Я не против русский язык.
I do not like chauvinists who apparently don't know what country they are living in.
Most of the people who went to this referendum and voted against - know Russian - but they don't want to be required to know it, because we are not a part of Russia.

I do not want to get fined, because I might not know Russian well enough - and if this referendum succeeded - "language police" would be required to test proficiency of both Russian AND Latvian (And they usually do it only when someone complains).

If there was a referendum to make English a second state language - I would go and vote against too.

It is not like - well, most of people here know Russian so they should use this language instead.
