I’ve been a proud member of the San Francisco League of Pissed Off Voters (AKA the League of Young Voters) since we were doing bus trips to Reno and Vegas back in 2004. We’ve made voter guides for the last six elections. We print up thousands of them and hit the streets to spread the word. Here’s our mission statement:

We are a national organization that works in key cities and states to make politics relevant, fun, and meaningful to young people. We meet young people where they are, work on issues that affect their lives, and provide tools and training to make them viable players and winners in the political game.

See below the jump for our endorsements on the February ballot. See the complete guide at theballot.org/2008/sf, including a beautiful printable PDF.

Democratic Primary: No consensus. Barack just missed the 66% threshold. But if several of our members weren’t scattered around the country working or volunteering on his campaign, he would’ve gotten it. Also we voted before Kucinich and Edwards dropped out. Dennis just nosed out Edwards for second place, and Gravel beat Hillary for fourth.

Green Primary: Cynthia McKinney – She’s a rarity: a true radical with an impressive D.C. resume. And unlike Ralph Nader, she’s actually a Green Party member and working to build the party.

California Propositions

Prop 91: Hell no – Wants to use the gas tax for new roads only–oh wait, that’s already a law.

Prop 92: Yes – Cap community college fees & guarantee funding.

Prop 93: Yes – Shorter term limits, while keeping politicians focused on lawmaking–instead of alternating elections between the state Assembly and Senate.

Props 94-97: Hell no! – 17,000 more slot machines? Big $$$ for rich tribes, a little $ for the state, and less environmental and labor protections.

San Francisco Propositions

Prop A: Yes – $185 million bond for City Parks? Sure, charge it to the City’s credit card.

Prop B: No – Early pension $ for old cops? We need young, cops who are from SF.

Prop C: No – Vague wish to turn Alcatraz into a non-specific peace center.
