The Dad Guide


Due to popular request and inspired by the “California Ballot Initiative Process” the Official Dad Guide to Elections is now available in electronic format! No more long-distance phone calls to Oberlin (or New Zealand). No more mass emails to Stanford. Everything you need is right here. First, read and learn the basic rules to filling out your ballot. Then, look at the election handbook and sample ballot and apply what you’ve learned. If you have any questions (or if you’re just lazy), consult the Official Dad Guide for that election. Enjoy!
November 2006	Time to take back congress—mainly because if the Dems can’t do it THIS election, it ain’t never gonna happen. And good lord—the voter guides are bigger than IKEA catalogs!
November 2005	The Ahnuld Election. A waste of time and money where all doubt is removed from Rule #1. So yeah... Just Vote NO!
November 2004	The ballot from hell—more than compensating for the lack of initiatives from March. And a new rule comes to the Dad Guide.
March 2004	Surprisingly no initiatives this time. Good thing the Legislature picked up the slack. Oh, and Kucinich for President! (because he’s cute)
November 2002	The Dad Guide takes an election off and picks a good one as the only issue of interest is which loser to vote for Governor. The posted guide touches on the family consensus without the depth of previous years.
March 2002	The “we’ve got to do something!” election. When Californians vote on their “right to have their vote counted,” and for Patriotism to replace Social Studies in high schools.
November 2000	When elections ATTACK! (The election that wouldn’t die) Plus, let’s put drugs Sunnyvale’s water supply and get the government involved in private schools too!
March 2000	Traditional Indian Gambling (in two parts), Family Values (as long as it looks like my family), and Term Limits (since we live in a democracy where people are unable to vote for new/better candidates).
November 1998	Indian Gambling round 1, and two “Take pity on the cute fuzzy animal with big eyes” iniatives. We all know that the most pressing issue to the state is keeping people from eating horses.
