General Guidelines I Follow in Analyzing Measures:

Do: Read Summary, then proposed legal text, then Legislative Analyst analysis; then arguments for & against
Do: Ask yourself if this is a proper role of government biblically
Do: Determine what general principles apply (biblical, conservative, practical)
Do: Ask yourself if this is the right thing to do, who benefits, and what consequences will result
Do: Apply common sense; come to a tentative conclusion – compare to positions of those you trust
Do: Concentrate on the major implications and not on trivial aspects to make a decision
Don’t: Rely on recommendations of organizations by name only (Could be deceptively misleading)
Don’t: Wait until the last day to do your research (spread it out over time)
Don’t: Support government going into future debt (there are only very rare exceptions to this)
Don’t: Allow rare circumstances or emotional arguments to overly influence (“rare cases make bad law”)
Don’t: Support anything that’s too complex to completely understand (could be purposeful obfuscation)
Don’t: Accept a lot of bad for the sake of a small amount of “worthwhile” good

All biblical citations I use rely upon the English Standard Version (ESV) translation
