К выборам!!!

Дорогие граждане города Сакраменто и близ лежащих городов! Моя цель донести информацию о предстоящих выборах, а также о кандидатах, которые баллотируются в местные, штатные и федеральные органы власти, чтобы Вы были осведомлены о каждом из них и 2го ноября сделали информированный выбор для себя. Организация Preserve Liberty проделала огромную работу опросив в письменном виде всех кандидатов по интересующим нам вопросам. В основном это были вопросы этики, морали, образования и сохранения наших религиозных и гражданских свобод. Всем кандидатам был дан месячный срок, чтобы ответить на эти вопросы. Так как многие понимали, что письменные ответы обрекают их на ответственность за свои слова, некоторые решили не отвечать на них вообще, чтобы либо не оттолкнуть от себя несведущего избирателя, либо не компрометировать себя перед либеральными спонсорами. Все собранные ответы были отсортированы и размещены в виде таблицы, которая находится по этой ссылке. www.preserveliberty.com
Таблица была также переведена на русский язык. В настоящее время мы ищем волонтеров, которые смогли бы распечатать ее и распространить в своих церквах, на работах или в колледже. Если у Вас есть такая возможность, пожалуйста позвоните по телефону (916)616-5563. Среди нас есть пожилые люди, у которых нет доступа к интернету. Давайте поможем им!!!

Внимание: Кандидат на вице губернатора, которого нет в вашем списке-Lieutenant Governor Karen Barton England Ee имя нужно будет вписать от руки в строке Lieutenant Governor write in.

McClintock on the Propositions

Prop 19: When Worlds Collide. NO. If this simply allowed people to cultivate and smoke marijuana themselves and left the rest of us alone, it would be worth considering. But it goes much further and provides that "no person shall be discriminated against or denied any right or privilege" for pot use, inviting a lawsuit every time an employer tries to require a drug test, for example. If you want to smoke pot in your own world, I don't care. But don't bring it into mine.

Prop 20: Congressional Redistricting. YES. This finishes the work we began in 2008 to get redistricting decisions away from self-interested state legislators and into the hands of a bi-partisan commission. The original reform omitted Congressional districts – this simply adds them.

Prop 21: Highway Robbery. NO. Right now, state park users pay a nominal fee that helps pay for upkeep, assuring that those who use our state parks help pay for them. This measure ends the day-user fee and shifts the cost to the rest of us by imposing an $18 per car tax increase whether we use the parks or not. Stealing money from highway travelers used to be called "highway robbery." Now it's called "Proposition 21."

Prop 22: Hands Off Our Money. YES. This takes a giant leap toward restoring local government independence and protecting our transportation taxes by prohibiting state raids on local and transportation funds. Local governments are hardly paragons of virtue, but local tax revenues should remain local.

Prop 23: Liberation from the Environmental Left. YES. In 2006, Sacramento's rocket-scientists enacted AB 32, imposing draconian restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions (yes, that's the stuff you exhale). They promised to save the planet from "global warming" and open a cornucopia of new jobs. Since then, California's unemployment rate has shot far beyond the national unemployment rate and the earth has continued to warm and cool as it has for billions of years. Prop 23 merely holds the Environmental Left to its promise: it suspends AB 32 until unemployment stabilizes at or below its pre-AB 32 level.

Prop 24: Because Taxes Just Aren't High Enough. NO. This is a predictable entry by the public employee unions to impose an additional $1.7 billion tax on businesses. The problem, of course, is that businesses don't pay business taxes – we do. Business taxes can only be paid in three ways: by us as consumers (through higher prices), by us as employees (through lower wages) and by us as investors (through lower earnings on our 401(k)'s).

Prop 25: Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire. NO. This changes the 2/3 vote requirement for the state budget to a simple majority – a reform I have long supported. Experience has shown that the current 2/3 vote requirement for the budget does not restrain spending and it utterly blurs accountability. But such a reform MUST repair the 2/3 vote requirement for all tax increases and restore constitutional spending and borrowing limits. Without these provisions, Prop. 25 would be a disaster for taxpayers and a recipe for bankruptcy.

Prop 26: Calling a Tax a Tax. YES. Under the infamous Sinclair Paint decision, virtually any tax may be increased by majority vote as long as it is called a "fee," gutting the 2/3 vote requirement in the state constitution to raise taxes. Prop. 26 rescinds Sinclair Paint, restores the Constitution, and calls a tax a tax.

Prop 27: OMG. NO. Want to go back to the days when politicians drew their own district lines, literally choosing their own voters? This will get us there.

Election 2010: VOTE NO - 3 California Supreme Court Candidates by Craig Huey www.ElectionForum.org

Мы отвергаем всех трех кандидатов на пост судьи по следующим причинам:все три кандидата голосовали против традиционного брака, за аборты,противродительского оповещения, когда их несовершеннолетним дочерям предлагают аборты, за ущемление прав собственника и бизнесмена.

One of the most overlooked—yet important—votes you will cast this November. On the November 2 ballot, you will be voting for 3 California Supreme Court candidates. You will be asked to vote “yes” or “no.”

California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ron George, who spearheaded denying Californians their choice in voting for traditional marriage, ran from this race in light of his disregard for the voters. So, a new candidate, Tani Cantil-Sakauye, is running for Chief Justice.

The California Supreme Court has enormous power…and your vote is vital in directing the future of very important decisions impacting every Californian both now and for generations to come.

Here is a brief analysis. For more specific information, see our website ElectionForum.org. You’ll get the truth from a Christian perspective.

Associate Justice Carlos Moreno

Justice Moreno has been on the Court since 2001, appointed by former Governor Gray Davis. He votes are very liberal. His favorite Supreme Court Judge is liberal David Souter. Moreno was on Obama’s short list for replacing Souter. He was recommended by Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Moreno not only voted in the 4-3 decision to overturn traditional marriage with Proposition 23, he was the only “NO” vote in the 6-1 decision that agreed Proposition 8 vote was constitutional. In the past, he has voted against parental consent, against religious rights and against business.

Ming William Chin

Ming William Chin was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1996 by Gov. Pete Wilson. Since he’s been on the bench, he has voted to overturn parental consent, consistent with his pro-abortion views. He shot down Governor Wilson’s attempt to privatize highway jobs.

He voted against Christian contentious objections and for trampling religious liberty. He did vote in favor of traditional marriage and voted to uphold California’s anti-affirmative action law. Despite a few good votes, he holds a liberal social stands and inconsistency on business/property rights issue.

Tani Cantil-Sakauye

Governor Schwarzenegger, Jerry Brown and Ron George as a committee approved the appointment to the Court of Tani Cantil-Sakauye as our new California Supreme Court Chief Justice.

She is 50 years old and an active member of the Japanese United Methodist Church in Sacramento, a church with a liberal pastor. She is considered a “moderate” Republican, leaning liberal on social issues. The liberal Sandra Day O’Connor was her favorite Supreme Court judge. When the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage, she performed a same-sex marriage.

In cases brought before her, she has sided with the nurses union over legitimate cost concerns regarding school district positions, and, she was soft on a teen’s violent treatment to a girlfriend.

She did uphold California’s prohibition against affirmative action and religious free speech. Her point of view is a mixed bag; she has not demonstrated a dependable, consistent, philosophical position.
