Should progressives support Jerry Brown's tax initiative, Prop. 30? Why are some death row prisoners opposed to repealing the death penalty (Prop. 34)? Shouldn't everyone be supporting the anti- Human Trafficking proposition (Prop. 35)? Requiring genetically engineered foods to be labelled (Prop. 37) is simply obvious, right?
