signs have been from the Unions out there. From what I've been hearing, this is a major anti-union prop that would just about kill everything that unions stand for and the rich happen to hate. it's called the "Political contributions by payroll deduction. Contributions to candidates. Initiative statute."

What this law would do would be to allow your boss to take money from your payroll and to give it to the candidate of their choice, even if you don't happen to like that candidate, tough. Personally I say the hell with this one, it's your money that you've earn and you should decide where it happens to go

Now as you may have noticed there's only a couple of the props up there, that's because for this state it's become so nuts that one can't cover it any more, unless it's just one prop that a person is dealing with. Personally though I'm more concerned over who's going to become the next President of the United States, and I'm more interested in it being our current President than someone that's going to be lying his ass off constantly and take the majority of our rights and flush them down the toilet for the major corporations out there.

Now here's the few things that I would actually like to see changed when it comes to the next four years, the Patriot Act, I would like to see that completely gone, considering the fact that it voids a ton of constitutional rights right there, and the majority of the supreme court that said it was constitutional was in Bush's back pocket at the time when it was passed through in the first place. After all with that act right there, is makes everyone suspicious of EVERYONE, and that was the one thing that the Republicans wanted in the first place after 9/11, was to make sure that they kept power by keeping everyone in fear of the next attack. Kicker here is that if we hadn't gone to war with Iraq in the first place, it would've worked, except that the lies kept piling up and nothing made sense to the point that the Republicans have now lost everything. So yeah that act needs to go.

To be honest, when I was writing up about the first one I actually forgot about the second one, yeah I know idiot move, but that happens to me at times. I'll actually be talking about that on my other blog. However right now, we all need to get out there and vote and make sure that the next four years is a move forward and not back, and you all know how I feel about any and all Republicans these days, that party needs to go away forever.
