TROPHY CASE

Cynthia Dunbar at Ohio's Heartbeat Bill Rally: Roe v. Wade is not Law; Bible Source of Laws (she was on TX Board of Ed 2007-11) - YouTube by shallahin politics

an example of why people need to vote every election or willfully ignorant individuals get elected to your school board and try to pass on that ignorance. no wonder some of the religious right are so convinced those who believe other than they do are willing to go to any length to convert and pressure people to believe as they do because that is exactly what some of them do.

wiki on her http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_Dunbar#Political_career

In 2006, Dunbar won the Republican nomination for the Texas State Board of Education for District 10, saying voters responded to her because she supports teaching intelligent design in science classes.[4] In the general election that year, she defeated Libertarian Martin Thomen, a clerk, with 225,839, 70.38% to 95,034, 29.62%.[5] She did not run for reelection in 2010 and her term ended in January 2011.

Her 2008 book One Nation Under God advocates that the Christian religion should be in the public square more. She has been criticized for a section of the book that calls public education a "subtly deceptive tool of perversion" as well as saying that "The establishment of public schools is unconstitutional and even 'tyrannical'."[6]

In early 2008, Dunbar ran for the Republican nomination for the United States House of Representatives representing Texas's 22nd congressional district, the district formerly represented by Tom DeLay, but she eventually withdrew and endorsed Shelley Sekula-Gibbs.[7]

In late 2008, Dunbar wrote an article on the Christian Worldview Network website saying that a terrorist attack on America during the first six months of an Obama administration would more likely "be a planned effort by those with whom Obama truly sympathizes to take down the America that is threat to tyranny."[8] Though Dunbar was criticized, she refused to retract the claim saying "I don't have anything in there that would be retractable."[8]

Fargo state legislator submits a proposed initiative to make using and growing marijuana for medicinal purposes legal. Finally. by generik777in eldertrees

this isn't a matter for the state house or senate - it will put it up for the entire state to vote on so please start talking it up and once the petition is out tell people where they can sign.

Now that the initiative has been submitted, Jaeger and the attorney general must draft a petition title, or short statement describing the measure by June 1 before the petition can be circulated.

The petition would need 13,452 signatures by Aug. 8 to make it onto the November general election ballot.

Schwartz said organizers plan to supply the petition at events and through person-to-person contact.

Information on the petition will also be available once his group’s website goes live at http://www.ndcompassionatecare.org.
