If we can take care of ourselves, we’re not doing a very good job of it. Ten percent of our state’s residents are unemployed, our schools are in the red, and how about health care? Maybe Mr. Pearce and his ilk should be looking at ways of getting his constituents some jobs instead of bleeding our state reserves dry with pointlessly political rhetoric and propaganda like this Act.

“Freedom” in this case truly is another word for nothing left to lose.
