On March 13, the Oklahoma House passed HB 1105. As introduced, it required sponsors of an initiative to pay a fee of $1,000 before starting the petition drive, although the money would be refunded if the initiative qualified. On the floor, the bill was amended to also provide that anyone who circulates the petition must have a “criminal history investigation performed by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.” If a petitioner were found to have a history of conviction, that would not prevent him or her from circulating the petition, but the record would be in a public file maintained by the Secretary of State. Thanks to D. Frank Robinson for this news.
I think it should be legal to set religious requirements for signature gathering.

Stop trolling Stock.
A girl without a penis is like an angel without wings.
Stop trolling is Stock?
A girl without a penis is a girl. A girl with a penis is a boy, not a girl.

Everyone must be taxed to petition for a redress of grievances like it doesn’t say in the U S Constitution Bill of Rights.
