My guy lost; that SOB that won ain't gettin no support otta me!

What if you voted no for some initiatives because you thought they reduced the authority of the California citizen to be responsible for his own self government? Like the idea that a tribunal of judges should replace elected representatives? I do not like what has happened to California districts, but I like even less, as all freedom loving Americans should, the idea that an unelected tribunal should decide election boundaries, or anything to do with elections. The less elected representation we have in our government the more difficult it becomes to preserve personal liberty. Governor Schwarzenegger is pushing toward less and less representative government and more and more council style government with his initiative and with his California performance Review. The changes he desires step California away from a repesentative republic and put us squarely into the type of government that the globalists love, which is appointed representatives. In this election, conservatives had the 'choice' to support the "party" or to support the principles of a free society. Judical tribunals are NOT conducive to personal liberty.

"Judical tribunals are NOT conducive to personal liberty."

In general, I agree with that statement, but I am not too clear on how having judges draw up districts under the parameters of the initiative would affect our liberties. And if it didn't work well, it could be undone.
