Seitz explains the bill's provisions, including a focus on rape, incest, and life beginning at conception, as well as a push for a pro-life culture in Missouri. Marc and Kim also touch on the controversial Georgia case where a woman was arrested after allegedly disposing of a miscarriage, sparking outrage amid a six-week abortion ban.

I was in Mark 4 this morning reading the Parable of the Sower. The part that caught my attention was, 16 These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises FOR THE WORD'S SAKE (emphasis mine) immediately they stumble. My thought was, why persecution and tribulation for the word's sake. Listen to my thoughts about it on today's episode. Pray your state will do something similar to the state of Tennessee calling people to fasting and repentance before God!

BROWNSVILLE, Texas - State Rep. Janie Lopez says that when appearing at legislative wrap-up events, there is a good reason she does not talk as much as her colleagues in the Rio Grande Valley Legislative delegation.Appearing at the Brownsville Chamber of Commerce's 88th Legislative Update Luncheon, Lopez apologized for having to read her speech.“I'm the non-attorney here. They can talk forever, right? I'm a mental health professional. I listen. Very different. So I thank you for your time and this opportunity to speak with you. I thank you for letting me serve you in Austin,” Lopez said, in her closing remarks.Lopez, R-San Benito, appeared on stage with state Sen. Morgan LaMantia, D-South Padre Island, state Rep. Oscar Longoria, D-La Joya, and state Rep. Erin Gamez, D-Brownsville. All three of Lopez's colleagues are attorneys.In her speech, Lopez spoke about the importance of bipartisanship in Austin and some of the programs that will be helped thanks to the newly-passed $144.13 billion state budget. She also spoke about property tax relief.“My all time favorite (piece of legislation) is dedicating $18 billion to much needed property tax relief for all property owners,” Lopez said. “I want to give a special thanks to Speaker Phelan for including me as a member of the Property Tax Select Committee, as well as Governor Abbott for hearing about the homestead exemption needs that we have down here in South Texas.”Lopez continued: “The burden property tax is a pressing issue that resonates with many Texans. As citizens we face the unsettling possibility of being taxed out of our homes, while potential homebuyers are challenged by soaring property taxes. So to address these concerns, we passed Senate Bill 2 and HJR 2 which represents the most extensive property tax reduction initiative in Texas history. This remarkable legislation brings a staggering $18 billion in relief while complementing the state budget.”Here is an audio recording of Rep. Lopez's remarks at the Brownsville Chamber event.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

Welcome to award-winning The Hill Country Podcast. The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places on earth. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with the people and organizations that make this the most unique areas of Texas. Join Tom as he explores the people, places and their activities of the Texas Hill Country.   It's no secret that Texas farmers and ranchers are facing a variety of challenges. But thanks to the progress made during the 89th Texas Legislature, some of these issues are being addressed. In this episode of the podcast, Tom Fox speaks with Carter Keating, the founder and executive director of Texas Agriculture Connection, a nonprofit advocacy organization, about the progress made during the recent legislative session. Keating explains how House Bill 1750 and House Bill 23 Eight strengthened the existing right to Farm statute, and how House Bill Nine used fiscal policy to access federal resources for Texas to develop and operate broadband infrastructure. Additionally, he talks about the New Water Supply for Texas Fund, which was established to finance water supply projects and develop 7-million-acre feet of new water supplies over the next ten years. He also discusses the Texas Water Fund, which provides funding for repair and replacement of water infrastructure, awareness programs, and rural political subdivisions. Keating also explains the importance of broadband access. He points out that 7 million Texans across 3 million households lack quality, high speed broadband Internet access, which can have a negative impact on education access, health care outcomes, and businesses' ability to compete. House Bill Nine made use of some very smart fiscal policy to put up matching funds to get access to federal resources for Texas to develop and operate broadband infrastructure. The organization also worked on House Bill 2851, which would increase the maximum size of a grant under the Young Farmer Grant Program from twenty thousand dollars to thirty-five thousand dollars. House Bill One, the general appropriations bill, appropriated $500,000 to the Young Farmer Grant Program over the next two years. Keating also talks about his plans to travel across the state to solicit the opinions of farmers and ranchers and other agricultural producers. He explains that the issues for farmers are fairly consistent across the state, with water, broadband, and infrastructure being important issues that span across the state of Texas. In addition to the legislative progress made, there are 14 proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot in November. Texas Agriculture Connection and TAC are in support of voting yes on three proposed constitutional amendments: HJR 126, HJR 125, and SJR 75. Finally, Keating discusses the 18-month period between the end of one regular session and the start of the next regular session. He explains that Texas Agriculture Connection and other organizations will be focusing on hearing from farmers and ranchers about their issues over the next 18 months. This episode provides an insightful look into the progress made in the Texas Legislature and the issues that are important to Texas farmers and ranchers. It's clear that the right to farm, broadband infrastructure, water infrastructure, and young farmer funding and support are all important issues for Texas farmers and ranchers. With the progress made during the 89th Texas Legislature and the upcoming constitutional amendments, Texas farmers and ranchers can look forward to a brighter future.

