Presented here are the Nov. 2nd proposed Amendments for the State of Florida voters. Once again, Wiki stands above all the rest as being as fair and unbiased as is humanly possible, I believe. This site is a tremendous boon to those of us who are not used to reading legalize-stated plainly, the amendments are well within our ability to make informed decisions.
Thank you, Wiki Wonderfuls, for once again being a sane voice in the chaos.
