The Vote on November 4, 2008

I live in Northern California right now and this is how I voted in the November 2008 election. I researched a lot but a very valuable site was: http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_2008_ballot_measures


Barack Obama
Lynn Woolsey (U.S. Representative)
Wesley Chesbro (Ca. State Assembly)
Prop 1A (High Speed Rail) YES
Prop 2 Farm Animal Cage YES
Prop 3 Childrens Hospital YES
Prop 4 Abortion Waiting Period NO
Prop 5 Drug Treatment/Rehab YES
Prop 6 Police/Law NO (hard to believe but read the fine print)
Prop 7 Renewable Energy Generation NO (cannot believe this but read the fine print)
Prop 8 Eliminates right to marry NO (and hell no at that people!)
Prop 9 Victims Rights NO (once again, read the fine print but sounds good.
Prop 10 Alternative Fuels/Energy NO (Mahalo to T. Boone Pickens for this one)
Prop 11 Redistricting YES
Prop 12 Veteran's Bonds Act YES
Sonoma County 5th District Supervisor: Rue Furch
Measure Q, Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit District YES (and hell YES people!)

I did my best to read as much as I could but I really hope I was not tricked or read something improperly or was not thorough enough. The great thing is though that at the very least . . . I have the right and the opportunity to vote. The time is critical for so many of us Americans now. I am afraid that if McCain does win by some amazing fluke or manipulation of the vote that there will be a revolution, and perhaps a violent one, or certainly great unrest in this country. I would take to the streets myself to protest a McCain win but really, what the hell does that mean?

What so concerns me is that Americans are beginning to lose confidence in the voting process not to mention their government. This must change.

Thanks for reading.
