Damnit, I think that EVERY proposed law should be put to a vote of The People, and not just passed by legislators "for our own good". Isn't that the way it's SUPPOSED to be in this country? They think them up and ask us if we agree by a vote? Sure would be a damn sight better if it was that way.
That is a poor idea we are not a democracy. We are a republic where even the smallest voice should be heard. If everything went to a vote we would be screwed, remember the supposed 90% for gun control? Majority does not rule for a reason, remember the electoral college was made because they knew they were dealing with a bunch of idiots.Quote:

My State senator and representative are sure the heck not doing anything for me or the farmers or ranchers in my family. The Front range overpowers the smaller counties, but damm right the state is feeding off the hard work of ranchers, farmers and oil gas industries. Wont get my hopes up because the powers that be would not want this to happen. If we had this in play there would not be any stupid mag and transfer laws and certainly no green energy tax on farmers. I see my step father and mother working there tails off, but some starbucks drinking metro sexuals who have no clue sit on there pompous thrones deciding this and that with no clue about what it takes to get crops and cows to market.Quote:
