Not Voting Is The Same As Voting For Everything You Hate

Even though I've been a consistent voter for nearly 3 decades, I, like others, often feel  that not voting is just a lack of a positive.

But see how not voting turns into an active opposition to yourself.

I'm going to use some information from the pro Proposition 8 people first, but I  imagine they could get this fact correct.

Their ad says that 4 judges blocked the will of 4 million voters.

So apparently less than 8 million voters voted in California in 2000 when the bill for the anti same-sex marriage passed.

Checking around I found that 12 million Californian voters voted in the 2004 election, 16 million were register by 2006, and this year over 17 million voters are registered in California.

I still have a link available for the last fact.  Find it here.

  

So, if California polls haven't been swollen by millions illegally, in 2000, less than 1/4 of possible Californian voters passed the ban on same sex marriage that the Gavin Newsom ad talks about.

Most of the rest of eligible Californians voted for the ban by not voting.

This year the Christian groups which want to increase their political power by getting the amendment passed have made sure their followers know this.

Please make sure that your friends and loved ones know it, too.
