The yes seems to be rising quite quickly.. I hope they don't think we are stuffing the electronic ballot box so to speak.

I voted yes, then 2 mins later there were almost 100 new yes votes.

Not our fault at all. Just don't like the antis constant attemps and excuses to discount us, our opinions, and of course, our rights.

That's why democracy can still be a tyrany. It's not even an issue of a tyranny of the majority but of who actually votes... Majority vote never establishes what is actually right.

This is why it is vital that people understand that we don't live in a democracy. We have a constitutionally limited republic, or at least that is how it all started out.
