How do you plan on voting and why? Non-Florida residents feel free to tell us how you would vote and why?

 

For me I'm voting against Amendment 1, I'm for private ownership of land period. The way it reads to me, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they want to expand the funding dedicated to purchasing land for the state (parks, recreational, preserves things like that). While on the surface that sound's great we all like the parks and preserves (I'm a huge outdoors man camping all the time!) the idea of allocating MORE money for the state to buy land isn't something I'm backing.

 

On Amendment 2 I'm a solid yes, legalize and tax it just like alcohol and tobacco. I get the term medical doesn't exactly legalize it but it's a step in the right direction. I find the entire war on drugs a waste of time, money, resources and a total failure on all fronts. I'll vote against it any chance I get. Besides if they legalize it maybe I can legally grow some on my property and make some money selling it to the clinics.

 

Amendment 3 is confusing but as I understand it, they want us to approve Governors appointing judgeship that are not yet vacant but expected to become vacant in the near future, even possible after there term as governor is up? I'm voting no unless someone can explain the purpose for it better to me. My default position is No.

 

What says you?
