Interesting tonight ...THE VOTE, MISSISSIPPI, OHIO

Tonight in Mississippi there are 2 questions which will be answered…

1) The taking of private property by the state, not for a highway, or any other public ‘good’ except it’s giving to another private owner who will put it, or PROMISE to put it to a use which will create more revenue (taxes) for the state

2) Declaration that a fetus is a human with all appropriate rights AT CONCEPTION

This is pretty much a mutually exclusive pair, since it is inconceivable that the limits of the state to demand your property can determine what to do with the property which is your UTERUS, based on the FAITH of some that God tells them in that uterus is a human.

I have suggestion for our meritocracy, such as it is. Pass a law that ALL abortion save to preserve the life of the mother past that age of the fetus which is the youngest we have rescued in the USA is illegal. ALL. There can be NO ARGUMENT such a fetus is human. And to the pro life people, rather than spend moneys on this campaign, set up a research foundation to create younger and younger premature birth rescues.

Think of what would be saved and the inarguably good use to which this money went, despite anyone’s faith.

OHIO, the big one. Senate #5 limiting unions in the public domain.

On Tuesday, there will be a vote in Ohio that may turn out to be the first major skirmish in the 2012 battle for the White House.

At issue is a law known as Senate Bill 5. The law, passed by the Ohio legislature at the end of March, restricts the ability of public employees to engage in collective bargaining.

Even before the ink on Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s signature on Senate Bill 5 had time to dry, public employee unions in Ohio and their allies began the process of gathering the signatures necessary to invoke a provision in the Ohio Constitution that allows legislation to be placed before the state’s voters. Within a few months, Senate Bill 5 opponents had managed to collect nearly 1 million valid signatures, more than three times what they needed to place the law on the November ballot.

The campaign to repeal Senate Bill 5, led by a group called “We Are Ohio,” quickly went national. For example, The National Education Association donated $2 million to We Are Ohio, while, the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and the Communication Workers of American kicked in more than $1 million apiece.

As Election Day draws near, those who support Senate Bill 5 have also attracted out- of-state assistance. Citizens United, the group whose legal challenge led to the watershed 2010 Supreme Court campaign finance decision, spent $100,000 on pro-Senate Bill 5 commercials.

These are bellweather votes.
