VOTE Yes on Proposition 1!
With the myriad of other important issues out there (Vote No on Prop 8, Vote No on Prop 4, Vote YES FOR OBAMA) the rest of the issues can get lost (or just be confusing!).
Tonite, I went over to a “voting party” of a friend of Mel’s, where we all had our ballots and discussed each of the California measures and some of the local San Francisco measures.
The suspects - er, guests at the party
It was INCREDIBLY helpful to hear both sides of the debate by people who really care about SF and California.
Rohan, one of the lovely hosts for the evening - note the whiteboard.
One measure that hits close to home without me even knowing it is Proposition 1: Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the 21st Century. This would SIGNIFICANTLY lower the costs to travel to LA (very important for a beginning broke actor…) - in fact, it would lower the travel time to about 2.5 hours for about $50-80 per way. That is WAY cheaper then last-minute (day before) airfare and WAY faster then driving my poor Honda.
I know this isn’t the sexiest issue out there, but consider it when you’re filling out that ballot!

Me and Rach and some delicious free cheese!
Cheers and remember to VOTE!!!
