Washington Policy Center’s 501C3 Status
“Nothing here should be construed as an attempt to aid or hinder

In honor of that Constitution Day, I’m posting an article out of Florida and asking some questions about the Constitutionality of state efforts to support or oppose state constitutional amendments. Your thoughts, concerns, questions, and/or reactions are solicited.
