I am offended Indiana is not included in this. Sad We in Southern Indiana consider ourselves part of the South.

We don't have registration down to the intrastate region level yet, though. If we had it, Southern Indiana would be in, but as it is, we can't do that.
Oh, just include the North as well. Wink

See, we'll have every Tom, Dick and Harry wanting to vote in our elections. I love tmth but he is in no way a good southern boy who enjoys playing golf, wearing colorful clothes and eating collards and fried chicken on Sunday afternoons, but if we pass this bill, he'll have his filthy Midwestern hands all over our ballot boxes electing politicians with Indiana accents! This bill is anti southern and I will not leave this state house till its defeated!

I refuse to let my character be attacked! More lies from Duke! There's nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than friend chicken and dumplings. Fact.

Friends, this is just a prime example of carpet baggers from Indiana coming into our beautiful southern land trying to influence us. While tmth makes an effort to highlight his "knowledge," and I put parenthesis around that word for a reason, he fails to state that chicken and dumplings (spelled dumplin's by any good southerner) are only eaten on SATURDAY afternoons when you visit your grandmother. He also fails to highlight that these dumplins are made with biscuit batter and not "frozen dumplins" most indianians buy while wearing Hoosier shirts and wearing those silly stripped pants.

I will continue to crusade for the rights of true southerners . This bill is an abomination to all the beautiful southern girls, guys and puppy dogs who populate our gorgeous land. I was elected to defend this region, and with God, Jesus, and BushOK as my witness, I take this fight to the streets if my current sit in at the state house fails. And trust me, you don't want to meet me on the cold, hard streets.

Representative Duke claims to be a champion of southern people. To that I have this to say:

Below is a map of the south.


The dark red are southern states that can participate in southern elections. The light red are southern states that may not. In Duke's fight for southern rights, he prevents a full 31% of the south from participating in southern elections. Now I will admit that carpet baggers are a valid concern but one that can be fixed by changing a bit of the language in the bill.

Then write a bill that would allow those states to join our region. I am not arguing that the people in Virginia, West Virginia and the like are NOT southern. I am arguing merely that allowing people in those states to vote not only in their own regional elections but in the DS elections as well is ridiculous, and probably not constitutional. It would also open the door for anyone in other states not in that map who have southern roots to claim to be part of us.

In the past, I have supported regional realignment to bring in southern states that are in regions like the MIDEAST and MIDWEST, like Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. I support them joining this glorious place. I do not support allowing them to have a say in what we do or who we elected until they become part of our region. No state citizens should have the right to have essentially 2 votes. We aren't disenfranchising anyone. Any claim that anyone who opposes this bill is supporting voter disenfranchisement is a joke and just puffery to support this bill, because it does not have any legal or logical reasoning behind it whatsoever.

The People's Paper will have an article on this later.

What about Maryland and DC? (Maybe not Delaware, cause that'd just be an invitation to NE carpetbaggers).

This bill is clearly out of hand. Maryland has southern aspects to it. What Rep JBrase also fails to recognize is this is ATLASIA, and in ATLASIA, those states are not in the south. I don't care what Americans thing. Beyond the walls of these threads, we are all Atlasians. And the states in the south in Atlasia are all southern. The rest are mid eastern/midwestern, even if we argue otherwise through our American lenses.

I would also like to know how this bill is even constitutional since it gives people two votes, which is only a right given to people in those states listed. Even if this chamber ignores my warnings and my protests out on the front steps of the statehouse and passes this bill, I will take it to court, pay off any judges I can, and have it defeated!

As you can see friends, even carpetbaggers like Tmth know the truth behind this bill: a ploy to allow the entire country to vote in our sacred elections. If we let the mormons into the fray, we may as well disband and go join whichever region we wish. I guess that means I will join the "independent" region.

I am offended Indiana is not included in this. Sad We in Southern Indiana consider ourselves part of the South.

Though in all seriousness, is this Consitutional?

Some of us in Northern Indiana have extensive southern heritage. My own family(the non-native parts) emigrated from Germany and lived in North Carolina. I even had relatives fight for the Confederates. The only constuitional way would be a redisctricting which many oppose.

Thank you. Because of logical, sound individuals like you, this bill will go where it belongs: in the trash can with all my liquor bottles.

I will enthusiastically support this bill, assuming it remains exactly as proposed, of course. I'm sure several of my Midwest Labor friends would love new vacation homes in Oklahoma.

Think about all that nothing you'll see! Nothing on the horizon, nothing around you - no buildings, trees or civilization of any kind. Just the thought of it puts me into a state of uber-relaxation.

It puts me in a state of panic. I'd probably go insane if I was out in the Oklahoman plains.
