I THINK I have made up my mind on voting but anyone want to voice an opinion?

John Carney wrote a quick overview of what the vote was all about this time in Sunday's Times-Gazette. http://www.t-g.com/story/2127701.html It helped me get my decisions lined up with two exceptions.
Coincidentally they were numbered 1 & 2. Listening to the advertisements about the issue, I understood and agreed with both sides, but looking a little deeper helped me read through most of it. But......
What do the proponents of proposed constitutional amendment #1 mean when they say that many abortion clinics are not licensed, and they do not need to be? Do they mean they did not buy a permit or their medical procedures are not monitored and controlled?
As with the abortion issue, I cringe when 'government' is authorized to get involved in something, so I was originally skeptical of proposed amendment 2. Allowing for legislature review seemed to give politicians more opportunity to play politics, so I balked, but when I saw previous and sitting governors supporting it, I rethought it.
I am truly disappointed in our choices for U.S. Representative but, it is what it is so I have to choose.

Basically -- as I've already reported, and will be following up on soon -- the current laws give 501(c)3 non-profit groups the right to hold raffles. But 501(c)3 is just one particular section of the federal tax code, and not all non-profit groups fall under it. Veterans groups, in particular, fall under a different section of the tax code -- 501(c)19. The proposed amendment would allow 501(c)19 groups to have raffles just as 501(c)3 groups do now. But the amendment only uses those numbers, without describing what they mean, and so someone coming into the ballot who isn't a tax attorney or certified public accountant is going to be scratching his or her head.
