Gearing Up

Filed Under Election 2005 

As a student of government and public policy, this is an exciting time for me.

With the 2005 California Special Election less than a month away, politics is increasingly becoming the talk of the town. I love it! ;-)

Over the coming weeks, I will profile each proposition (8 in total) and either recommend or not recommend each proposition.

I have added the California’s Voter Information Guide link under the Political Participation section (located in the right side bar). At the very least, visit the Voter Information Guide and read the summary of each proposition.

Also, start talking about the propositions with your family, friends and others about what each proposition means to you.

Just yesterday, California Connected featured a “Kid Review Bills” segment where “high school debate students [were asked] to dissect [Proposition 76, "Live Within Our Means Act"] and tell us how they would vote, if only they could.” It’s an excellent segment and it highlights how some research and discussion can go a long way.

Stay tuned! :-D

    Hey Josh, good to see that you’re still alive although AU isn’t. Get back to me if you can.

    This weekend, I will post which propositions warrant your vote and which ones don’t.
