It's Our America

This is a politically liberal blog from the perspective of a college student. I, like most of my generation, believe that every person around the world, especially in America, has the right to live as they please, without any government, corporation or anything else from restricting that right. I believe that government exists solely to help protect and govern its citizens. The government should never fails its people.

State Initiatives That Failed But Should Have Passed

Alabama voted against removing references to segregation from its constitution.

Arkansas voted against medical marijuana

California voted against a ban on corporate/union campaign contributions, repealing the death penalty and labeling genetically-modified foods.

Massachusetts voted against doctor-assisted suicide.

Michigan voted against collective bargaining rights for workers and health care providers and against a mandate that would have required a quarter of the state's energy come from renewable resources by 2025.

North Dakota voted against making intentional animal cruelty a felony. 

Oregon voted against recreational marijuana and creating new casinos.

Massachusetts - Democrat Elizabeth Warren by a small margin

Michigan - Democrat Debbie Stabenow by a landslide

Minnesota - Democrat Amy Klobuchar by a landslide

Mississippi - Republican Roger Wicker by a landslide

Missouri - Democrat Claire McCaskill by a small margin (if not then I vote to banish Missouri from the Union because it elected Todd Akin)

Montana - Democrat Jon Tester by an extremely small margin

Nebraska - Republican Deb Fischer in a landslide

Nevada - Republic Dean Heller by a small margin (although supposedly Shelley Berkley is going to surge any day now)

New Jersey - Democrat Bob Menendez by a comfortable margin

New Mexico - Democrat Martin Heinrich by a comfortable margin

Washington - Democrat Maria Cantwell by a landslide

West Virginia - Democrat Joe Manchin by a landslide

Wisconsin - Democrat Tammy Baldwin by a small margin

Wyoming - Republican John Barrasso by a landslide

For those who are keeping track that means two seats currently held by Democrats will switch to Republicans and three seats currently held by Republicans will switch to Democrats making the new Senate breakdown. 54 Ds to 46 Rs.
