Folks,
I accidentally posted a private message to the list yesterday and I do apologize. Each CC
should
state their preference, whether privately or openly. As poll taker, I am indeed honor
bound to
remain neutral and have vowed to do so. As a CC, I also feel an obligation to vote.
Since my
statement yesterday could be taken as endorsing one proposal above the other, I want to
make my vote
known to all so there will be no question.
I vote:
#1. Yes
#2. Yes
This poll is NOT a vote for the final decision but, as indicated, it is a poll to
determine if the
question will be placed on the national ballot in July. At that time, if either or both
amendments
are placed on the ballot, we can then discuss the merits and make our individual choices.
Obviously
both will not be adopted but every CC in the country will have had an opportunity to vote
as they
see fit.
I urge each of you in the remaining days to vote honestly whether you wish to see both on
the
national ballot or whether you wish the state to sponsor one but not the other, or whether
you wish
the state not to co-sponsor either.
Nola
