California Green Party opposes all ballot propositions

May 8th, 2009 · written by · 17 Comments

A set of proposals will be voted on soon in California. The propositions will be decided in a May 19th ballot, and the Green Party in California is panning them all.

NewsBlaze.com reports that the California Nurses Association, which supported Ralph Nader in his Green Party backed 2000 run, has also voted to recommend against voters passing the proposals.

From the article:

The Green Party of California today – after polling its members and county councils statewide for the past month – strongly urged state voters to vote “no” on all propositions on the May 19 special ballot, calling the plan a “rotten deal.”

    I am not really that surprised. The Peace and Freedom Party did the same thing: http://peaceandfreedom.org/home/articles/partisan-number-27/497-may-19-2009-special-election-peace-and-freedom-party-recommends

    1F seems to be the point of disagreement. Some say “it is the only good one so lets vote for it.” Others say “repudiate the whole mess they put on the ballot.”

    Not counting 1F this means the Greens, the Libertarians, and the Republicans are in agreement.

    I don’t live in California, but I would vote no on all the propositions.

    The LPCA endorsed 1F without debate on the recommendation of the Legislative Analysis Committee, but frankly, 1F doesn’t do much beyond symbolism anyway. The fiscal impact is minute.

    In my opinion, I am kind of surprised not to see a Repeal Prop 8 initiative on the ballot.

    TPR, that’s in signature gathering at the moment for the November ballot.

    actually I was referring to the random list that #10 made.

  • 14 Michael Seebeck // May 11, 2009 at 4:17 pm

    Actually, I was responding to #9. :)

    Please be frosty.
