Uniforms are blue
Fighting prostitution not homicide?!
I'd be embarrassed as hell too!
—Libertarian Phil Berg's poem in support of Prop. K, which would decriminalize prostitution

Prostitution is a racist, sexist activity that drives human trafficking, a form of slavery.
—From an argument against Prop. K

JROTC is a program of a homophobic military.
—LGBT activists' argument against Prop. V, which recommends keeping the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps in public schools
