I tried to tell folks that Amendments 5 & 6 & 4 were for us citizens to have a say in Government. I actually had a builder tell me he didn’t want 4 to pass because he didn’t want people in the way of his making money from Government projects.
Here we see with 5 & 6 passing and the Democrats and Republicans are challenging our vote, as if they aren’t one of us. They don’t want the people in the way of gerrymandering. We citizens need to make sure they are NOT successful. Only we can keep these political parties in line. After all, whether they like it or not, they are us!
Here’s the story:
US reps. challenge Florida’s redistricting law
Two members of Congress on Wednesday challenged a new amendment to the Florida Constitution that sets rules for drawing congressional districts in Florida, just hours after it was approved by voters.
U.S. Reps. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., and Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., filed a lawsuit challenging Amendment 6 in federal court in Miami. The lawsuit asks that the amendment be declared invalid and stopped from being enforced.
Florida voters on Tuesday approved Amendments 5 and 6 by 62 percent of the vote. Amendment 5 sets rules for drawing legislative districts but it is ignored in the lawsuit.