Pray that our efforts are successful. Tune in the learn more and tell a friend.  Part 2 Discharge Petition on HJR 1 Constitutional Amendment with State Rep. Scott Wiggam State Rep. Scott Wiggam joined his colleagues in signing on to a discharge petition on HJR 1, the constitutional amendment that will increase the requirement for constitutional amendments to pass by 60 percent. Rep. Wiggam was the chair of a special committee that Speaker Stevens concocted back on February 16th after he stalled the measure by not conducting hearings or calling for House sessions in which the measure may have passed before the February 1st deadline to get on the May ballot. Many believe that was the payback that  Rep. Jason Stevens gave to the 32 Democrats in exchange for their votes for his speakership. Speaker Stevens won the speaker's vote with only 22 Republicans and all 32 Democrats. On March 30th he removed Rep. Wiggam from the chairmanship of the Constitutional Resolutions Committee in retaliation for Rep. Wiggam's signature on the discharge petition.  A call to action has gone out, urging legislators to sign on to the discharge petition which will bring the measure directly to the floor for an up or down vote. Call your representative today and urge them to sign the discharge petition on HJR 1, the constitutional amendment increase requirement of 60 percent. https://ohiohouse.gov/members/directory

New Mexico in Focus Senior Producer Lou DiVizio opens the show with updates on several pieces of legislation moving through the Roundhouse: SB 73 would open primary elections to all voters in the state if passed. Right now only party-affiliated voters can participate. The bill passed the Senate last week and now moves on to the House. HB 7 would guarantee access to reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare to anyone in the state is passed. It was voted through the House last week. HB 4 would reform elections in several ways – by expanding automatic voter registration, allowing convicted felons to vote, creating a voluntary, permanent absentee voter list, and enacting the Native American voting rights act. It moves on to the Senate after passing the House last week. Also last week, the House Taxation and Revenue Committee voted to table HB 230, which would increase alcohol taxes by 25-cents per drink. The chair of the committee, State Representative Derrick Lente says they'll have to wait and see if a compromise can be reached. SB 418 would modernize the state's Oil and Gas Act by considering the impacts on the environment and disadvantaged communities. It will go before the Senate Conservation Committee this week. After that, New Mexico in Focus Political Correspondent Gwyneth Doland catches up with three lawmakers to ask about some good governance legislation, including two HJR 2 and HJR 8, which would modernize the state legislature. Then, Gene Grant and the Line Opinion Panel talk through those good governance bills, and debate their potential effectiveness. Gene and the Panel also discuss a SJR 1 which would recreate a state board of education, making that the authoritative body on education, instead of the current system of a single Public Education Secretary. Finally, New Mexico in Focus Correspondent Antonia Gonzales speaks with newly-elected Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren about his first month in office, and his priorities for the tribe through the remainder of his term.

* Guest: Lowell Nelson - CampaignForLiberty.org, RonPaulInstitute.org * A Must Watch: Noncompliant 2 "The Sheriff" a documentary - Krisanne Hall. * The sheriff swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, and to defend the constitution of your state. He is not a hireling of the state. He is elected by the People. He is not there simply to enforce laws that violate our inalienable (God-given) rights. * The sheriff stands up for the right of the minister to hold church, and even promised the minister that he would do so even if he ended up in jail for doing so. The state police versus the sheriff (and minister), and the sheriff won! * Our sheriffs will have more backbone, they will be more inclined to stand up for our rights (to life, liberty and property), if they know their citizens expect them to do so, and will continue to elect them to office if they do so. * Utah HJR 10, Proposal to Amend Utah Constitution - Election of County Sheriffs. * Sam's Sheriff Mike Smith was elected president of the Utah Sheriffs Association. * Smith and the association worked with legislative leadership. House Speaker Brad Wilson and Senate President Stuart Adams sponsored HJR 10 "Proposal to Amend Utah Constitution - Election of County Sheriffs" which means that in the next General Election (November 2024), the people will consider an amendment to the Utah Constitution. * Utah SB 171 Health Care Practitioner Liability Amendments. * Utah HB 131 Vaccine Passport Prohibition. * Utah HB 529 Food Shopping History Requirements. * This is the seventh and final frenetic week of our part-time legislature here in Utah. It is also the most dangerous week because most legislators are overwhelmed by all the bills they are expected to consider in so little time. It will finally be over on Friday, March 3, at midnight. * Putin: Forgive Them; For They Know Not What They Do! * Epitome of Mass Stockholm Syndrome - Gary D. Barnett. * "Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological phenomenon usually attributed to a person or persons who have been taken hostage by one or more people, and during the span of time held hostage, becomes sympathetic and attached to his captor to such an extent as to form a bond or devotion to the perpetrator." * "What in the world will it take for you all to open your eyes to this obvious assault on your lives?"

