Californians, remember to vote NO on 58, the free ride for corporations
58 will result in the balancing of future budgets through cuts in education, health services and other areas where money is needed. Under 58, the super-rich don't ever have to pay their fair share because the balancing will come from cuts.

3. I support 56
It will make it easier to pass the state budget each year. Now, the minority can hold out and demand freebies for their district to get their vote. It leads to much more pork than needed.

2. I have to vote for 57
(I work at a school district, and they've predicted dire things to our jobs if it doesn't pass) but I'm not voting for 58. I *am* voting for 56 so that we don't have to kow-tow to cheap Repug interests every time we try to get a budget passed!

7. 57 only goes into effect
if 58 is also passed. I can't support either with good conscience, but will vote yes on 56.

5. I will be voting yes on 57 and 58.
Both need to pass for either to go into effect. My job as well as my wife’s could be in jeopardy without it.
