Prop 10 first - California Alternative Fuels Initiative and Prop 8 - Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry Act
Prop 10 -- This plan sounds great, but it actually is a very unfair attempt at helping our planet.
The initiative authorizes $5 billion in bonds paid from state’s General Fund, allocated approximately as follows:
- 58% in cash payments of between $2,000 and $50,000 to purchasers of certain high fuel economy and alternative fuel vehicles;
- 20% in incentives for research, development and production of renewable energy technology;
- 11% in incentives for research and development of alternative fuel vehicle technology;
- 5% in incentives for purchase of renewable energy technology;
- 4% in grants to eight cities for education about these technologies; and
- 3% in grants to colleges to train students in these technologies.
The prop authorizes $5billion of state bond (plus interest!) to be distributed to people to purchase natural gas cars. It only benefits natural gas companies, who are the same companies who paid to get this proposition on the ballot. Don't feel fooled! Vote no on 10!

On to Prop 8 - Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry Act
NO on 8! No on 8!No on 8! It's simple, 8 is fucked up! Prop 8 takes away the right to marriage for lesbian and gay couples in California. Lesbian women and gay men have every right as heterosexual people to marry. Human beings are BORN gay, bisexual, lesbian, intersex, or transgender. Christian right-wing crazies - you can't change a person's sexuality! Just 70 years ago, it was wrong to have interracial marriages, especially with Whites. This is the same struggle except the LGBTQI movement hasn't gained attention until now because of backlash and stigma. If you find out that your child is gay, would you deny their right to marry the person he loves? I hope not!
