Register to Vote Now if You Haven’t Already
There is too much at stake in this election. Not only do we have a chance to kick some republicans out of congress, but there are a ton of amendments and referenda to vote for. Here’s a handy guide (for Colorado flatearthers):
| Name | Summary | Cannonballer’s Vote |
|---|---|---|
| Amendment 38 | Complicated rules expanding voter’s powers through petitions. | I voted for a representative to handle this job. Plus this type of thing fucked up California already. I say no. |
| Amendment 39 | Force schools to spend 65% of their money on “classroom” expenditures | Why don’t we legislate the school lunch menu for the next ten years too. Let’s let the local school boards figure out their own priorities. After all, football is the only thing some of those backwards red couties have going for them. I say no. |
| Amendment 40 | Stricter term limits for judges. | Asinine. No. |
| Amendment 41 | No more “gifts” over $50 for our elected officials. | I have not idea if this will have any effect at all. I doubt it. I say no. It will just free up the legislature’s time and they’ll start coming up with new ways to fuck us. I say let them keep on chasing big bucks. |
| Amendment 42 | Raise minimum wage from $5.15 to $6.85 and adjust it every year for inflation. | Solidarity brothers! Hell yes. |
| Amendment 43 | Fag up the constitution with “marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman” horseshit. | Um, no. |
| Amendment 44 | Legalize possession of pot <= 1 oz. | Why not? |
| Referendum E | Lower property taxes for vets. | Since the feds have abandoned them, we ought to lend a hand. I say yes. |
| Referendum F | Recall election stuff. | Confusing and I suspect a little sinister. I say no. |
| Referendum G | Get rid of ye olde obsolete constitution articles. | Get rid of an unending souce of “would you believe?” jokes? I say no. |
| Referendum H | Penalize business that knowingly employ illegals. | “Jose? Illegal? I had no idea.” This will never work. I say no. |
| Referendum I | Allow domestic partnerships. | Homos need dependent health insurance too. I say yes. |
| Referendum J | More school spending requirements. See amendment 38. | I say no. |
| Referendum K | Sue the feds into enforcing immigration laws. | Oh, maybe if we’re lucky they’ll build a wall around our state too. I say no. |
There. I’ve done all the hard work for you. Just get a ballot and mail it in or try your luck with one of those newfangled voting machines everyone’s talking about.
I’m looking at you Nad.
kk - These good people pretty much agree with you, and it’s a toss-up on the few they don’t….I’m with ya, brother! Volvo Solidarity! Right On!
