David J Place

State Rep for District 47 Burrillville/Glocester. Whip for RI House Republican Caucus. A dyslexic, so all spelling and punctuation errors are my own.

[David J Place @DavidPlace01]

I am a liberal Republican. Not liberal in the progressive illiberal, statist sense. But liberal in the classical, enlightenment sense as embodied by Fredrick Douglas, Thomas Jefferson and Hayek.

[David J Place @DavidPlace01]

@TomOllie22 Just saying thanks.

This is how East Side Progressives see the Western part of the state.

@DavidPlace01 @EG_GOP Can I bring my straw hat, corn cob pipe and banjo?

@BrianCNewberry @EG_GOP Make sure you slap on your knobs and kick in the 4 wheel drive. Those dirt roads get muddy and tend to wash out.

[David J Place @DavidPlace01]

The Congressman should fire his SM intern. Does he think we’re so backwards in the Western part of the state we don’t have paved roads? Maybe if he was in his district more he would know.

The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.

News flash!!! Government funded program results in high cost for each output!!!! Surprising no one who understands economics and Government interference in markets.

We shouldn’t destroy our society over lies. It’s not “Climate Change” that is denied, it’s the lies Democratic politicians say about it that are denied.

It's the 20th Anniversary of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."

NONE of his scary predictions have come true.

Mt. Kilimanjaro still has snow and Glacier National Park still has glaciers.

Here's why we are not doomed:

@BrianCNewberry Was that a challenge because they accepted it.

Memorial Day isn’t a day of celebration but a day of commemoration. We call out the name of those we remember so they will never be forgotten. It becomes difficult to fully encompass all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice when so many succumb to their wounds, physical and emotional, years and decades later. I know of two names who should be engraved here but are not because they were taken well after the rest of us came home. Not all who fell, fell on the field.

Rep. @DavidPlace01 hosted a group of students from Burrillville High School at the Rhode Island State House today. The students participated in a mock legislative session led by Rep. Place, where they debated and voted on several pieces of legislation.

The courts didn’t nullify an election—they upheld Virginia’s Constitution.
Democrats in the legislature broke the law. In a republic no one is above the law, not even a Governor or a slim majority on a rushed ballot question.
This is exactly how a constitutional republic works: laws and constitutions bind everyone, or they mean nothing. Fair process > raw power grabs.

[Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA]

The Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election and the votes of more than three million Virginians.

These Virginians made their voices heard — casting their ballots in good faith to push back against a President who said he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress before voters go to the polls.

As Governor, I will make sure voters know when and how to cast their votes this year. Because our votes are how we choose the representation we deserve.

@JonDBrien1 @TomIannitti You volunteering?

[David J Place @DavidPlace01]

This is a joke. right?

[The Associated Press @AP]

A musket from 1776 can fire a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet per second.

Imagine what that can do to a human body. Yet under federal and most state laws, it’s exempt from gun regulations. Many antique or replica guns aren’t considered firearms and even convicted felons can own them.

@EnriqueForRI @MSanchezPVD Tell Cecien and Diego I said hi!

Cutting front line positions before strictly administrative or bureaucratic ones is a symptom of disfunction.

[WPRI 12 @wpri12]

More than 100 staff positions in the Providence Public School District — a majority of which are teachers — are on the chopping block in the upcoming fiscal year, new budget planning documents reveal. Details: https://t.co/WQ7WsLHHli

@erickson_68 @igwadolla1 @RobManess Don’t forget MA and them cutting up Boston as well.

“The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.”

@gssasse But primary races and polling numbers.
