You have been told since your early Civics classes that anyone could run and become leader of your state or a representative of your area……ANYONE could be the next governor or state senator. No matter race, gender or social status…….am I right?
Before you answer that plain and simple question you might to check out the below graph…..
Personal opinion….I do not care what someone’s religion is or the lack of it…….if the person will truly work for the best interests of the people of this country….then they should be allowed to run for office…..the same goes for voting…..
At what point do people stopping judging others by some test or prejudice?
Amen
Hansi, I worry that all this is just the beginning of the end…have no hard facts just a gut feeling….
Wow, I did not know that. I would say that its crazy, but it actually does not surprise me.
Nothing about Mississippi surprises people who live there….it is only nationally that they seem to be surprised….they need to spend more time down here….
Huh… I thought those laws were stuck down as unconstitutional.
Oh but thanx to the states rights thingy…it is not in the state constitutions…..sad huh?
