It is almost that time, November 2nd is right around the corner and this 2010 election year is possible one of the most important elections that will take place. Not for our state but for our country. Lets PRAY the toss up states will vote the "right" way and we can take back the house and senate. It won't make everything perfect but if we hold those we elect responsible, we might be able to get America on the correct path again. Ok if you are sick of BIG government and a fiscal conservative like me, you can check out how I am going to vote on the props. Lets get started. =)
Prop 106 - YES- Healthcare
This is NOT healthcare reform, but laying the groundwork so we don't have to be apart of that terrible Obamacare. 1. It makes it so you don't have to buy insurance if you don't want to, unlike Obamacare you will be FORCED to buy it or will pay a fine. Very unconstitutional. 2. You will have the right to spend your own money and 3. It will not effect medicare. This is the most important prop, so spread the word!!
Prop 107- YES - Preferential treatment or discrimination prohibition
This is a no brainer......it is basical saying no special treatment for government workers or discriminating against them.
Prop 109- YES- Hunting and Fishing
This is protecting those who hunt and fish from the environmentalist. Their is nothing wrong with hunting or fishing and this let those who get their tags and do it legally, to be able to continue to. This is the preferred way to control and manage wildlife.
Prop 110- Yes- Exchanging or paying for land for development
This one is hard to explain but in a nutshell, it lets the government pay you or give you state trust land, if you own property around a military base, school, prisons etc.. to help with the development.
Prop 111- NO- Changing name titles
This one sounds great and nice but their is one part of the prop I don't like. First off it is basically wanting to change the title of Secratary of State to Lieutenant Governor, because many people don't know that is a Governor resigns or quits, then the current Secretary of State takes that spot till the term ends. Example, Janet Napeloitano left to go work at the White House to be Homeland Security, so Jan Brewer bumped up to Governor. If that was all the prop did I would vote yes but another part of the prop is the person running for Governor would have to be on the same ticket as the Lieutenant Governor. So what if you like one but not the other. You have no choice and have to vote for for both. Hope that made sense.
Prop 112- YES- Filing ballots
This is great because gives those sending in a ballot 2 extra months. Therefore gives more time to also check signatures.
Prop 113- Yes- Secret ballot
This just guarantees the right to vote by secret ballot
Prop 203- NO- Medical Marijuana
Ok, don't even get me started on this one because I'm upset people are giving up on this and saying "lets just legalize it and then tax it to death so we can make money" Really people you are willing to have dope users all over the place just to make money? Or when people say "we waste lots of money having the police try and regulate this". Well think about this....you want someone growing dope next door to you and you can't do anything about it. Yeah that is just what I want, to be in the backyard playing with my kids and having the smell of someone in their backyard smoking pot, lingering over to our house. PLEASE be smart and vote NO!!!! Also don't try and give me the comparison to alcohol, so not the same!!
Prop 301- No- Transferring 152 million dollars that was set aside for Land Conservation to the State "General" funds.
I say no because they (as in the legislature) need to have a plan for this money. I don't want 152 million dollars to just go to the "general" fund. If voted No it will force them to go back and make a better argument as to where the money will go specifically.
Prop 302- Yes- Terminate the "First things First" (Arizona early childhood development program)
This Program was voted in back in the late 90's. It is funded by a tobacco tax. This is not as great of a program it sounds. Most of the money goes to the administration and little actually goes to the children. We already have ACCESS for the kids, we don't need lots of other little programs claiming to help the children. This is worded very weird to make sure you remember to vote YES, don't be fooled.
Ok please let me know if you have further questions, call me, text me, email me, facebook me.....whatever. =)
