I’d like to talk about California’s Proposition 29, which is coming up for vote in the June 5, 2012 primary. What would be the correct forum to use. Thanks. ---

Thanks **Siam Sam**. Since it isn’t about an actual candidate, I wasn’t sure if Elections would be the right place. Thanks again. ---

It doesn’t matter… the content of the OP is more important. If the Mods don’t like it they can find a way to do whatever they want with it. Good luck. Tip… don’t have an opinion…that is poisoning the well. Another tip … don’t not have an opinion… that is being disingenous. ---

If you’re posting in one of the debate forums, then we’re interested in facts and cogent analysis. Opinions that slant one way without anything to back them up generally do poison the well. ---

Yes, Elections would be the best place. It’s a measure determined by voting, and we’ve had several other threads about statewide propositions there. Good luck with your thread!
