Digestion *burp*
Some real hotties on the contitutional amendments docket! Here are my fav's that will be fun to watch.
There's plenty for the gay rights crowd to be up in arms about this session. There are several amendments and resolutions that deal with defining a marriage as a union between man and woman only.
The run-away real estate assessment issue comes up too. You can bet your localities will be watching this and the emminent domain issues before both houses.
The Governor's term of office is up for consideration again. Seems to me this might have legs this time. I'm increasingly liking the idea of a multi-term governor.
The Car Tax is coming around again folks. Seems like the localities will be lobbying a lot this session.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Transporation is "hot, hot, hot!" this year. And the debate between Northern Virginia and the rest of the state will rage into high prominence I predict. For those of us who live here but work a significant amount of time in No.VA., we already know how the residents of No.VA already feel about the rest of us "tax slackers".
There is an amendment calling for a Congressional Convention to amend the US contitution to require a balanced budget.
Great idea...WRONG President. I support GWB a lot, except when we start talking about money. Man, can he spend it! He's strayed very far from our conservative roots. Sadly, this is something that we'll pay foward for generations to come.
Restoration of civil rights for felons. (laughing hysterically! I can't believe that we're even considering this!)
Mores? We don't need no stinkin' mores! -deepest apologies to the Treasure of the Sierra Madre-

Chris:
thanks for your support, and a breath of fresh air, over at Bacon's Rebellion. There seem to be some people who have invented a hypothetical world where everything is done for the public good by consensus, and universally agreed to by a public that has been "properly educated."
The only problem is they seem bent on creating this world by legislating it into existence. Wasn't it Jefferson who said the US would be the first nation to legislate itself into totalitarianism?
