    Say what you will about Kevin Cramer (and it seems there is a lot to say), but he has made himself more available to constituents than most politicians.

    Also Kramer is national... don't want to get into one of those national-partisan-political conversational death spirals.

    Nope didn't mean to take it down a partisan road at all. In fact I don't really know much about Cramer other than over the past couple months he has held multiple town halls which seems to be rare in this day and age.

    Hot Carl is running for Fargo City Commission. He just won't go away. He tried in West Fargo and lost. Now try Fargo

    Al is most likely in favor of this.

    As you know the state wants to increase the threshold from a simple majority to 60% to change the states constitution.
    I guess I didn't know. Has every vote we've had on initiated measures changed the ND Construction?

    When your an all Blue State or Red State you already have enough or to much power. The people should not have a harder time to make law then the politicians.

    In Washington it looks like the fillabuster will soon be history. They want a simple majority for them. 50 plus one for the politicians 60 or is it 61 for the people?

    Power grab, hypocrisy

    No to this measure.

    It's similar to the pissing on the will of the people measure that failed last time

    Filibuster going away would improve democracy. Reforming how we are represented in the Senate would improve it more.

    Of course the filibuster is merely a Senate rule which the Senate can change at anytime whereas making the body more representative is substantially more difficult.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Ten senators represent the 5 most populous states with 123.4 million while ten senators also represent 3.4 million people. Even if you go to the top and bottom ten states in population, the difference in population/senator is 20:1
    It's OK to not be OK.

    I am certain the rural states would want the people in the major cities to determine issues pertaining to them. Oh wait we do, it's called the House of Representatives.
