Thanks to Arnold and the Democrats, your rights of political freedom have ended in California.
Prop.14 ends write in candidates for the November general election.
"Do write-in candidates really matter? Look no further than Lisa Murkowski, who was just re-elected to the U.S. Senate from Alaska -- as a write-in candidate. SB 6 explicitly states that all write-in votes cast "at the general election ... shall not be counted." Thus, SB 6 would have robbed Senator Murkowski of her hard fought victory, because all votes cast for her would have been thrown away. Here in California, write-in candidate Donna Frye nearly won the San Diego mayoral election in 2004.
Why should we care about minor-party candidates? Think caffeine. Like it or not, the Tea Party has already made its mark on American politics. Until last year, Tea Party and other minor-party candidates were allowed to describe themselves on the ballot as "Independent". But once SB 6 kicks in, candidates from every minor (i.e., non-state-recognized) party will be foisted with the ballot label of "No Party Preference". By illegally forcing candidates to make misleading statements on the ballot, SB 6 will do voters a grave disservice."
Is this reform or corruption? Prop. 14 stops people from running for office--that is what Castro and Chavez do. Reform allows more people to run--that is what freedom is about.
Thanks to Arnold, the Democrats and their misleading spending of millions, the voters have less choice for partisan elected officials--Hugo and Fidel must be proud of Arnold.
