I am a little sick and tired of hearing about indian gaming and out of state gambling interest. If fact the people who supported prop.68 yesterday decided to stop the commercials, because they were confusing the voters. I would guess that one out of every three commercials deals with gaming interest. It's a great way to deceive people who focus on the commercial and not on the facts(that one has to research). My advise to all the voters is to carefully read the fine print at the end of the commercials either supporting or against a certain proposition. You will always find the people supporting the ad or if you can't read or catch the fine print, you can always, at least see one of the supporters and investigate their motivation (example, an ad supported by the league of women voters).

Regarding prop. 66 and the three strikes law, I am concern with the high number of felons who will be let go if this prop. passes. In fact, I heard a debate on 97.1 Conway and Steckler show when the spokesman for the proposition debated a district attorney (I guess Orange County) on the number of people who will be free and the acts that would change the law. Don't get me wrong people who steal a dvd three times should not go to jail for a long time, but people who have commited 1 or 2 serious crimes(rape,assault) and later steal a video should indeed be given a long sentence.
I think we should look closely at the proposition since every prosecutor in the state whether they are Democrats or Republicans are all against this proposition.
