louisiana constitution rewrite : this must be stopped

[rampartc]

On a party-line vote, the Republican-controlled House and Governmental Affairs Committee passed House Bill 800, which calls for convening a two-week convention next month to rewrite the constitution. HB 800 advances to the full House for consideration sometime soon.

1. Can't stop it... but the timing puts the results in front of the voters this fall

“On a party-line vote” makes it sound to most readers like a close thing. But one party has a supermajority

2. up for a vote in november

with trump probably carrying louisiana 70/30 and every yahoo in the state at the polls .

to write a constitution in 2 weeks would be an ambitious project if they did not have the damn thing already written.
