As for the process I do believe that if the referendum was to pass and there wanted to be a change to it to create two-year terms, the process would be to get the 5,000 signatures for new referendum to change it to two yearterms and then have that referendum pass. I think the only other way around that is a state statute but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Stan, you may be able to comment on that but I'm pretty sure that's the correct process.

Well citizen X when you have any proof of anything I've ever said that's hate filled I'd be happy to hear it. If you consider calling corrupt officials out as hate failed then guilty as charged. When you have poor folks in the city of Washington that can't even get vouchers but you have a Housing Authority run by the mayor's wife that take trips every year for hundreds of dollars a night rooms at hotels for so-called affordable housing while kicking people out of their homes days before Christmas hate-filled then guilty as charged. For all the talk of how horrible a person I was as a candidate I actually got more votes as a city council member running as a republican than the history of Washington but due to the very high turnout I did not cross the finish line though got very close 60 votes short. Stan and I agree on almost everything when it comes to political issues. Our only difference is on Hood who I consider a hate monger and an embarrassment to the party. We are certainly entitled to your views though I certainly can tell by your post that you do not have any of the interests of the Republican Party or moderate Democrats and unaffiliate voters in mind so I think I'll pass on your advice. I'll choose to continue to promote business growth in Beaufort County a better quality of life cleaner environment and lower taxes. I'm also not going to back down from bullies and those that think that they are entitled to government action or to privileges as part of the martini sipping crowd.

Some have raised concerns that the broad definitions of the activities would criminalize church security teams, gun training endeavors and firearm ranges, and other private actions.

Gary Ceres who never hesitates to spread his warped & hate filled vendetta on public platforms, reminds me of the high school mean girls who make fun & games, while using their "Stinking Thinking" to bring strife and division to the vulnerable public, & in particularly Stan Deatherage, whom they think is so weak, that their words can turn Stan against his friend, & fellow conservative, Hood Richardson.

WHY th local GOP party, hav appointed Ceres 2 be their appointed liaison & representative, to assist 2024 candidates, is a mystery to me. Surely, they can see that he does not have an honest and fair-minded personality to do that job properly. His actions reflect poorly on the local party. He should resign or be fired.

The totalitarians are trying to get their foot in the door to take your guns without due process. This bad idea needs to be destroyed before it gets expanded. The arrogance of Fuehrer Biden in doing this by degree without going through Congress just reeks of a dictatorship mentality.

Big Bob: Just know this, if it is just you and me in that room you proposed, I will always be the "'smartest' person in the room;" and, by your words here - data stored and Searchable - this is not even a contestable point.

Not a bad plan Stan. Preferable to the current system. I prefer the district sysstrm but could see this as a viable plan as well.

We need a coordinated GOP effort in the urban areas that focuses on inflation, inflation, inflation!

Stan you have this exactly right! The states are responsible for picking up the slack when the federal government refuses to do so. Every state has the right to come to the defense of another state when sovereignty is at issue. Your resolution is not only necessary but should be supported by every single conservative and Republican but not only conservatives and Republican but anyone that gives a damn about the country and that includes Democrats and independent voters. Well worded.

I agree with you John Sneed I do prefer to have two year terms rather than the four years I think that that is probably the best.
