Here they are:
Proposition 1: Against. We don't need another government agency with the power to borrow money and give it to private companies.
Proposition 2: Against. If the purpose of the proposed amendment is to defend the sanctity of marriage, that purpose would be better served by state laws addressing the high incidences of divorce, adultery, and family violence that occur within traditional marriage between a man and a woman and that are more damaging to the institution of marriage, the welfare of children, and the stability of society, than same-sex marriages.
It isn't just gays that must mobilize against Proposition # 2. Bear this in mind:
Pastor Niemoller (a protestant minister from Germany) wrote:
"In Nazi Germany they first came for the Communists and the Jehovah's Witnesses,
But I was not a Communist or a Jehovah's Witness so I did not speak up.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak up.
Then they came for the Catholics, but I was not a Catholic so I did not speak up.
Then they came for the trade unionists, but I was not a trade unionist so I did not speak up.
Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."
Proposition 3: Against. We must rein in "economic development grants" which can become little more than unpoliced giveaways to the politically connected.
Proposition 4: For. If you violate bail once, you shouldn't get it again.
Proposition 5: For. Commercial borrowers are big boys; they don't need the Legislature to protect them from themselves.
Proposition 6: For. Increased public oversight of the judiciary is just fine with me.
Proposition 7: For. If Grandma wants to borrow money, why should the state get in her way?
Proposition 8: Abstain. I don't even know, off the top of my head, where in the hell Smith or Upshur Counties are.
Proposition 9: Against. Longer terms for mobility board members would only make them even less accountable to the public than they currently are.
