Signal should have backed Prop. 2
Shame on the editorial board of The Signal for recommending a No vote on Proposition 2, a measure that, if passed, will improve the living conditions of millions of chickens, calves and pigs on factory farms in California.
Obama sign defaced, too
In response to the statement that some intolerant liberal stole your McCain and Yes on 8 signs, I had my Obama sign defaced and then stolen earlier this summer.
Vote yes on Prop. 2
I was appalled to read that The Signal opposes Prop 2. After all, it is only asking that farmers and ranchers give a little more room to chickens that live their whole lives crowded together in small cages. Chickens' "whole life" really just lasts about 1.5 years due to the lack of movement and the continuous amount of eggs that they are forced to give. Their bones weaken so much that they can't even stand ...

Back Lutness for Assembly
Cast an informed vote, not a "party" vote. We don't owe political parties our loyalty. They owe us. They owe us better candidates and better government. They owe us leadership. Carole Lutness, a dynamic challenger for the 38th Assembly seat, is our opportunity to restore honor to our state government. The Web site www.VoteSmart.org shows that the incumbent received an "F" from environmental and health-care organizations, consumer protection agencies, labor advocates, public transportation and women's ...

Ten reasons to vote no on Measure SA bond
Ten reasons to vote "no" on the $300 million Measure SA bond: 1. It's $300 million plus $158 million from Measure V plus interest for 40 years. 2. It is double taxation, triple taxation if you pay a Mello-Roos School Tax. 3. Two bonds were defeated before Measure V. It took a change in the law lowering the vote to 55 percent for Measure V to pass. This $300 million SA bond only requires a ...
