New poll shows most California voters want to see tougher punishment for theft, fentanyl crimes
MSN ^ | 8/16 | Mackenzie Mays

Amajority of likely California voters support stiffer penalties for crimes involving theft and fentanyl, according to a new UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll co-sponsored by The Times. The results of the poll released Friday showed that 56% of Californians would support Proposition 36, an initiative on the November ballot that would impose stricter sentences for repetitive theft and offenses involving the deadly drug fentanyl.

The proposition has been at the center of a battle in the state Capitol this year as Republicans and law enforcement advocates call for the undoing of Democratic reform policies that downgraded some felonies to misdemeanors, which they blame for an increase in organized retail theft and “smash and grab” robberies.

The poll also gauges how voters feel about initiatives designed to respond to California’s high cost of living. According to the poll, a majority of likely voters support a measure to increase the state minimum wage to $18 per hour, though those surveyed were more divided over a measure that would embolden local governments to expand rent control but still lean toward “yes.”

You idiots aren’t going to get more riot control as long as the Voo Doo Hoo Doo Jammie Kammie is in the White House. Think about it. She’s on their side not yours.

Thank you for referencing that article nickcarraway.

"New poll shows most California voters want to see tougher punishment for theft, fentanyl crimes"


Not only do California qualified citizen voters need to elect new local and state governments that will actually listen to what the voters want, but the whole nation needs to come to the rescue of oppressed California voters, citizens oppressed by other states too, by electing a new, Trump-supporting federal Congress that will actually do its duty to guarantee each state a republican form of government.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

Also, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

And then they’ll vote for extreme leftist Democrats so they can feel good about themselves.

Stuck on stupid!

Contrary to your cynical belief there does happen to be at least some oversight and good decision making in some places. One is in Georgia. There’s a lot more where she came from but it’s at least a start.

Hey voter fraud denier, chew on this:

I received about 20 emails last night from people telling me that they went to vote for @larryelder, only to learn that they had already voted. This needs to be investigated. It seems like the fix is in.

Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government

In a direct democracy, the citizens of a state are not voting for Representatives because they are responsible for making laws themselves. Which is what we're seeing in California.

But the courts refuse to get involved.
