down the bill
trip changed how the state with its electoral college votes
all democrats on the committee voted against the bill as did four of eight
republicans
officially putting end of the election breeding effort in that state
meanwhile in michigan where republicans are considering a similar scheme

it's the appropriate time to look at
else's i'm very skeptical the idea
really viewed as a question of you don't want to change the playing field so it's
an unfair advantage to someone
any insider was the same governor said he wasn't interested passing right to
work for less legislation michigan last year
and then immediately turn around and ask the right to work for less wat anyway
belize for now it appears the republican election bringing efforts are on hold
now it's time for press is to get activa push for a national popular vote
make sure it all the kids can't get away with these kind of things in the future

after president obama unveiled new gun control executive orders a group of tea
party lawmakers in mississippi introduce legislation to create eight permitting
committee in the state
which would be dedicated to nullify or overturning
federal laws that mississippi tea party yours don't like
constitutions very clear in the city the federal government has a premise you
estates
with several red stays disagree
using the same tactics today the proponents of jim crow segregation used
after the civil war
tea party lawmakers are not the ones to determine if there wasn't a
constitutionalist jobstreet
we've seen what happens when states think they can ignore basic federal laws
to improve the lives of people most states
it was called the civil war
clearly a tea party has not learned the lessons of history
and that's the way it is today wednesday
