Alford says he doesn't know the credentials or experience of the nominee to lead intelligence operations. But since he's loyal to Trump, Alford says he must be the best man for the job.
Seems our GOP supermajority in the state legislature and every statewide officeholder should have done something about this! Or maybe even our GOP Congressmen when voting to cut programs that help small businesses!
LABOR ALERT: Brothers & Sisters - our freedom to hold politicians accountable through the initiative petition is under attack!
Amendment 4 would take the power AWAY from the people while giving more power to politicians in Jefferson City.

It means less representation for millions of Black Americans and other voters of color, as lawmakers gain greater ability to manipulate their districts. There will be more extreme partisan gerrymandering, lopsided elections, less accountable government, and policies that hurt rather than help with everyday life.
But this is no time to be demoralized, because we know it does not have to be this way. We can mobilize around reform, new laws, and where necessary, constitutional amendments for fairer government. Only then can we feel the benefits of a balanced Court, a truly representative Congress, and an election system free from the distorting power of extreme corporate and partisan manipulation.
