Californians + People in LA County - Who/What R U Voting For & Why?!?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Teddy Roosevelt:
I've still got another year before I'm eligible to vote, but if I could I would of voted:


Prop. 1A - SAFE, RELIABLE HIGH-SPEED PASSENGER TRAIN BOND ACT.

Voting - YES - Though I'm worried about the budget, I see infrastructure as a crucial expense.

Prop. 2 - STANDARDS FOR CONFINING FARM ANIMALS. INITIATIVE STATUTE.

Voting - Yes - Not really that important, but animals are living things too.

Prop. 3 - CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL BOND ACT. GRANT PROGRAM. INITIATIVE STATUTE.

Voting - No - California's health care system needs to be changed as a whole. Increasing funding for one part is ineffective.

Prop 4. - WAITING PERIOD AND PARENTAL NOTIFICATION BEFORE TERMINATION OF MINOR'S PREGNANCY.

Voting - Yes - This is  a hard vote, because you lose either way. I vote yes because unless abortions are free, you'll still have back ally abortions. If a parent is a legal guardian they have the right to know.

Prop 5 - NONVIOLENT DRUG OFFENSES. SENTENCING, PAROLE AND REHABILITATION

Voting - Yes - Non violent drug possession is not a serious crime. The California prison system is under strain from housing 3 times as many inmates as the prisons were designed for. Simply jailing every law breaker is not practical.

Prop 6 - POLICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT FUNDING. CRIMINAL PENALTIES AND LAWS.

Voting - No - See E-Crazy's response.

Prop 7 - RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION.

Voting - No - I love renewable energy as much as the next person, but forcing private companies to get more renewable energy is a mistake. Incentives like tax breaks are the way to go so we don't burden companies who are unable to fufill these rewuiremtns at this time. Laws prohibiting utility companies from passing along penalties to their rate-payers already exist if I'm not mistaken. And these laws are almost impossible to enforce because it is so hard to tell why a company raises rates (never mind proving it).

Prop 8 - ELIMINATES RIGHT OF SAME-SEX COUPLES TO MARRY.

Voting - No - Don't really care either way, but under equal rights, this law shouldn't pass.

Prop 9 - CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. VICTIMS' RIGHTS. PAROLE.

Voting - Yes. Protecting human rights and saving some money too.

Prop 10 - ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLES AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

Voting - Yes. I'm Kind of 50/50 on this, but I'd vote yes. It provides the incentives I was talking about on prop 7.

Prop 11 - REDISTRICTING

Voting - Elected officials have proved to be incompetent. A change is needed.

Prop 12 - VETERANS' BOND ACT OF 2008.

Voting - Yes - Don't see any reason to deny vets chance to buy homes/farms. Won't cost much to California, since it's just a loan.

President - Obama/Biden

SO PRUP:
voted the same on all of those along with yes on prop r

Mr. O:
I wanna speak something on prop 4 and 5..

on 4: would you vote yes still if a girl got pregnated by her own father?  I mean, it's pointless to tell her father, right?  I voted yes though...
just something to think about...I was gonna put no..but I sticked with my gun.

on 5: Why should should we pay for someone's problem?  Can't they pay their rehab if they are serious about being cured?  I voted yes, however.
I was gonna put no...anyway.

I was just trying to point out pros and cons.

Javier:
Prop 11 is being misunderstood
