VOTE NO ON PROP 10, OR I COULD BE HOMELESS.... not kidding

[Pachamama]

79. That is a super impressive and credible list of groups and organizations supporting YES on Prop 10

As a general rule, I never vote YES without lots of research on the propositions because I am very suspicious of who was driving them and their real objective. I stopped signing petitions to get propositions on the ballot outside of grocery stores when it became obvious in CA this system was being abused. This doesn't mean there aren't good propositions backed with the right intentions, but one has to really look closely at who initiated them, sponsors them and backs them - and who opposes them.

Nobody wants anybody to become homeless....and I see the argument from our fellow DUer on this....San Francisco is a special case in our state....

I also question some of the actions by the CA Democratic State Party in last year, especially them backing Leon. I even have the benefit of knowing Gavin Newsom and his father a retired Judge for decades and while I support him, I know his history especially when it comes to his personal ties and real estate. I also know that as the candidate for Governor of CA who wants to win, he has to often take some middle/conservative positions to maintain that vote of money supporters he has. So while I agree personally and politically on about 98% of things Gavin supports, I still am not convinced if he opposes something then I better join that train.

I need to really research the issue on this Proposition before I vote on it either way. But I will admit, when I see the organizations such as the CA Teachers Association and Nurses Associations and so many more that I really respect backing to vote YES on Prop 10, I can't help but feel it isn't all bad and while it may do some harm to some, will do much good for many more. If I and others don't vote or vote without understanding its real impact, it will pass or not pass based on a few deciding.

My recommendation is for all CA voters to really study the issue close and to vote as your brain tells you to do the right thing.
