The Florida ballot is designed to screw us -- again

40. Thank you!

I vote right across the street from my house and usually wait until the actual voting day. I wanted to vote early because this election has me just as or possibly more worried than 2000 and 2004. My room-mate is much more up to speed on this stuff, but she hadn't said anything yet about voting "NO" on the amendments. I just told her about your post and she said that was exactly right. She said all of these amendments are proposed by Scott and his creeps. She's a teacher and has already felt the "Republican Governor and State Senate" insanity. She has a totally different view of her job and how she works. She still does her job, but she no longer works from 7 in the morning until the janitors kick her out at 9pm. She has over 35 years in the Broward ( South Florida ) school system. I wish she could quit. She gets constant phone calls to tutor ( she's a math/science genius ) for very good money, but she likes it where she is. I don't think she has the type of kids you can help. Her belief is if she can just get a handful on the right track she has accomplished something. She's right, of course. I just don't know how she deals with both the school system (state) and the out of control students and still keep her sanity. The thought of a Romney win simply scares the frickin' daylights out of me. I can't imagine what more it would do to her working conditions or the possibility that they might find a way to fire her. They want the highly paid older teachers out. Oh, and the highly paid is relative.
