Podcasts about amendment one

Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson mark a somber Friday in the Hendrickson Library — the 25th anniversary of September 11th and the one-year anniversary of the passing of Charlie Kirk. Both get a moment of reflection before the episode moves on to the business at hand.The main event is Amendment One. The opposition campaign has officially launched, led by Common Good Iowa and a coalition of progressive interest groups and public and private labor unions. Chris walks through their arguments — service cuts, school funding, emergency response — and finds the same thread running through all of them: a baseline desire to make it easier to raise taxes. John frames it cleanly: these are the tax eaters, and their language of "fully fund" and "invest" is code for more government spending. Chris closes with the complete ITR campaign playbook — no hidden agenda, no complicated counter-arguments. Just a simple message: this amendment makes it harder to raise your taxes, and most Iowans agree that's a good thing.ITR is traveling the state and wants to come to your meeting.

With Labor Day marking the official start of the campaign sprint, Chris and John survey the advertising landscape taking shape across Iowa's major races. What are prevailing themes in these campaigns, and what issues should candidates address?The policy conversation centers on affordability and what's actually driving voter concern heading into November. John references a Washington Times piece on the economy as the dominant issue of the cycle, and Chris draws the through line from federal deficit spending to consumer prices to Iowa's case for fiscal restraint — and for Amendment One. John and Chris also plug a co-authored piece with Tom Sands making the business climate case for the amendment, using Washington state's income tax spiral as the cautionary example.

Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson are back together in studio after John has been out on what Chris generously describes as a paleo-conservative world tour. The conversation opens with a survey of the Iowa governor's race, including a new Suffolk University poll showing Rob Sand with a modest lead over Zach Lahn and Ashley Hinson ahead of Josh Turek in the Senate race. Chris and John assess where the race stands with Labor Day approaching, what issues are actually moving voters — and whether the water quality and cancer conversation dominating the campaign trail reflects what Iowans are thinking about at the dinner table.John brings back a dispatch from the State Policy Network's annual conference, where Iowa's decade of conservative reform was a consistent topic of conversation. Colleagues from around the country — including states playing nothing but defense — noted that Iowa is doing something rare: leaders who said they'd cut taxes and did, who said they'd do school choice and did. Governor Reynolds drew particular praise.Chris closes with a recap of his Iowa Public Radio River to River debate on Amendment One against a League of Women Voters representative. The opposition's arguments — service cuts, police and fire defunding, budget paralysis — got a thorough airing and a thorough rebuttal. The episode ends with the national debt crossing $40 trillion and a reminder of why Iowa's fiscal foundation is worth protecting.0:09 Welcome back & John's return2:36 Trivia4:51 Suffolk poll: governor's and Senate races9:03 Water quality vs. kitchen table economics10:14 Sand's economic program11:44 Lahn elevating tax policy12:59 Is it always the economy, stupid?14:09 What real Iowans are talking about15:46 The ongoing case for tax relief17:57 John's national dispatch19:40 Iowa's reputation among conservative peers20:54 Reynolds and the vision beyond reelection24:23 River to River: the Amendment One debate26:02 Rebutting the opposition's arguments28:30 Washington state: the cautionary tale29:59 The forces that always want more32:13 National debt hits $40 trillion34:26 Iowa's fiscal foundation35:09 Sign off

