Here in Western Pa. Locally there was just a 20% turnout.
Yet the death grip in DC controls our lives.
Wrong. Actually, the supremacy clause only says that federal laws “pursuant to” the Constitution are supreme. Indeed, this, plus the 10th amendment, implies that any laws NOT made pursuant to the Constitution are null and void, and can be declared as such by the states.
“Let politicians do the choosing, really? REALLY?”
Some people cannot see past the immediate future when they want a law a certain way.
An officer of the Texas Republican Party called one year about a rule the Texas Senate wanted to put in place. I told her that would be fine if Republicans were always the majority but did she want a Democrat majority in the senate to have this power? She said absolutely not and changed her mind about this being a good rule and spoke against it from that time forward.
You see, laws and rules stay in place (most of the time), and both parties have to go by those laws/rules - never make one that would put your party at a disadvantage if the other party became the majority. Always make sure rules/laws are fair to both parties (unfortunately, many do not want to do that).
Agreed - will it ever happen
just think - a senate responsive to their constituents instead of their donors.
It seems that Mr. Barry Goldwater was correct. If New England was sawed off into the Atlantic and the San Andreas fault would slide CA into the Pacific then this country would be pretty good.
Colors are wrong.
The Pennsylvania Cemetery Vote showed up again.
PA needs to split up at this point before it declines into some serious financial problems it will not be able to get out of. A handful of counties are running roughshod over the entire state. It needs to end.
Yes it would.
Be assured that any good news about conservatives gaining ground will be met with razzberries and derision by FR’s surrender monkey brigade.
We need to take a bunch more State houses... I’m stunned KY is a split. Our guys need to work harder...
Exactly. Is the “Convention of States” concept getting any momentum?
Just curious, since I don’t see a lot of talk about it at this point. But I may be a bit “out of touch” on this issue.
I have suspected that talk of the CoS was a rumor started by liberals to make patriots think that ”other patriots” were actually working on it.
On the other hand, it probably takes time to get the state Houses on the same sheet of music for a CoS.

Conservative country, liberal culture.
A federal judge can easily nullify the action of a state legislature or referendum.
Good posting, Marcella. I appreciate your history of being active in Texas politics.
I am a natural born Texan, too. I read your “about” page - I know Tyler well. Grew up in White Oak, Texas, not that far from Tyler, home of the Tyler Rose Parade/Festival. :o)
