Even though most people in MA do not support this, they have simply checked out of the political process and did not call their state reps who are not in touch with their constituents. We essentially have a 1 party tyranny with no checks and balances.
With all the furor about amnesty, this almost slipped through the cracks. I fear that in MA, we have reached a point where no Republican will get ever elected to statewide office.
Liberals are afraid of democracy, that is why they enforce their lunatic ideas through the courts which are a lot easier to co-opt.
What infuriates me the most about this is the lack of respect for the people of this state, WE THE PEOPLE, 175,000 signed a petition to get this question on the ballot in 2008 and dimasi and the GOV - DEVAL - went behind the scenes to offer jobs to people who would change their votes.....WE THE PEOPLE have no say in this state no matter how are we try, 175,000 people have just been slapped in the face.
