If the California election is so "quiet", explain the mountain of campaign literature on our table.

Our I just finished ripping up enough campaign literature to fill an entire mailbox. And they were all for the myriad California and San Francisco ballot proposals, for and against. I saw only two that actually advocated voting for an actual human being. So, if you think we have it easy in the Golden State, please think again.

Plus we still get flyers addressed to our son, who hasn't lived here in the last 25 years, and to our daughter, who has never lived at this address,

We do get ads for real people but it does seem as though there's a lot money being spent trying to defeat the propositions 45-48.

BTW, they're all wasting their money sending this crap to us. We mailed in our ballots 2 weeks ago.
