Keep Elections Fair in California Vote NO Prop 50
Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. Isaiah 10:1-2
Most people don’t understand what’s going on in politics these days, which makes foul play extremely easy for those in charge.
Don’t Hate Trump So Much That You Become Like This
These days, many people vote without really paying attention to what a proposition or measure actually does – they just vote against Trump.
It’s very disturbing that people hate him so much that they are wlling to hurt themselves just to express their hatred.
Remember when news circulated suggesting a link between Tylenol and autism? Some women, in protest, took dangerous amounts of Tylenol, and tragically, some even suffered kidney failure—all in a misguided attempt to make a point.
This same mindset is at play with how politicians like Gavin Newsom have marketed Prop 50 as a way to be “against Trump.”
Don’t fall into that trap. Be thoughtful and informed about what you’re actually voting for. Here’s what Prop 50 really means—read, understand, and decide for yourself.
Prop 50 isn’t about Republicans or Democrats. It’s about the strong v weak.
Prop 50 Explained
Once upon a time in California, everyone needed a big map that showed where people would vote for their leaders.
Enter the Helpers
A few years ago, the people of California said:
“Let’s ask helpers who don’t work for the government to draw the map. They’ll listen to everyone and make it fair.”
Those helpers are called the Redistricting Commission.
The helpers worked hard!
They listened to towns, families, and neighborhoods.
They tried to make the map fair, so everyone’s voice could be heard.
They didn’t care which team won — they just wanted to make sure everyone got to play by the same rules.
Their hearts were set on fairness.
Enter Sneaky Players
But now, some lawmakers in the California Legislature are saying,
“Hmm… maybe we should draw the map this time instead.”
You see, those lawmakers already have a lot of power.
And sometimes, when people have power for a long time, they can start thinking about what helps them instead of what’s fair for everyone.
They might not mean to, but their hearts can get a little biased – like cheering for their own team instead of all the players.
The Bible reminds us:
“The heart is deceitful above all things.” — Jeremiah 17:9 (NIV)
That’s why God teaches us to set up systems that keep things fair – so no one can secretly move the goalposts or tilt the scales in their favor.
What Proposition 50 asks
Should the lawmakers draw the new map themselves, or should we let the fair helpers — who listen to everyone — do it again?
If you vote YES:
You’re saying, “Okay, lawmakers – forget the helpers – you can draw a new map.”
If you vote NO:
You’re saying, “No thank you — let’s keep using the fair map the helpers already made.”
Think of it like soccer:
Imagine one team is losing and says,
“Wait! We’re going to move the goalposts to make it easier for us to score!”
Would that be fair?
Of course not!
That’s what can happen when people in power get to redraw the map.
Voting No on Prop 50 helps stop that.
It keeps the goalposts where everyone agreed they should be.
The Bible says:
“The Lord detests dishonest scales,
but accurate weights find favor with Him.” Proverbs 11:1 (NIV)
“Do what is right and fair.” Proverbs 21:3 (NIV)
God loves honesty — not playing favorites, not bending the rules — but doing what’s right for everyone.
In simple words:
Prop 50 asks, “Who should draw the map — the fair helpers or the lawmakers?”
A No vote keeps the map fair, keeps the game fair, and helps California do what’s right in God’s eyes.
VOTE NO on Prop 50.
