Recommendations for November 5, 2024

October 26, 2024 by Mike Rhodes Leave a Comment

The Community Alliance newspaper prints a guide for voters every election cycle.  This gives readers the ability to see who is endorsing candidates and you can choose which values you agree with.

The Chamber of Commerce or Organized Labor?
The Republican Party or the Democratic Party?

There is also a grid for all of the Ballot Measures.

Statewide Ballot Measures—The Second Five

BY RACHEL YOUDELMAN

As noted in last month’s issue, your Nov. 5 ballot will include 10 statewide measures ranging from repairs for public school buildings to increasing the minimum wage. Other issues, including rent control, climate action, prisoner labor measures and a proposal for harsher penalties for theft and drug crimes will also be presented to voters for important, consequential decisions. Last month, we presented Propositions 2–6. As promised, below is the second set of five of November’s 10 ballot measures, Propositions 32–36. These measures will determine how Californians will live their daily lives, so every vote counts. Remember: Not voting is still a vote—for the other side.

Prop 36 a Dangerous Ruse 

BY BOB MCCLOSKEY

California Proposition 36, the Drug and Theft Crime Penalties and Treatment-Mandated Felonies Initiative, is on the November ballot. If passed by voters, years of successful sentencing reform and funding are in jeopardy. It is a dangerous ruse, and its sponsors are gaslighting the public.

BY JAMES MENDEZ

We are in the final stretch of the election season. Ballots will be mailed out to voters on Oct. 7.  Even though Election Day isn’t until Nov. 5, once voters receive their ballots they can vote by mailing in their ballots or dropping them off at drop boxes throughout the county or at the Registrar of Voters office at 2221 Kern Street in downtown Fresno.

Trump: Immigrants Are Eating Pets and Stealing Jobs

BY SUNITA SOHRABJI

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump went full throttle on immigrants during the Sept. 10 Presidential debate, vowing to deport at least 15 million migrants immediately after taking office. “These people coming in…they’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there,” said the former president, referencing debunked reports of Haitian migrants trapping animals and barbecuing them in Springfield, Ohio.

Falling Out with Historical Allies

BY JAMES MENDEZ

Recent events on the Fresno electoral scene clearly demonstrate that the goals of elected officials are not always 100% in alignment with the goals of their supporters or groups that have supported them in the past. Although it is unreasonable to expect any group to agree with an individual all the time, we are seeing an unusual falling out of those who had been historical allies this year.
