Voter X
Thanks to Nica, her amazing roommates, and Music for America, I will be this year, the best-informed voter I've ever been... Nica assigned to each of us one proposition or ballot initiative to research, and we'd go 'round talking to one another to get the 411/ pros/ cons/ who/ what/ where/ when & $$$ figures on the various measures. It was truly inspiring to see all the enthusiasm, passion and research people put into their issue. Some were no brainers; others were more difficult... more thoughts to come, but in the meantime, here are pictures...(I was a little too distracted to concentrate on taking good ones -- the colours are definitely out of whack but, it's late, it's been a full evening, and I prolly won't have time during the day to do this, so here they are...)
