The Official You're My Boy, Blue! Voters Guide Part 2

I decided that Prop 8 and the President deserves separate posts. So, we'll skip them for now and continue on...

PROP 9: Criminal Justice System Victims' Rights, Parole, Etc.
Man, there's a lot of these types of props this year. In fact, there's more props on the ballot this year than I can remember in ages. This one wants to add (seemingly) redundant laws that are already in place. It seems like a bad idea in a weak economy to spend money on something that we already have.

VOTE: NO on Prop 9

PROP 10: Alternative Fuel Vehicles And Renewable Energy Bonds
Another clean energy prop. This one, at least, seems legit. Thank God. I feel better being able to vote for one of them.

VOTE: YES on PROP 10

PROP 11: Redistricting
Redistricting is an ugly word in politics because it usually means one party or the other is trying to figure out a way to take advantage of the ethnic/economic makeup of an area to get more votes. The Democratic Party mailer calls it a "right-wing power grab" - sounds about right.

VOTE: NO on PROP 11

PROP 12: Veterans' Bond Act Of 2008
Low-interest home buying rates for veterans? I'm in. It's the least we can do for continuing to send them off to fight in pointless wars.

VOTE: YES on PROP 12
