No on Prop 100

Dear Readers,

About 2 months ago, if you had asked me how I was going to vote on Proposition 100, I would have told you that I was going to vote yes. (Prop 100 is going to increase the Arizona sales tax by 1% for a few years. The extra funding from the increased tax is supposed to go to law enforcement and schools.) 2 months ago I was a teacher, possibly kind of sort of planning on being a teacher forever. And I’ve seen first hand how it would be nice to have smaller class sizes and better salaries for Arizona teachers. And about 2 months ago I had a conversation with a police officer friend of mine who told me about how badly Arizonans needed to pass prop 100 or else some of his police officer buddies might get laid off.

But then I went to a Tea Party on April 15th, and there was a guy there with a sign that said, “Vote No on Prop 100.” He came up to me and read my sign, and made a nice comment about it. (That’s how a lot of conversations start at tea parties, by the way. You read each other’s signs. It’s great fun.)

And then I said, “I’m not so sure I agree with your sign.”

And then he screamed, “Then you’re a Nazi!” and then he started punching me!

Just kidding ha ha ha. Tea partiers are peaceful, remember?

What really happened is he said, “You’re not sure about prop 100? Oh, well, that’s OK.” And then he moved along. He was hardly the violent/racist/bigoted type the media portrays the tea-partiers to be.

Anywho… that brief encounter got me thinking about Proposition 100, and I read a little bit about it… and I got laid off from teaching… and I really didn’t really like teaching anyway… and I witnessed a lot of waste going on in public schools… and I gradually changed my mind and so now I proclaim to the world:

Vote no on Proposition 100!

The official voting day is May 18th, but you can vote now if you mail in an early ballot.

Maybe I’ll give you more of my reasons for voting no on prop 100 later – I do have a lot of good ones - but for now I’ll just add more stupid propaganda to the world using flashy fonts and colors and slogans


Vote no on Prop 100!
It’s for the future!

Vote no on Prop 100!
It’s for the children!

Promote Prosperity!
Vote No on Prop 100

Vote No on Prop 100
It’s for America!

Give Patriotism a Helping Hand
Vote No on Prop 100

Sincerely,
