[Wheee The People]

The free people of Florida went to the voting booth and voted for this as a constitutional restriction if memory serves me right. Do you have a problem with voting booths and free people?

Ok, one gal in Florida ask this:

The one thing we are trying to research right now is WHY on the original petition signed to get this ban on the ballot was there a 35% section allowance for smoking in restaurants, yet, this never made it into law. It seems with this percentage for restaurant smokers, the voters deemed this "fair". How did we vote for one thing, yet Legislation changed it after the fact. They are the ones that made this "unfair" to smoking patrons. They are the ones we need answers from.

I agree that Florida voters voted this ridiculous law in, however, you have no idea what the word "FREE" means!!!
I do not have a problem with voting booths if people are given the true facts before they vote. They weren't given the facts and alot of them are now sorry they voted for it.I bet you are one of those people that hardly ever go out to eat!! People voted on this and then the legislators changed the wording!! So those FREE people of Florida that you are talking about don't exist!!!
Remember how on the ballot clubs were suppose to be exempt? Well guess what, they are not!! There was a federal lawsuit filed before the legislators actually wrote the law. They caved in because they knew if it went federal they would loose! So now all those workers who work in tobacco shops, etc. are not considered worthy enough of the law!! You talk about free people and voting booths, you need to do a little more research before you open your mouth!!!
