Personally I think that the United States should withdraw the troops from Iraq. I think this because the war in Iraq has taken longer than anyone ever predicted and in the process has taken many lives. Also, the United States has spent a lot of money supporting the troops in Iraq. This situation is making the United States look like the enemy to the Middle East.

I think that President Bush, since he has come into office, was determined to seek revenge and start a War in the Middle East, particularly Iraq. Money spent on the war, especially now with our economy failing, could provide so much good here in the United States. The money spent on war could be spent on improving things here at home.

Dukes County Voter Questions

We thought that you might be interested in knowing about the kinds of issues that voters on Martha's Vineyard and in  Massachusetts vote on. You could take your opinions home with you and share them with your family. Political discussions are great dinner talk!

State Income Tax

A YES VOTE would reduce the state personal income tax rate to 2.65%  for the tax year beginning on January 1, 2009, and would eliminate the tax for all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009.
A NO VOTE would make no change in the state income tax laws.

Possession of Marijuana

A YES VOTE would replace the criminal penalties for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana with a new system of civil penalties.
A NO VOTE would make no change in state criminal laws concerning possession of marijuana.

Dog Racing

A YES VOTE would prohibit dog racing on which betting or wagering occurs, effective on January 1, 2010
A NO VOTE would make non changes in the laws governing dog racing

Question 4

Shall the County Manager Plan of section 18 of the County Charter Procedures Act be adopted for Dukes County, with the provision for a board of commissioners of seven members, elected for concurrent terms and elected at large?

YES or NO?
