For propositions, read them through and if they look like they were written by and for a corporation, or are racist in sentiment, make sure you tick the "no" box.

This proposition states that the people of blah blah do not wish to refuse the rights of non-immigrants who are not residents of said state from not being able to refuse the application of ... yada yada yada
There are so many damned negative inflections it gets confusing.

They're a pain! A Google usually finds someone who's done a bit of groundwork on them. I used this one to save me some time on the AZ ones.

Proposition that people want but government dont has the "Tax increase" part or wage increase for Government built in.
Proposition that people don't want but government do has the "Tax Cut" part in as a sweetner.
Example in a Republican state would be " Ban gay marriage" with "pensions for senators increased by 10%".

I did, I found nothing, in fact to the contrary, there is a clicky link where you can email the letter to all and sundry.

Funnily enough one of my friends who is a silly little bitch voted republican in the election because she thought it would be good for her (her employer was eli lilly and she was a drug rep)
what she was too stupid to realise is that
1. she moves jobs every 6 months and therefore would not be impacted
2. she makes 40k a year and thats not the income bracket that the republicans favour
3. it will take more than a change in party for the pharma industry to lose out in any substantial way
The even stupider thing is that after a friend 'outed' her as a repub voter at a gathering, she got extremely defensive and irate....

Even a dying party has death throes. If Democrats win a slight majority in the House or Senate, Americans will get shrill, insane leadership of the nation in time of war.
Democrats can't not be crazy. They will instantly set to work enacting a national gay marriage law, impeachment hearings, slavery reparations and a series of new federal felonies for abortion clinic protesters. The only way to get Democrats to focus on terrorists would be to convince them that the terrorists are interfering with a woman's right to choose or that commercial jetliners exploding in midair are a threat to America's wetlands.
The probable new House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, is in a catfight with Rep. Jane Harman for not being insane enough. Pelosi has indicated she will deny Harman the chairmanship of the Intelligence Committee, instead giving it to Rep. Alcee Hastings, whom Pelosi voted to impeach from his federal judgeship in 1988 for conspiring to extract a $150,000 bribe from convicted criminals in return for lowering their sentences.
An O.J. jury had acquitted Hastings on the bribery charge in a criminal proceeding, though his alleged co-conspirator, attorney William Borders, was convicted.
But the evidence of Hastings' bribery plot was so overwhelming that a Democratic House voted to impeach Hastings 413-3 on 17 separate counts — including falsifying evidence to win his acquittal in the criminal case, and a majority Democratic Senate voted to convict Hastings on the very first count by 69-26, enough to remove him from office.
Rep. John Conyers Jr. — another finalist for the coveted "craziest Democrat in congress" title — led the charge for Hastings' impeachment, saying the judge had "betrayed his office."
In addition to having a history of soliciting bribes from criminals before his court, Hastings wants to shut down Guantanamo, and he adamantly opposes the U.S. government listening to phone calls from al-Qaida phones to anyone in America (especially federal judges negotiating bribery deals by telephone).
As millions of lunatic Muslims plot to murder Americans, some Americans — we call them "Soccer Moms" — will cast a vote to save Michael J. Fox this year. In the process, they will put all Americans at risk by voting for a frivolous, dying party.
