Oh…I just realized that I flubbed up the writing. Thanks Nate.
Out of curiosity, are there any elected Reform Party officials in the US?
LOL
Heck, I still am asking why the whinny, griping Reform Party of Rhode Island has not weighed in on this important matter?
Heck, I still am asking why Rhode Island is even a state. My city council district is larger than Rhode Island. Maybe we should get two US Senators too.
“A federal judge has ruled that a law…” … I’m still waiting, what did the judge rule? The sentence just dies after the law is described.
The suit was brought forward by reps of the Moderate Party of Rhode Island.
Well it is a nice ruling.
One small step in the right direction, one giant leap for maintaining an unequal status quo.
