Saw this on my Facebook feed (yes, I use Facebook...helps me keep in touch with family).
Can New York really say that if you vote, but do not vote on a specific item on the ballot, it is automatically a 'yes' vote?
============================================
From FB:
ATTENTION::That's some sneaky shit NY! Apparently you have to turn the ballot over. Oh and not checking yes or no counts as a yes. Nice job Cuomo you slime!
PLEASE VOTE NO!!!!
To my NEW YORK friends:
You will automatically vote YES if you don't check NO!!! Please read!!! (So sneaky, NY!)
SO IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
Please take the time to read and understand this. This is very personal to our whole family and countless friends........ANYONE who currently receives and will eventually receive a New York State Pension.
PLEASE VOTE NO...
DO NOT LET CUOMO OPEN THE CONSTITUTION. THIS NOVEMBER, LOOK ON THE BACK OF THE BALLOT AND PLEASE VOTE NO!
TEACHERS, POLICE OFFICERS, HOSPITAL WORKERS, DPW WORKERS, CUSTODIANS, NURSES, LAB TECHS, LIBRARIANS, SOCIAL WORKERS, FIREFIGHTERS.......anyone who current collects or plans on collecting a New York State pension..... school bus drivers, too!
If you know and love anyone who currently or will collect a NYS pension.......
Retired Teachers, Police Officers, Firefighters.....
Gov. Cuomo wants to hold a constitutional convention & change not only your pensions but your health care & bargaining rights.
If the constitutional convention gets ballot approval in a November all bets are OFF!
You will lose & those you care about will lose.
The ballot itself has been rigged: when you go to vote, you won't even see the proposal, as it is on the BACK of the ballot.
Unless you remember to
TURN IT OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE
YOU HAVE NO CHANCE to weigh in.
If you don't actively vote NO your vote is automatically read as YES, and that's the problem.
There will be TWO items on the back of the ballot.
1. This is questioning whether there should be a constitutional convention (NO) !!!!!!
2. Asking should politicians lose their state pensions if convicted of a felony or not.
PLEASE be careful & read the wording of both of these proposals very carefully before casting your vote.
A constitutional convention is NOT necessary to make amendments to the NYS constitution.
It costs very little to pass an amendment but MILLIONS to open up the constitution & hold a convention. Taxpayers will be footing the bills which are estimated to be over $100 Million if it were to take place.
Vote ""NO"" to the proposed Constitutional Convention. There is no do-over, recount, re-vote, nothing!!!!!!!!!!
