Generally speaking, one should always vote “No” on propositions. If the idea was a good idea, your elected officials would already have pushed it through and made it legislation (and then told you how good they are for getting good things done).

The exception is when it is a great idea, but no elected official would vote in favor of it. The example is Prop 13. Limiting the taxes that the government can collect was a great idea, but no tax spender would have voted in favor of it.

Prop 13 has 47 years of supplying an extremely stable amount of money to Sacramento. You’ll hear bureaucrats whining they don’t have enough money, but that’s because they want to be big spenders out of other people’s wallets, and they don’t care about the economic hit they impose.

What we need are less scum Democrats! I note that only one ethnic group has a say in this article. The rest of us do deserve representation, no matter what our useless governor thinks!

No Bot here. Just a Valley resident against the hatred of the tiny group of left wing extremists here in Visalia.

Vote NO unless you want these left wing extremists, who have been killing and using violence to take over Central Valley values.

Even Kwai-Chang Caine knew that at some point, passive resistance was insufficient. When action was required because of the deeds of others, he reluctantly but efficiently responded.
That’s what California is proposing to do now. React in proportion to the actions of others. Orange Idiot wants Texas to give him five more seats in the House of Representatives by changing their districts early, so a proportional response by California is called for. This will dissolve the attempt to advantage the Republicans unfairly, and return the playing field to its previous status.
California is a bit like Kwai-Chang Caine – once you stir us to action, after all other avenues of response have been travelled, we’ll put you on your backside. Politely, and calmly.
