Hey folks,
Most have probably read the stories and clicked the kinks in my blog posts that are connected to Wikipedia. For those who are not int he know, wikipedia is an amazing site that compiles information about different topics. It lets regular people write and edit the entries. It is not a reliable source for use in academic research, but for everyday curiosity, it’s perfect.
Now there’s a site called Ballotpedia that runs the same way. Its purpose is to bring you simple presentations of what is going to be on your respective ballot come November. I love the wiki system since it allows rapid editing and critique of what is posted.
Below is the link for the amendments that are going to appear on the Florida State election ballot in November. Read them over and see where you stand before casting your vote. It also has links on each amendment page that go to related topics/stories/organizations involved with the amendment.
For the average Florida citizen (esp those who are out of the country and have limited access to daily news coverage) this is great.
2008 Proposed Florida Constitutional Amendments
There are definitely a couple amendments that are sure to cause a bit of a stir in the next few months (FL Marriage Amendment, Amendment 9 are the ones I am most interested in.)
Ok, tchau, ‘brigado!
