We get to vote on Alabama State's Rights, looks like.
This one, subtitled " Ain't gonna let no Yankee Gov. tell us who can marry"Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to prohibit the State of Alabama from giving full faith and credit to
public acts, records, or judicial proceedings of another state that violate the public policy of the State of Alabama and to prohibit the
the application of foreign law in violation of rights guaranteed natural citizens by the United States and Alabama Constitutions, and the
statutes, laws, and public policy thereof, but without application to business entities.
This one is a "My Cold Dead Hands" amendment:
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to provide that every citizen has a fundamental right to bear arms
and that any restriction on this right would be subject to strict scrutiny; and to provide that no international treaty or law shall prohibit,
limit, or otherwise interfere with a citizen's fundamental right to bear arms.
And in my county elections only TWO offices have more than ONE candidate...even a few Dems are running unopposed.

We are in and of the South. Much less educated posters will tell us how miserable we actually are whether we ralize it or not, that we can't change anything, and that nothing will ever change.
They will do all of this without offering a solution... merely the suggestion to flee because, well... it's just too hard-- and of they can't do anything about it, then no one can.
There is something about the South, it makes you grow roots.
Except for politics and religion ( which most people do not discuss, wisely) there is much to like here,
esp. a readily available small town lifestyle, and much much lower cost of living.
In fact, our entire monthly budget, including mortgage, is way below the average cost of renting a 2 bedroom house on the West Coast.
And we have an acre of land, acres of trees all around, and chickens. In town, yet.
Gotta admit, I DO appreciate having the internet down here, opens doors to a lot of mental stimulation, esp. since we are very extroverted.
To each his own, for sure.
