Montrose-La Crescenta Patch 2012 Election Guide

Before you head to the polls, know the federal, state and local candidates and issues you will be voting on.

Election Day is fast approaching, so here’s what you need to know before you begin to fill out your ballot on Nov. 6.

Aside from choosing between another four years with Democratic incumbent Barack Obama, or electing Republican challenger Mitt Romney as the next new president, California voters have a long list of local representatives and measures to choose from.

In Los Angeles County, many Democratic incumbents face new Republican challengers, but redrawn districts have placed the Democrats with a strong advantage.  

With 11 state measures on a crowded ballot, the propositions with the most attention are Proposition 30 and 38, both proposing increased funding for education through higher taxes.

Remember, Tuesday, Nov. 6 is Election Day.

Make a special note to remember to watch the Free and Equal Election Debate between third party candidates for the Presidency, Gov. Gary Johnson (Libertarian) and Dr. Jill Stein (Green) to be aired tonight on Monday evening, Nov. 5th from 9:00 - 10:30 pm Eastern Time. Perform a worthwhile civic duty, and be certain to listen in on this historic debate so that you can make an informed decision on voting day. Third party candidates who will be on the ballot in most states deserve to be heard.

To answer your statement, we did look for over 2 hours. Not assumption of fact, it was lost eitherRead More in the establishment or just outside it.
Lee June 18, 2013 at 03:31 am
We spoke with the restaurant and they were so very helpful and kind to help us look. Already did asRead More you suggested. I already spoke with the police station and the military. It's understandable that someone wouldn't know what to do with it if found and that's why my friend, in hopes to assisting me, has posted these and others around.

A little inappropriate to have to read if those happened to be your cats.
ROBERT E. FISHBACK May 23, 2013 at 02:39 pm
I can well empathsize with your loss. First thing, can you remember taking it off anywhere? DidRead More you wash your hands anywhere, soap makes fingers slippery. Did it fit well or was it a little loose? Running makes the arms swing. Strange as it may seem, it may still be in or on your own property. There are still honest people, call the desk of every business you went to. Also, call every pawn shop in your area and report. Good luck. If its any comfort, I found a diamond studded tie tack when I gazed at the soil in my garden and saw it. Keep us posted. b
lmd6280 May 24, 2013 at 06:45 am
Thank you so much. I definitely should not have been wearing it... it has been loose for a coupleRead More of years now. I'm hoping that it is on my property otherwise I am at the grace of good honest people... Thank you for your suggestions and I have filed a lost property report and I will definitely call the local pawn shops. Keeping it in perspective and at the end of the day it is just an object, but I'm definitely hoping that it finds its way back.
ROBERT E. FISHBACK May 25, 2013 at 03:21 pm
Loose for a couple of years....you have been dieting If you worked in your yard on thatRead More day...rent or get a metal detector.

I feel bad that teachers are having to pull money out of their own pockets, I wonder whateverRead More happened to the lottery money that was supposed to go to schools? I am a volunteer for an organization that offers free drug education kits to any teacher with booklets on the various harmful drugs .
