Hello freedom lovers,
I’ve finally finished writing up blurbs for each of our ballot measure recommendations, to publish on our website (see attached document).
For the three propositions on which we are the official opponent (Props. A, H and I), I’ve also included links to our official arguments online at the Department of Elections website, so people can read additional takes from us there. As well as some links documenting various other points I’ve made in the blurbs.
No doubt there’s much more that could be said about each of them, and I wish we had also done a full vetting of candidates such that we could provide some detailed rationales for our recommendations in several races, but for that we simply need more folks willing to step up and volunteer to help with the process.
Early voting has already begun, so I’d like to get these up online as soon as possible, but I’ll wait at least 24 hours to give folks a chance to look them over. You can help us by taking a few minutes to do so, and letting me know if there’s anything you think should be added, subtracted, or expressed differently.
Love & Liberty,

P.S. – Being the official opponent on some of the measures continues to yield visibility in the media. I got another contact from a reporter at the San Francisco Examiner who’s doing a story on Proposition A, the school bond measure, and will hopefully be interviewed by her on Monday!

Oops, I forgot in my previous message to mention Prop. C. Please ignore the incomplete entry on that measure in the document. As I posted a couple weeks ago to this list, I started writing it up, and while researching and thinking about it, came to the conclusion that we were mistaken in taking no position on it (thanks in part no doubt to my own previous sense that it was worth supporting), and decided to try to get us to revise that recommendation.
Unfortunately in the rush of hearing from candidates at our last meeting I forgot about it, so am now trying to coordinate with the other officers to have an officer meeting (the process which our bylaws allow us to make decisions between regular monthly meetings) to accomplish this.
As always, your thoughts and input welcome! And for the officers, I’ve already emailed you separately, but please let me know ASAP when you can meet.
Love & Liberty,
