I understand the need for better public education about the proposals. There were two on my ballot of which no one I knew had been aware, and we were kind of pissed about it. Howevs, a quick glance at the bottom of the ballot - the handy dandy "explanation of the proposals" section - filled us in on what it was were were voting on. (That is, those of us who didn't abstain from voting because we had no fecking idea what we were voting for.) Was the ballot in California really that confusing?
How many no on prop 8 ads had people of color in them. Um, people of color aren't stupid. Do you really think all of those people voted "YES" on Prop. 8 because they saw a "Vote NO on Prop. 8" commercial with no people of color in it and thought, that can't possibly be aimed towards me! I should vote the other way.
