On May 25, over 200 supporters of the Mississippi initiative process demonstrated in front of the state capitol, asking the Governor to call a special session of the legislature to pass a bill that restores the initiative process. Earlier this month, the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the state constitution’s provision for a statewide initiative is void. See this story.
Any Dec 1773 Boston Tea Party folks move to MS ????
Has any state ever lost the initiative process like this? I can’t think of any.
No, never before.
Sound like it’s time to go get the muskets.
1774-1775 Mass Militia laws – esp Minutemen.

ALL rotted State regimes — ALL 99 houses
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less CONTROL = OLIGARCHY.
Much much much worse primary math.

What is really disgusting about this is that the initiative process in Mississippi was one of the more difficult ones, so it did not get used that now. The legislature and Governor of Mississippi should be ashamed of themselves. They should restore the process immediately.
Gerrymander monarchs/oligarchs have only contempt for mere voters —
ie are tools of the special interest gangs who can bribe them the most to get govt $$$
— ie cash from NET tax slaves.
All because some right wing scum hate a plant so much.
