I Did Not Include Question One Because Legislature Already OK'ed
I suppose if you had local questions, you might report your vote on those if you desire. We had three non-binding in Watertown having to do with campaign financing, to which I voted "No" on all three, but going into the details of each here would be time consuming and probably not of interest to most.

Can you include it? It still
Can you include it? It still matters. AAA is still supporting it.
BTW, the difference from what I can tell so far is the ballot measure requires the main effects to come 3 years earlier, a stronger penalty to refuse, and some additional information that the compromise... compromised.
No
I don't have the power to edit things that are already up and running and commented upon. You could create the poll for question one as a stand alone.

I wish this one had made it on the ballot
Charitable Solicitation Regulation Initiative - Change the "do not call" list law to regulate certain charitable solicitations.
I don't mind the occasional Big Brother clothes pickup call but I'd like to block my alma mater, UMass/Amherst, from calling me day and night asking for money.
Good Side Subject
What ballot question do you wish HAD been on the ballot?
"Stores that play Christmas music, prior to the day following Thanksgiving, shall pay the state a $10,000 penalty per hundred square feet of retail space, all monies thus raised going into a mental health fund for those who are driven around the bend by such mistimed music. Failure to pay said penalty shall result in a subsequent ban upon putting Valentine candy on the shelves prior to February, or a sprig of holly driven through the CEO's heart (assuming a heart can be located.)"
Nah, not really. I'm too much of a libertarian to actually want a law against it. But I'm damn tempted.

Question 5 WAS on the ballot.
Now, if it had only been BINDING ...
missing poll option:
"Were campaign signs and people in violation of the state and federal election laws on how close they can be to the polling location?"
question 3
WEED IS SO HARMLESS CAN WE STOP WASTING TIME AND MONEY ON THIS PLANT THAT GROWS IN THE GROUND !! METH AND CRACK DO NOT GROW IN THE GROUND. HOW THEY CALL THEM THE SAME IS FUCKING GARBAGE.
almost harmless
It apparently causes people to type with their caps lock key stuck. Other than that, yeah harmless.
Oh and crack is a form of cocaine, which is derived from the coca PLANT, which I believe does grow in the ground.
False flag?
I dunno, this guy looks like a plant (um... no pun intended?). Most of the guys I know advocating for legalization just copy Jim Morrison lyrics into the comment box. No caps lock there.
uhm
it's not like you can pick crack or coke off a tree and smoke it so no still not the same.
I'm For It, OK?
Have been for years. And I appreciate your fervor. But if you're going to argue for legalization, know your stuff. Otherwise, folks will pick you apart and leave the entire cause in worse shape than it was before you got there.
You can pick coca leaves, stuff 'em in your mouth, and chew on 'em. That's how folks originally used 'em and glommed onto the many possible benefits.
And you can't pick pot leaves off of a tree and smoke it. For one thing, it doesn't grow on trees. For another, it has to be cured prior to smoking. Have you ever tried smoking dope straight from the green bush?
Relax, my friend. It will probably pass.

leaves?
that because you don't smoke the leaves you smoke the buds
