This is a blatantly political post for the California people.

If you love democracy and want to stick your thumb in the eye of the political parties that waste millions of taxpayer dollars on primary elections that only serve to benefit these PRIVATE organizations, then I want to encourage you to vote against Prop. 60 and FOR Prop. 62.

Prop. 62 would give California an open primary, where any candidates that wants to run for office can throw their hat in the same ring, and only the top two vote getters - regardless of political party - will end up on the ballot in November. The voters get to choose candidates regardless of their registered political party - heck, the whole concept of a registered political party becomes moot. The measure is backed by Republicans and Democrats who want change, like Leon Panetta, Steve Westley, Dick Riorden and Arnold.

Prop. 60 was created by the legislature to counter Prop. 62. It basically would re-affirm the status quo, where we, the taxpayers, will continue to fund pointless primary elections that only benefit political parties, which are PRIVATE organizations. If you want change, you must vote NO on Prop. 60.

Thanks for your time.
