Don:
I am 100% serious about the amendment. My reasons for doing it are very different than
yours, however. I do not think SCs are evil, most do not have any intention of subjugating
the CCs. It is strictly a numbers game to me. There are too few SCs to find candidates
willing to subject themselves to the mud-slinging of running for the AB.
I have better things to do with my life than to try to throw roadblocks in your way.
BTW, I am SC of SD, not SC. <grin>

Good questions Robert, I'll have to mull those over for awhile.
Not
likely that it would happen, but possible.
Joy, are you serious with your proposal, not just trying to throw up
a road block here? You are the SC of SC have you already asked your
members there to support your proposal? Have you asked other states
to co-sponsor, etc?
What I am saying is if you are serious, fine, let's review and
discuss them both, if you aren't, then let's not waste these good
people's time.
