Future Of Referendum Bills Up In Air


When it came to helping undocumented students receive in-state college tuition and giving same-sex couples the right to marry, state Democratic lawmakers strongly advocated for bills that would provide them those rights.
But the state’s Democratic voters may not be so supportive.

Republican lawmakers were successful in putting the DREAM Act and same-sex marriage on the November ballot, leaving the bills’ fates in the hands of state voters. Although the bills passed the state legislature, minority issues have a shaky history in the ballot box.

Social justice policies always discriminate against someone and ultimately work against the group they are supposed to help.

America was founded on the principles of opportunity based on the rights to speak freely and be who we are. Any attempt to regulate behavior will backfire.

Not all registered democrats are far left loons like the state legislators and governor

They may not be far left loons but they are still sheep. On election day dems will go into the voting booth and blindly vote for the guy that has brought the country to its knees.
