Thank you, Sis. Liberty for posting this. The issues being addressed state wide this election are very important and shouldn't be lost in the shadow of the drama created by Trump and Clinton. We should keep this thread on top.

You're welcome Queenie.

There are resources one can use to prepare yourself in advance on the local issues in your particular area. I am going to try Ballotpedia.org this year. They supposedly give you a sample ballot of all the measures, issues and candidates for your address, etc.
