Ballot proposals.

Before giving political opinions, I need to explain the difference between philosophies. Our founders examined democracies of the past and found it to be a bad form of government. This is because the side with one more person was allowed to trample the rights of the minority. The founders formed a republic so we would elect educated people who would examine issues closely and make sure all sides were represented. This is the basic difference between democrat and republican. The democratic view is a winner takes all view and the republican view is to protect the rights of the minority. The concept of minority rights has nothing to do with race. With this in view, I am not a fan of ballot proposals because special interests who take money from out of state can advertise and convince people to bypass our legislature. It is like allowing engineers to build a bridge verses having every detail voted on. It would be a dangerous way to do it.
So concerning the Michigan ballot proposals I am voting no on all of them. I have read each of them and there isn't a single one that isn't bypassing our legitimate legislature. Each issue should be put before our elected officials so the minority view can also be represented. I can expand if you comment...
