What Else was at stake?
President Bush officially won a narrow re-election and Republicans picked up seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate, with greater potential gains in Florida and Alaska. It should not be the owner of the shares of bad news, but the coordination of initiatives and changes across the country amount to an overwhelming against the flood of progressive causes and a powerful wave of conservative activism has swept its way through the red and blue, blue and even U.S. cities.
There are a few victories, ok, but above all that this vote shows the measures and changes, is a country deeply hostile towards gay marriage and civil unions, immigrants rights, rights of the abortion, reform of the prison, and better access to health care. So here’s heruntergekommenen “good and evil and wicked” as a reminder that more was at stake last night, when the presidency. In the interest of optimism, we start with the bad and ugly.
CA Progressive lost in a number of important measures, the ballots Governor Schwarzenegger aggressive struggled to overcome. Proposition 66, amended by law, be sentenced to life imprisonment, if a person, a third crime is that violence or serious could reform the archaic “three strikes and you’re that “Barely lost. Proposition 72, corporations, necessary for health insurance of employees, was also defeated. The governor and former Body Builder has been above mood last night:
“That’s what I like about the choice of the day. Indeed, if people flex their muscles, then the state gets much stronger. And tonight, they have their embassy.
Illegal immigrants were also big loser last night. Voters in Arizona passed Proposition 200, would deny services to illegal immigrants government employees and require a report on the law, workers are not documented on the authorities. The conservatives argue that the state saves money and send a message that illegal immigrants are not welcome. On the “yes” to Proposition 200 party, “JT Ready, a campaign volunteer, which covers much of south-west of the evaluation nativistische conservatives:
“This is a message to send to radiation, the federal government. Citizens are sick of them turning their heads to illegal immigration.”
The proposal has been widespread criticism by Democratic Governor Janet Napolitano on Republican Senator John McCain. But in a campaign, invited voters to “something white on illegal immigration,” politics of fear and ignorance hinweggefegt more than the presidential elections.
Unfortunately, Arizona was not the only country to adopt an anti-immigrant legislation. Furthermore, in San Francisco a lot of people have voted against “illegal” of the voting rights of immigrant parents to school local elections. Although the measure is not more closely in the choice, it is telling that in a city, supports Kerry, Senator Barbara Boxer, Congress Woman Nancy Pelosi, with more than 80 percent of the vote, a fundamental right to vote for these parents. It is ugly, if Beat progressive initiatives in our own backyard.
