Syarzhuk's Voting Guide
Electors of President and Vice President: Stein and Honkala, Green-Rainbow party. For the rationale, see my explanation from 4 years ago

Senator in Congress: Warren. The only statewide election where your vote actually means something. While Brown is not horrible, he is clearly a worse choice.

(the following ones are specific to my district)

Representative in Congress: Markey. While Markey hasn’t done much, at least he hasn’t done much bad. On the other hand, giving a seat to Tierney(R) won’t accomplish anything for the state, but might be a negative for the country as a whole.

Councillor, Senator in General Court, Representative in General Court, Clerk of Courts, Registrar of Deeds – all of these have Democrats running unopposed. As a matter of protesting against the single-party rule in this state, leave the box unchecked.

Middlesex county Sheriff: Ernesto Petrone (he runs as an independent, that should be encouraged).

Ballot question 2 (assisted suicide): resounding YES. This should be a right of every person and government should not be in the business of regulating it.

Ballot question 3 (medical marijuana): resounding YES. Read this: http://bluemassgroup.com/2012/11/please-vote-yes-on-question-three-medical-marijuana-is-a-needed-treatment-for-patients-like-my-husband/

Non-binding questions:

1 (feel-good resolution for the state senator) – YES, though of course it doesn’t matter

2 (marijuana regulated/taxed as alcohol) – YES

3 (corporations are not people) – YES

Disclosure: I am a registered member of the Massachusetts Pirate Party. The positions above are my own and are not necessarily those of the MPP.

What about the question #1?
I am planning to vote NO, because I do not think it is the business of the state to tell the auto companies what to disclose and to whom.

Questions 2 & 3 - agree, YES.

I would vote YES just because I was in a situation once where the mechanic could say "you have a yellow light because there is a problem with XXX", but couldn't tell what the actual problem was. They ended up replacing XXX and it didn't help.
But apparently it doesn't matter anymore

Thank you, I have not heard that the question #1 is irreleant.
The article linked by inostranka is really interesting.

Heh. :) I was actually thinking of voting for Jill Stein, but then saw that she was endorsed by Chomsky and reconsidered. She's too crazy for me, although much, much more likable than, for example, Elizabeth Warren (on just an intuitive level).

With respect to ballot questions - voting resounding no on question 2. Assisting suicide is not a right of every individual, even though committing suicide, of course, is. Actually, the proposed law places such a great liability on doctors, that no doctor in his right mind would ever want to assist in any suicide.
