This is topic First I made the local paper, now I’m on the state site and have a petition in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
http://www.wvgop.org/ I'm down the page just a little. Cool.

Very cool, Jay. Congratulations.

So, um, what are the petitions about?
(In case you didnt' visit the site, that's a joke).
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
Yes, I have the goatee now. A recent addition.
Fun.
The petitions are getting a lot of attention locally.

Looks like eliminating tax (sales tax?) on food, and a law preventing the use of eminent domain that the Supreme Court decided was acceptable.
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
Hence why every state needs to get laws to protect property owners.
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
Well, a state law would only be a minor roadblock against the state itself doing it. The sure protection is a Constitutional amendment (I suggest in the form of a requirements to first initially only be used by a government, and second to not be sold to private interests within some minimum term, say, 10 years).
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
We already have an amendment. The 5th. But the Supreme Court chose not to read it that day. But there is still room for each state to fix it.
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
I meant state constitution.
Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :
Oh… I guess that is a good point. Though any attempt to change that state law would be met with fierce resistance and an automatic vote for the opponent I would imagine.

Good luck. You seem like a nice guy.
