Bravo to the unified, laser-focused, activist 2012 Minnesota Legislature for its efforts to save us from the threats to voter integrity and the sanctity of marriage.
I propose the 2013 Legislature continue in that courageous path by proposing a constitutional amendment to ban smoking in the state. Sure, we have some laws now, a patchwork hodge-podge of local and regional laws that can easily be overturned by an activist judge on a whim. What we need is to preserve the safety of our innocent children and the unborn into the future by making "no smoking" part of our Constitution.
Science suggests smoking is at least as dangerous to our children and the unborn as voter fraud and same-sex marriage. We have an equal obligation to look after them with regard to smoking.
Start writing your legislators now, and let's get the ball rolling for the 2013 legislative session. Let's hear it for freedom and less government, and for one constitutional amendment freeing us from the threat of nicotine smoke instead of many willy-nilly, individual laws telling us what to do. Right?
(This is my personal view and is not necessarily shared by the thousands who agree with me.)
