A nice recap of Monday evening's We the People meeting in Nixa by David Rice. Do give him a follow on his Substack for some local wit and wisdom.
From his article:
"A local political advocacy group, the Missouri Republican Alliance and We The People are focusing on efforts to vet and recommend political candidates at local levels across the county, but need to spread this method across the state. Speakers at a recent MRA meeting emphasized the need to monitor elected officials and carefully select candidates of strong moral character who will defend liberties and align with conservative Christian values. We can no longer allow people who aren’t conservatives to pretend to be Republicans.
Tony Petrosino explained the intensive vetting process they use to assess candidates and decide whether to endorse them. This includes evaluating their life experience, principles, voting history if applicable, and responses to questions on key issues. The goal is to weed out those who may not stand firm for their causes.
State Representative Bob Titus spoke to the We The People meeting. Now in his freshman term, Titus discussed limitations freshmen legislators face in pushing legislation, noting only about 30 reliable fiscal and social conservatives among the Republican reps of 110. He reviewed some concerning aspects of the 2024 Missouri budget, including increased spending and billions in federal funds that will eventually require tax hikes when that well runs dry."
Rice's "Baphomet’s Used Christian Lot" is ascerbic and biting and very entertaining. Do read the whole thing:
"Welcome to my used Christian lot, where we promise the best prices in Hell. We have so many models to choose from down here that we need to unload them quickly. We are having a fire sale on these used Chrisitans. So many of them have come down to Hell recently, we can’t keep up with them all."