Is the Constitution built to handle the next 250 years, or is it time for a real mechanism for change? Tom Teicher, a constitutional thought leader, spent years developing a proposal for a 28th Amendment that would finally give structure to Article Five's long-dormant constitutional convention option. Cut to the Chase: Gregg sits down with Tom to break down how his plan would work: 153 impartial delegates chosen by state legislatures under an 80% supermajority requirement, closed-door sessions modeled on 1787, a two-thirds override for Congress, and ratification by direct popular vote rather than the states. They dig into why only 17 amendments have passed in over two centuries, what issues a modern convention might tackle, and why Tom insists the process must stay above party politics.   Join Gregg and Tom Teicher on Cut to the Chase: as they explore Why the Constitution has only been amended 17 times in over 200 years How Tom's proposed 28th Amendment would structure a modern constitutional convention Why delegates would be chosen by an 80% supermajority in state legislatures How Congress and the public would each get a role in approving changes Why the proposal is designed to stay impartial, with no sitting officials as delegates What it would take to keep the process out of near-term politics KEY MOMENTS Introduction: Framing the state of the Constitution at nearly 250 years old Tom's background and how he came to work on constitutional reform Why Article Five's convention option has never been used The proposal: turning the convention into a structured, recurring process How the 153 delegates would be chosen, and the 80% supermajority rule Devil's advocate: could the delegate-selection process be changed or gamed? The history of the proposal, from 2022 to today, and its reception so far How a convention would run: closed doors, open agenda, majority votes Congress's role: reviewing and potentially sending proposals back Ratification by national popular vote instead of the states How a convention might handle modern issues like AI, executive power, and more Keeping the amendment out of near-term politics with a 2029 effective date Historical parallels: Jefferson's 19-year proposal vs. Madison's view Closing thoughts: what one change could preserve the American experiment Tom Teicher is a constitutional thought leader and citizen advocate for reforming Article Five of the U.S. Constitution. With a law degree and a background largely in the nonprofit sector, he has spent years developing a detailed proposal for a 28th Amendment that would establish a structured, recurring constitutional convention process. His proposal has been shaped through public feedback since 2022, including a widely shared explainer video released in 2024 and a written essay published in 2025, and has been reviewed by a constitutional law professor.   Contact / Follow Tom Teicher:  Website: TomTeicher.com   Want more conversations that cut through the noise on science, climate, and the issues shaping our future?

How does public union policy impact you? More than you may realize.  Disunion: The Government Union Report's David R. Osborne hosts Miley Smith, Senior Director of Labor Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute to discuss the impact of Illinois' Amendment One - which grants a fundamental right to unionize and expands bargaining rights. Amendment One is unique in its scope and has led to legislative staffers attempting to unionize, despite historical prohibitions. Smith highlights the amendment's potential to override state laws and its implications for collective bargaining, including the right to strike. Additionally, Smith addresses the diversion of union dues to political contributions in swing states, which may conflict with the political preferences of Illinois government workers.

The Moment is Now takes us to the grassroots campaign centered on reproductive justice - meaning the right to decide if, when, and how to have children. Katrina Rogers's story shows us the potentially devastating impact of Amendment One on lower-income people and people of color. We also hear from Kim O'Brien, a white, economically secure professional, who shares her story of being forced to go out of state to terminate a pregnancy after she learned that the child she and her husband eagerly expected would have severe neurological defects. Her story gives perspective on the burden that restrictive abortion laws impose on parents that may already be suffering, but it also shows that when the state takes away abortion rights, it's really just taking away the right to choose from the people with fewer resources.  Guests: Katrina Rogers - Campaign Manager, Louisiana for Personal Freedoms Kimberly O'Brien - Reproductive Rights Advocate Find Us Online: -Website: https://www.thepledgepodcast.com/ -Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://bit.ly/2FJVtjN -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PledgetoAct -Twitter: https://twitter.com/PledgePodcast

Your ballot this fall has an amendment that will change how districts are drawn in Virginia for the General Assembly and for Congress. Instead of allowing the General Assembly to draw maps, the amendment will create a new 16-member commission to create political boundaries. Critics worry that the amendment does not require racial diversity on the commission, a problem considering Virginia’s recent history with racial gerrymandering. Supporters say the newly created commission is an improvement over the old way of doing things, where the party in power screws the political opponents, just like Elbridge Gerry did more than 200 years ago.

On April 30, a House committee approved Senate Joint Resolution 38, which means voters in Missouri could see CLEAN Missouri on the ballot in August of this year. The League of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri is against this idea. “Voters made their choices,” said Joan Gentry. “And they said ‘what we want to do is see fair maps, we want fair representation.'” Ann Elwell pointed out that the majority of voters in every state senate district voted in favor of Amendment One. “That shows me people are interested in getting rid of gerrymandering in Missouri,” she said.
