RESPECT CIVIL RIGHTS

Civil rights should never be restricted by a popular vote.  Any proposition that restricts people's rights should usually be defeated. Depending on how the ballot measure is phrased, this may be a Yes or a No vote. (ie: a proposition to overturn slavery should receive a “yes” vote).  VNOE’s position on California’s Proposition 8 can be found here.



SPREAD THE WORD

Talk to your friends and family this. Talk to everyone you know about this. In many ways, propositions are more important than who you vote to send to Washington. Your vote directly creates law. Your vote directly spends taxpayer money. Your vote defines the rights of your fellow citizens

BE AN EDUCATED VOTER – DON’T VOTE YES SO EASILY

We encourage you to raise your internal standard and make your default to VOTE NO ON EVERYTHING. Make sure that you understand that a given proposition is very important and fair and that you understand exactly how the money is being spent before you are willing to even consider voting yes.

VOTE NO ON EVERYTHING by default. Make them work for your “yes”. Don’t vote YES unless you understand fully the cost and implications of that proposition. Don’t pay attention to the 30-second ads on TV.



CHANGE THE SYSTEM

Support legal changes to improve or dismantle the Proposition system.  What are some changes which might help? 

  1. •Change from simple (50%) majority to at least 2/3 vote

  2. •Cap spending permitted by a single Proposition

  3. •Restrict Propositions so they cannot impinge on civil rights

  4. •Mandate “Truth in Advertising”

  5. •Limit word count of propositions to reduce voter confusion

  6. •Mandate propositions identify their funding source

  7. •Require a greater number of signatures to get on the ballot

  8. •Prevent out-of-state financial support of CA Propositions
