John & Ken Voter Guide for NOVEMBER 2, 2010 CA Elections

John and Ken Voter Guide

VOTE - November 2, 2010

 Proposition 19 - VOTE YESLegalizes Marijuana Under California but Not Federal Law. Permits Local Governments to Regulate and Tax Commercial Production, Distribution, and Sale of Marijuana. Initiative Statute.
Hey, are we still a “conservative” talk show now?  The benefits outweigh the risks.   
Proposition 20 - VOTE YESRedistricting of Congressional Districts. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.  Turns over drawing congressional district maps to the people where it belongs. 
Proposition 21 - VOTE NOEstablishes $18 Annual Vehicle License Surcharge to Help Fund State Parks and Wildlife Programs. Grants Surcharged Vehicles Free Admission to All State Parks. Initiative Statute.
A car tax increase to “fund” parks? You already pay for that with your other taxes.
Proposition 22 - VOTE YESProhibits the State from Borrowing or Taking Funds Used for Transportation, Redevelopment, or Local Government Projects and Services. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Just trying to head off feeding the Sacramento spending beast. 
Proposition 23 - VOTE YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!Suspends Implementation of Air Pollution Control Law (AB 32) Requiring Major Sources of Emissions to Report and Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions That Cause Global Warming, Until Unemployment Drops to 5.5 Percent or Less for Full Year. Initiative Statute.
Stop the Global Warming Final Solutions Act.  'Nuff said.
Proposition 24 - VOTE NORepeals Recent Legislation That Would Allow Businesses to Lower Their Tax Liability. Initiative Statute.
Sacramento, leave businesses alone for your tax grabs.
Proposition 25 - VOTE NOChanges Legislative Vote Requirement to Pass Budget and Budget-Related Legislation from Two-Thirds to a Simple Majority. Retains Two-Thirds Vote Requirement for Taxes. Initiative Constitutional Amendment. However they try to sell this, changing the 2/3 vote for anything except a tax cut would be a mistake.
Proposition 26 - VOTE YESRequires That Certain State and Local Fees Be Approved by Two-Thirds Vote. Fees Include Those That Address Adverse Impacts on Society or the Environment Caused by the Fee-Payer's Business. Initiative Constitutional Amendment. This time a “yes” vote fights tax increases.
Proposition 27 - VOTE NO!Eliminates State Commission on Redistricting. Consolidates Authority for Redistricting with Elected Representatives. Initiative Constitutional Amendment and Statute.
The political Democratic hacks put this on the ballot and are contributing big time to stop the people from drawing their Legislative and Congressional districts – don’t let them!
