This pisses me off so much! (Amendment 4)

I took a look at the sample ballots for my area earlier today. I knew this bullshit language was going to be there, but it just hits differently when you actually see it on the ballot.

That's the amendment we all signed the petition to get on the ballot.

The second paragraph is supposed to describe the financial impact of the amendment. That's where the Republican fuckery is. The organization pushing the amendment fought it in court, but they lost.
