At the Statehouse, a coalition is forming to bring forward a constitutional amendment which will take another biennium before it can be introduced, but the time is now to promote it.

In the United States today, political office too often resembles a throne more than a term of service. But it was not always this way.

They are trying hard to sell their victim mentality mindset with gas-lighting, spin and Trump-hating to whomever will believe their distortions and lies.
