Legislation should be done from the legislature

The Republican majority in the legislature, despite being a majority with the capability of passing legislation, has apparently decided not to do any legislating. Oh, there are plenty of laws they want to pass, but they’ve decided not to. Instead, they’re going to put a seemingly endless parade of constitutional amendments on the ballot this November.

We’re already going to be voting on the marriage discrimination amendment, and at least three other amendments have a lot of momentum right now: amendments to suppress voting, bust unions, and bankrupt our government. And it could get even worse. There are a whopping 33 constitutional amendments currently proposed in the House. Here’s a list:

This isn’t how our system of government is supposed to work. We have a representative system of government. We elect our representatives, and they pass the laws. This legislation by constitutional amendment is a disgrace.

We can’t stop the Republicans from making a mockery of our system, but we can reject their effort to rewrite our constitution. This November, vote NO on the entire Republican Overreach Agenda.
