Issue 4...even though I can't vote due to me moving and missing the voter registration deadline...But I would have chosen yes on issue 4 because I think its wrong if you ban all puclib areas...I man or women doesn't go to a bar or a club to smoke?  That what I mean...I don't smoke but I think its affecting the ones who do smoke freedom.

83:  Yes, although I STILL feel a little torn voting yes, because there are some forseeable problems with this prop, especially the fact that it affects ALL "sex offenders" including people who are caught peeing on the side of the road...those type of mild instances where people have "technically" committed a sex crime makes this prop unfair, but I think the good it will do outweighs the negatives.  I hate molesters, rapists, abusers, etc. so I will vote yes.\n\n84:  YES...clean water???  Hell yes!\n\n85:  NO NO NO!  I am most passionate about this prop.  I'm disappointed to see people voting yes.  By voting yes on this you endanger the small majority of girls who cannot tell their parents because of an abusive home life.  Physical and sexual abuse do occur in homes, and if a girl gets pregnant and doesn't want to tell her parents about the abortion she has GOOD reason for it, usually to protect herself.  Studies show over 60% of girls already tell one or both parents.  If you have good communication and a loving relationship with your child you shouldn't have to vote yes on this to ensure they tell you.  Also, this prop is just a small step that the pro-life side is taking towards getting abortion outlawed alltogether.  It is a slippery slope!  Please vote no.  :(\n\n86:  Yes, I think the money used from the cigarette tax will go to really good things.\n\n87:  Yes.  Save our planet!\n\n88:  No, many schools don't even qualify for the money they claim will be designated to them.  Its a never-ending property tax...yikes.\n\n89:  Yes.\n\n90:  No, it sounds good in theory, but there's a lot of problems with this particular prop.\n\nHappy voting!

It was a Democratic landslide in Ohio. Yahoo!!! Ohio is blue.\nWe kicked all the bums out. Now we got a whole new group of bums. :-)

There are a number of controversial propositions that need attention.  I hope to defeat some and support some.  I also want to give my vote to some worthy candidates.\n\nWhat did you hope to accomplish with your vote?

Ultimately, I think this is a non-partisan issue.  \n\nPreserving societal morals is a human question, not a Republican one.  \n\nTaking the vote to the states, is a good start, and wholly supported Constitutionally, under the 10th Amendment.

Mmmm... CENTRIST POLITICAL PARTY!\n\n"For example, I'm very much opposed to abortion, but I'm a strong believer in environmental protection."\nYeah, I'm pretty much anti-abortion. Environmental protection... how far are your beliefs? Because I'm okay with some aspects of that, but I have my limits.\n\n"I'm against high taxes, but I believe in staying out of wars whenever possible."\nEh, I'll agree with your view of high taxes (and of course pork-barrel spending). I'm not an isolationist, however.\n\n"I'm an atheist, but I have no problem with public displays of religious symbols or prayer in schools."\nWell good for you! Seriously, "atheist fundamentalists" are somewhere on my Top 10 groups of people thet annoy the hell out of me, and you aren't one of them.\n\n"I think both political parties have good ideas, and I have no problem taking the best ones from each of them."\nDude, I like the way you think (well, about this anyway)! Good luck!

Real issues. Party matters not at all. As for morals/values. I wouldn't trust any politician to try to tell me about morals. If I'm voting on the morals they stand for, I want nothing to do with it.

I can only name one that I'm aware of, Diebold.  They're based in Ohio I believe and have been in the news quite a bit.  There has been speculation about their machines in the 2004 election and the proper counting of votes.  Should be lots of articles out there on it.

We need everyone to vote. Democrat or Republican, Conservative or Liberal, and everyone in between.\n\nEDIT - I guess I should have caught the whole Wednesday thing. Sadly this has been tried before (2004 elections in Ohio).

I vote for the lesser of two evils. It is such a shame that every serios issue in this country and the world is overshawdowed by "Democrat vs Republican".\n\nWHO CARES WHAT POLITCAL PARTY YOU ARE! Vote for the right choice. There's alot more views in this country than just two of them. This country wasn't even founded by a "Democrat" or "Republican"

Contact your local republican county committee.\n\nrfrost@cuyahogacountygop.com\n\n\nVote Democrat.

I don't vote for the party and I don't vote for "the person".  I vote for the issues.  If I don't know how a candidate stands, I have a phone, I can call and ask.  People who don't care enough to do a little research should lose their vote.

I vote for the candidates that stand for what is right... regardless pf party.  We've all been burned by candidates from every party.  Make sure you don't vote by party, and vote by position.

What?\nWho is endorsing what?\nAlthough abortion is a big issue, I would vote on a candidate's entire record, not just on one issue.

If you want to get people's attention and/or probably make some of them mad, you should do a speech on the "wedge" issues (as Lou Dobbs calls them) between Republicans and Democrats, environmental issues, lowering the drinking age, abortion, foreign policy, drugs legal/illegal. Another thing is to find an issue that is at least semi-interesting within your local/state community, like something in the news perhaps, or an on going problem, or why to outlaw something, or make something into a law.

while you are speaking one thing...voting on individual issues...I am hearing another issue...money.  Take from the rich and give to the poor.  yadayada.  I vote on an issue as well.  I almost always vote republican, because I could never vote for someone who can endorse killing innocent life.  Yes, abortion is my key issue.  I'm really not worried about the money thing and poor me.  If I want to be rich and well, I do, then it's up to me and no one else to get the job done.  If you are really that concerned about money, those of you who are, then quit whining and do something about it.  You have just as much right in this country as anyone else to make your fortune.  Study, learn from people who came out of poverty to be self made millionaires.  It's doesn't need to be a question of eating verses saving.  That's just making excuses.  And no, I'm no where near rich.  As a matter of fact, my husband just got layed off.  Fortunately, we are making our own way and not counting on any government agency to do it for us with hand outs.  We are a democracy here.  If someone earns it, then it should be theirs to keep.  Distribution of wealty my eye.  If you were the one with the wealth I have a feeling you would not be agreeing with your own words.  \nEveryone votes on some type of issue.  Whether it be money, abortion, or safety.
