Voters not happy with Measures overall; so which measures will pass?

I walk for the candidates I support every election. During my door to door, voters spoke about how they felt. This is not a scientific poll but it would make me very happy if all Measures did not pass in this November 4 election.

People had stronger opinions on P and R than Z and Q but once they got facts, some were surprised how they felt; people are researching on their own; but one thing most people agreed on was they were tired of being taxed.

I am against all these measures.

Measure P : Ill-intentioned measure from people wanting to dictate what others eat and with non thought or regard to those whose livelihood is affected. Take it up with Monstanto and leave the others alone.

Measure R: A feel good measure that will achieve nothing to improve the lives of working people; most people who were voting for it because of their intent thinking it would benefit others felt differently when they got the facts. Another ill-intentioned measure designed to stick it to Walmart and "larger businesses"; all it will do is stick it to the people it is supposed to help and drive away the few good employers that do not need legislation to do the right thing.

Measure Z and Measure Q: I do want public safety funded; but the fear mongering turns me off; the unions "by law" suck up the money in "bargaining" and the people just keep paying taxes. Start charging the people who dial 911 because they took too many pills and need a "ride to the ER".

Measure S: Cut the money spent  on bureaucratic expenses and spend it on what directly benefits the children.
