... my positions on Current Bills:

12. Urban Regeneration Bill
Undecided (with questions needing to be answered), leaning towards Oppose

It's always nice to see a candidate whose default position on spending bills is to oppose them until they are convinced that they are a good idea.

[Sam Spade]

bump with editing of decision of position on Urban Regeneration Bill.

[??????????]

Sam do you support the Concealed weapons act?

[Sam Spade]

Sam do you support the Concealed weapons act?

Personally, I think it should be a regional issue, States, not a federal issue. 

That being said, I think either you, or anyone else in the Southeast who has the text of the amendment should put the amendment up for the next regional initiative ballot.

I would certainly support it.
