California, often a testing ground for far-left policies, will vote on several ballot initiatives in November. Here’s what you need to know.
From The Epoch Times. California voters will decide on 10 ballot measures in November …
Get prayer updates from IFA.
Each of the initiatives … will need approval from at least 50 percent of voters to pass.
State Constitutional Amendments
Prop. 3: Marriage Equality (ACA 5)
The California Constitution currently states that only marriage between a man and a woman is recognized in the state …
A yes vote on this ballot measure means removing this state constitutional rule and establishing marriage as a fundamental right for all individuals.
Prop. 5: Local Taxes to Fund Housing (ACA 1)
This state constitutional amendment, if approved, will make it easier for local governments to approve bonds and special taxes for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects.
A yes vote means the threshold to pass such bonds and taxes would reduce from a two-thirds supermajority to 55 percent.
Prop. 6: Ban Slavery (ACA 8)
A yes vote on this state constitutional amendment would ban forced prison labor by abolishing slavery in any form. …
Bonds
Prop. 2: Education Bond
Voters will weigh in on a $10 billion education bond designed to allocate state funds for the renovation of school buildings that are 75 years old or older. …
Prop. 4: Climate Bond
Voters will decide on a $10 billion bond aimed at prioritizing safe and affordable drinking water, wildfire prevention, extreme heat mitigation, sustainable agriculture, and clean, renewable energy. …
Other Ballot Initiatives
Prop. 32: Minimum Wage
Under the Living Wage Act, the state’s minimum wage increased to $16 earlier this year and will rise to $17 in January for businesses with more than 25 employees.
A yes vote on the proposed ballot measure means the minimum wage will continue increasing to $18 in January 2025. …
Prop. 33: Rent Control
The proposed measure, titled Justice for Renters Act, seeks to repeal the nearly three-decades-old Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which prevents local governments from setting rent caps on housing built after 1995 and single-family homes.
A yes vote means the local governments will have more authority to regulate rental rates and to expand rent control to properties that were previously exempt. …
Prop. 34: Direct Patient Care
A yes vote on this initiative means certain healthcare providers must spend 98 percent of revenue from a 2000 federal prescription drug discount program on direct patient care. …
Prop. 35: Tax on Medi-Cal Insurance Providers
A yes vote means a current tax on health care insurance providers, originally set to expire in 2026, will be extended indefinitely to fund health care for those covered by the Medi-Cal program. …
Prop. 36: Reform Prop. 47
Initially passed by voters in 2014, Proposition 47 aimed to lower prison populations by downgrading some felony theft and drug crimes to misdemeanors. Ten years later, Prop. 47 returns to the ballot for voters to decide whether to reform the law amid heightened concerns about public safety across the state.
A yes vote on the reform proposal means strengthening penalties for repeat offenders and allowing prosecutors to charge felonies for certain drug and theft crimes. …

Thomas, You are correct about Paul confronting people in the scriptures. I guess I should just say that I question the motive and heart behind the commenters choice of words. I see your point of view as well. I will leave it at that.
Anne (real name)
Father God- since I live in CA and will be voting, please give me wisdom to know how to vote on these propositions. Help me to find guidance from a reliable source that will help me understand them better. May many of your people carefully vote on these matters. In Jesus Name, Amen
Anne or whatever your real name is. Shalom in Yeshua.
According to 2 Timothy 3:16-17, I’m coming to you to make a correction. Answer my question if you would please …. Did the Apostle Paul ever speak negative of someone my name ? The answer is yes, twice in 2 Timothy chapter 4.
“10 For Demas has deserted me for love of this present world and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens [has gone] to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very helpful to me for the ministry.
12 Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13 [When] you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, also the books, especially the parchments.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great wrongs. The Lord will pay him back for his actions.
So, the Apostle Paul gave names (Demas and Alexander) whom he spoke negative of. Biblical Hermeneutics says that I need two verses to substantiate (two witnesses) a doctrine. My doctrine is this, Paul “bashed” (your words, not mine) two people by name in Scripture. If I were to bash someone (whom I consider my enemy) and asked others to pray for them, provided their name, would I be within the scope of agape love (Matthew 5:43-48) ?
I welcome your comments
IFA is Intercessors for America- prayers, petitions to our God on behalf of America and its citizens . It concerns and bothers me greatly when a post is used to vent strong ill feelings and bash another human being under the disguise of prayer. It’s not what I consider prayer to be. Christians are called to a higher standard by the truths in his Word.
Father, draw Californians to you. Give them righteous leaders who will look to you and let them live in peace.

Father, Abba, many of my relatives live in this state. Many of them are Your children. Lord, let the revival fires burn on Azusa Street, in Huntington Beach, in Your churches and in Your people. Deliver this population from all evil. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
