There's an election next month.  You did know that, right?  Good, because you need to go to the polls and vote against Ed Lee.

In less than two weeks, San Franciscans must once again elect a mayor and other officers, as well as the usual horde of initiatives. Those of you who don't live and vote in San Francisco can just tune this one out.  If you're voting in SF, though, please read through for my recommendations on who to vote for and who not to.

On Tuesday, all Californians will be asked to vote in a special election to "save California's budget".  Didn't notice there was an election, did you?  Well, don't forget to vote.  It's easy: just vote "no" on everything.

The incompetents in our state government are asking us to destroy early childcare, slash public mental heath, decimate K-14 education, raise sales tax, and increase the state's dependence on legalized gambling.  And put money in a "rainy-day fund" despite having no money to spare. (more)

And you know how Don is using the millions he's made off those wines?  Funding California Proposition 4, which would deny teens access to abortions without parental permission.  Even if the parents were responsible for the pregnancy in the first place (yes, incest still happens, even in CA).

First of all, voter registration deadline in most states is Monday, so get moving and get yourself registered.
