Adrienne Southworth

Former KY State Senator for District 7 (Anderson, Henry, Shelby, southeast Jefferson) and anyone else who needed an adopted Senator.

5/5: The people's voice is primarily known by their elected reps through passage of laws. Bills to accomplish this ban have died every year since they were first introduced. 2017 HB 342; 2018 HB 258; 2019 HB 211, SB 248; 2020 HB 199, SB 85. Clearly, this fad is out of style now.

1/5: I heard Andy B tried an ex order on "conversion therapy" and checked if he jumped the shark or was more bark than bite. Both. Or his proofreader forgot to edit out the unconstitutional part in one spot but fixed in another. One thing is clear: A Governor is not a dictator.

[Adrienne Southworth @Senate7Ky]

4/5: I must give credit where he says, "All agencies that are not subject to the supervision of the Governor are encouraged to explore all options..." So he is using state time and resources to publish personal interest press releases under the banner of orders.

Sens. @FunkeShelley, @Senate7Ky and @tichenor4ky have released the following statement in light of this morning's troubling comment by @GovAndyBeshear on @MSNBC:

@RaiseYrVoiceKy @StephenKnipper @CGBS6183 @dmwoof @deja_visite_ @KYSecState @KYLantern He's already complicit. He has been fighting me on leakproof election ID since at least 2020 and we could go on all day about other items, such as rescuing voting machines with network connections in 2021 by directly and actively killing our bill to stop them (SB 63).

[Adrienne Southworth @Senate7Ky]

@PastorSchrock Yes, I filed a couple years in a row and more recently some others have been carrying it forward.

@KYSecState @kyhumane Is that a beagle?!?!?! Staying tuned. #Beaglegate

@JanetMa99482929 Apologize I clearly do not get on Twitter often enough! I have not noticed any issues with copies I have read, but the original parchment is quite white, unable to be read now by the naked eye. Beautiful document though. https://t.co/GJK6GxYvgr

1/3 Celebrating today with my annual re-read of the Declaration of Independence. Here is this year's nugget phrase:
"for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance"
Here is the context:
"He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance....

@linuxed48 @GovAndyBeshear @KyCarla Were you able to get this underway? Apologize I am not often on twitter, but if you need help, feel free to email any document showing where you are in the process. [email protected]

3/3 Why have last-day legislative session 9a-midnight, no meal breaks or amendments allowed? "for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance." There is nothing new under the sun. But the answer is here: resist fatigue. Be the birthday candles that won't go out. Happy 4th!

[Adrienne Southworth @Senate7Ky]

2/3 "He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance."

Who knew open records issues or killing good bills were top examples of tyranny?

[Adrienne Southworth @Senate7Ky]

@freedog26 @DwightWitten @catfaninthevill As I explained in amendments and my speech, making a list of items that are torture, that can include things that are not, is ill-written for criminal law. I would have supported the bill even still, if we had tweaked the list accordingly.

Celebrating Resurrection Day!

Section 148 of the Kentucky Constitution requires all employers to allow 4 hours of voting leave. SB 172 would actually make sure this happens by implementing penalties for those employers who violate your constitutional right to vote.

[Adrienne Southworth @Senate7Ky]

The big question right now is, do we protect the public's right to use a non-trackable, non-programmable currency, or do we let businesses start cutting off customers because they have decided they want to pay into credit card fee world?

[Adrienne Southworth @Senate7Ky]

SB130, my bill to prevent Digital Discrimination is having a hearing @ noon in the Sen. State & Local Gov. Com. 26 co-sponsors w/ Sen. Deneen recently being added. If it becomes law you would not have to have smart phones, computers, or CR cards, to interact with public services
