This just in from friends on the scene...
California Republican Party (CRP) opposes Prop 1A-1F
Mike Villines & Tom Campbell had spoken in favor of 1A and Steve Poizner against.
wow. Hang tough .
after further review , I’ll go all No as well.
(meanwhile, the CTA spews out their "YES" propaganda as the CRP fiddled)
Thanks... you are correct. Not sure how I got that number, LOL

Yup! With Arnold fully on board.
I loved Jerry Brown's reasoning for backing it. It will make the Governor's job easier if he has more money to spend. GRRRRRRRRRR!
Shhheee. Nascar is on FOX
You will need a scanning electron microscope to find it. The CA repubs could hold a convention in a phone booth and have room left for a gang bang.
Darned extremists L0L
Thanks for the Nascar reminder.I’m votin’ no on all the CA ballot measures but I havn’t gotten anything in the mail yet.
I live in rural Monterey county & we have to vote absentee (no precinct). Perhaps they’re holding off on sending ‘em to registered Pubbies so as to assure more yes votes.
They’ve done it before in other elections.
You got a cup? I never got a cup. WTF?
We got a voter pamphlet in the mail yesterday and I was stunned...
Dude.
You got to hang with the goat.
We can only give out so many cups each year.
I don't even have a cup. I designed the damn graphics and I don't have a cup.
Chill!
1F - Vote YES if you do NOT want legislator pay raises (during budget deficits)
Prop 1F is about NO PAY RAISES FOR LEGISLATORS in the year WHEN THERE IS NO BALANCED BUDGET - VOTE YES for NO.
Zip a dee doo dah!!
Hey, there are 3480 FReepers registered in the “California” locale. Assuming half are trolls or have moved out since, we still are near 2000 :)
Pretty hard to voted to tax yourself MORE in this day and age.
Well, I don’t need them to tell me to oppose these POS initiatives, but it is nice to see them taking a stand.
I disagree. Off the top of my head, here are a few reasons why:
1) I don't believe that legislator's salaries are excessive given the level of experience and knowledge I want them to have.NO ON PROP 1F2) I don't want legislators who fight against tax increases and outrageous spending to be penalized. In the last go around, I'd like everyone of those Republicans who stood firm to get a raise and for the Democrats, Maldonado, Villines, and the rest of the turncoats to be thrown out entirely.
3) The amount of money you are talking about is peanuts relative to the billions in budget issues that they are passing, or more importantly stopping from passage.
4) If you read the fine print, you find that the administration can overrun the budget and run the rainy fund dry, something that is in the administration's control, not the legislature's. In such a case, this measure would penalize the legislators not those who caused the problem.
It's a silly, juvenile measure to make voters feel good by punishing "those evil legsilators" when only some of those legislator's are not doing what voters want.
I never thought they’d vote for bonds for hi-speed-rail and bike trails, but they did. ;-)
Of course, bonds are freeeeeeeeeee! /s
Plus each one of them allows a raping of a different part of the revenue from CA taxes.
Vote “Yes” if you want “No” — you gotta love the illiterates who write these ballot measures. Is it a plot to secretly pass things?
My general rule of thumb is to vote “NO” on every single ballot measure. There are a few good exceptions like Prop 13, Parental notification, Prop 8 — but not very many.
I have gotten a pamphlet but no absentee ballot yet, I usually vote absentee, and I live in Amador county. However, I can, and will, go to my polling place and vote if no ballot shows up.
