      CA and L.A. propositions in Haiku (Photo – Graphic Dept.).

      Damian Carroll, National Director of the charity VisionToLearn, as well as a self-identified Democratic activist, songwriter and a proud dad, did a remarkable thing.

      By Brian Rodriguez

      Carroll decide to write all the California and L.A. propositions in an easy-to-understand haiku.

      He released his “poetry” in a PDF form for everyone to enjoy (and remember.) It is not really considered haiku but Carroll gets points for creativity and humor!

      Here it is below, enjoy:
