Prop. 9 criminal justice system, victim's rights

Officially asks for:
-requires notification of victim and opportunity for input during phases of criminal justice process, including bail, pleas, sentencing and parole.
-reduces the number or parole hearings granted
-requires that victims receive written notification of their rights
-increases the number of people allowed to attend and testify on behalf of a victim at a parole hearing

argument for:
sorry to sound bias but this is honestly just a bunch of stories appealing to emotion. I could make you vote for anything if I said, "a yes vote means no more sixth grade boys and girls will be forced to smash newborn puppies with hammers while they give their grandparents the finger"

against:
This bill was bought and paid for by one man - Henry Nicholas III. Most of the statutes of this were already approved in 1982's victims bill of rights.

my take:
this prop is much too emotion driven. it is supported by "Justice for Homicide victims" and "justice for murdered children" Their entire argument is hypothetical "jenny was a fresh young college student in the prime of life..." stories. It's all written entirely in Uppercase letters. These are the classic signs of a bullshit prop. If you have a real argument you can maintain a rational tone. You do this because you know it so well you feel it in your gut and therefore there is nothing to fear and you speak calmly and clearly. Appealing to emotions in a monetary matter is what a con artist does. "my grandma needs surgery" You tell me what options you have already exhausted, why grandma isn't covered, whether or not you've checked government aid options, if you've applied for a personal loan from a bank and so on. Show me you have taken all other routes and I'm your last chance and I might consider it. If you try to con me you deserve nothing. skeevy. It's a shame. And furthermore this bill was already passed in 1982, we don't need to throw more money at this. We can achieve these goals in other ways than a poorly written bill to funnel money into someone's pocket.

final word:
Guess what... vote NO.
