any takers?
I have no idea at what point you moved to MO, but here is a bit of history.LMTD wrote:Uh I'm not talking about getting a bill for the house to vote on or the senate to vote on. I'm talking about a statewide initiative. You get enough voters to sign the petition and BY LAW the secretary of state MUST put it on the ballot and the PEOPLE vote it YES OVER THE LEGISLATURES HEAD and it becomes law. NO sponsor is necessary. Here is the link to the Missouri State government's secretary of state's website explaining how this works. MANY times the citizens of Missouri have used this to pass things that cowardly politicians wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. SO again if anybody is interested and wants to head this up, let me know and I will give you additional info on HOW to do it-for now here is the link: http://sos.mo.gov/elections/pubs/makeyourvoiceheard/myvhintro.aspYour thoughts on including the verbiage to charge the police will make your bill about the largest no fly zone west of the Mississippi river.
I doubt seriously if you could ever get such a thing sponsored let alone to committee.
While I agree with the state wide part, even that alone has a lot of folks nervous.
I also would recommend that if you truly desire to see something like that done, you reconsider posting it and letting the opposition know about it in advance.
The game of politics is best left in private.
Because cops don't "charge" that is up to the Prosecuting attorney. Cops just forward it to the atty in accordance with what they are directed to do.HOW is it "skirting the justice system" to say that if government officials break the law they go to jail like everybody else? I've lived in MO since '85. I remember when putting Concealed carry on the ballot happened and the results. I also know that was then and this is now. NOW we live in a time where an overwhelming majority of people no longer believe government lies and cower in fear, quaking in their boots when liberty causes are championed. The media is, right now, smearing the tea party movement but Missourians-and other Americans-are not believing it. Now is the best time to get it voted through at the polls in my opinion.
