Post from corey at CHUM.LY

Amazing how everyone of my teaching friends have unfriended me over my support for Luna's proposals and my opposition to the behavior of union members (teacher and otherwise) in WI and IN. And I am supposed to be the closed minded one? The funniest part about it all is that the last one who unfriended me gave me a big ration of crap about not wanting to debate the issues or hear opposing viewpoints when they thought I had unfriended them a couple of days ago and hadn't. (They were actually signed into their spouses account at the time.)

Nullification Hearing

Sadly the Senate State Affairs committee refused to vote HB117 out of
committee. Only Sen Fulcher voted in favor. The rest went against public opinion and muttered no with out looking at the audience. Kudos to Senators Davis and Hill who were men enough to state their reasons for opposition to the bill.

Nullification Hearing

So far only 2 have spoken against HB117. One was a unionista who believed it was the govt's duty was to take care of the people at all costs and the other who mangled and horribly misquoted James Madison.

My 13 year old son is receiving a better civics lesson today by attending the Senate State Affairs Committee than any teacher, including myself, could give him in any other setting. Glad he could join me today and has shown interest in the political process.

Nullification Hearing

There has been some great testimony using logic and rational thought. There also has been some emotional testimony that could have been more rational. Overall I give the testimony a B-.

consritutionally mandated state rights vs federal authority.

Nullification Hearing

Sponsors have stated that this bill implements the Florida court decision that declared Obamacare unconstitutional and directs state agencies to not from implementation.
