Marianna Griffin | Housewife | Los Angeles

1.) For president: Who? Why?
Obama, because he is actually for the people.

Prop 8, because I don’t believe in gay marriage.

This is a stupid question.

Asshole.

I voted no on Prop 13.

10.) How did you decide on Prop 1B (illegal to dress dogs and cats in sweaters)?
