One Party Rule never seemed to be a media issue when the American Soviet Party held the majority of power in state legislatures.

Soft secession sure beats the hell out of civil war and it sure ain’t our side which wants to force our model on the other side.

Glad you posted the link. I have not purchased the Kansas City Red Star or Kansas City Falling Star paper sonce November 2008. I was unaware that Dave Helling was even still alove to report the lies that his editors give him to publish.
By the way Our Gov of KS the Honorable Sam Brownback is doing a great job as is the Elected Members of the KS house and Senate.

I know one thing - republican controlled states passed no new gun control laws.

There is considerable support for losing the winner take all electoral system in Michigan and going by districts won. That would give us a fighting chance.
I’m not sure how to overcome the disastrous 17th amendment for electing senators.

Mrs. Helling’s little Davy probably wouldn’t be whining about this if it was the DemocRATS who were the “one party” running all of the states.

It may take decades before we understand which party has the stronger argument. But well be able to judge the early results by watching where people decide to live in high-tax, high-services states such as California or New York, or in low-tax, low-services states such as Texas and, well, Kansas and Missouri. Fair enough. As of now, where are people deciding to live? The author doesn't mention hard numbers, which are already available.

You go Georgia girl! Unfortunately Pennsylvania suffers from New York & Jersyitis. So if anyone from a true blue red state wants to come here, we have great hunting and snowy winters.

Pennsylvania came close to doing the same thing last legislative session. We had a bill introduced by the Senate Majority leader and a governor pledged to sign it if passed.
Our asshat GOP Chairman then proceeded to strong-arm wavering legislators so it wouldn't get out of committee. His excuse: We can win them all, we don't want to divide electoral votes and Pennsylvania's influence.
What we should have said: so what, it will be a blow-out election if and when we do.
How that jag-off managed to keep his job is beyond comprehension.

Wisconsin is doing a lot of good things, too! Finally! Never thought I’d see it in my lifetime, again. :)

Im not sure how to overcome the disastrous 17th amendment for electing senators. The more we separate as states, I would think the more it becomes a bipartisan issue to move things from the federal government to the states, and a repeal of the 17th amendment would be politically possible.

Yes, cripplecreek, and reassert states' rights against the feral government in Washington, D.C.