Some state lawmakers want to adjust judiciary rules in order to move Utah's abortion ban forward. The joint resolution is the latest move in Utah's political chess game around abortion. With the status of reproductive care in flux statewide, the Moab Abortion & Reproductive Rights Network aims to connect locals to information and resources. Plus, after Utah banned transgender minors from accessing hormone therapy or gender affirmation surgery, the ACLU of Utah plans to sue the state. And later, some of the best snow in the nation right now is covering the Grand Mesa just outside of Grand Junction, Colorado. // Show Notes: // Photo: A collection of buttons at a fundraising event held by the Moab Abortion & Reproductive Rights Network.

Brandon Butler and Nathan “Shags” McLeod sit down to discuss the fight for conservation that is happening in Missouri and across the country.In this podcast you'll be transported to a recent house committee meeting discussing HJR: 107. There's testimony opposing the bill from the Director of Missouri Dept. of Conservation, the Executive Director of Conservation Federation of Missouri, and Driftwood Outdoors Brandon Butler. There will also be testimony in favor of the bill from State Reps and others in attendance. The fight for conservation is real.

Today we hit some headlines and then jump into the weekly Top 3 with Brad Keithley from Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets. We'll discuss HJR 1, the proper use of ARP funds and the K12 budge issues. Then we'll chat with our PMA guru Chris Story for our weekly life coaching lesson.

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Next year’s primary elections so likely to be delayed that the Senate passed a bill with with a selection of new dates for filing to run, the primary and run off elections. Many gun and Second Amendment related bills made it through committee in the Senate but Constitutional Carry was not one of them. Rep. Slayton says his border wall bill, to have Texas complete the wall and bill the feds, will not get a hearing in committee by Rep. Chris Paddie effectively killing it. Texas Alliance for Life demonstrates why I call it a pro-life group to give cover to those who are often not pro-life in attacking Senator Hughes’ SB917. That bill makes needed changes to how end of life care decisions are taken by hospitals and other healthcare providers. The alliance claims our broken system, which gives patients and families little due process, is a “successful” dispute resolution process and that changing such will set the pro-life movement back “22 years.” Sickening. Texas Right to Life is right on this one. Bond/bail reform HJR by Kacal heard in a House committee. It is a tricky issue but judges do need a way to better make judgment calls. Texas Democrats and their front groups argue for giving “direct payments” to Texans “hurt” by the winter freeze and to use our state Rainy Day Fund as the source of the payments. Meanwhile, ERCOT sues to enjoy protection against lawsuits through sovereign immunity. And, Senator Hancock argues for bill that would let power companies borrow from the state at higher than market interest rates. It’s a bill we really do not need. Plus more news of Texas. www.PrattonTexas.com

Tom talks about HJR 53, which focuses on transgender students in sports.

On this week's conversation, Paul and Wally discuss the fact that New Mexico's COVID situation continues to improve. More counties are moving into turquoise, green, etc. When will the Gov. relinquish her powers? There's no indication of that. Paul works out with a mask on for the first time. The mainstream media is starting to acknowledge that lockdowns haven't done anything to improve COVID outcomes.  NM unemployment rate is 8.7%, 48th in the nation. There is a clear pattern among the lowest and highest unemployment states.  The New Mexico Legislature is coming down the stretch with its conclusion on Saturday, here are some bills/issues to watch: HB 291 is an economically-harmful tax hike. Recent changes make it even worse. Plus, why is the Legislature considering raising taxes with a surplus AND federal money flowing into NM? The mandatory paid sick leave bill, HB 20 is likely to pass. It is headed to the Senate. The bill makes no exceptions for small businesses. According to the New Mexico Chamber of Commerce, it would apply to babysitters, a leaf-raker hired for a single day’s work or a mom-and-pop shop with one part-time employee. All employees would accrue at least one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked, capping at 64 hours annually. It wouldn't apply to government workers. SB 42 pension bailout for the Education Retirement Board is unhelpful.  HB 4 Civil Rights Act ready for final passage in Senate.  The Legislature still hasn't passed a budget although initial appearances are that the Senate will go with pay hikes for state employees. Could there be a special session? SB 130 which would have mandated that 75% of New Mexico's fleet vehicles be electric failed in committee over the weekend: No action will be taken this session on constraining Gov.'s powers. No bills OR the constitutional amendment are moving. Trouble for HJR 1 pre-K amendment and pot legalization? Rail Runner took a year off but you'd never know from looking at their budget.  What energy sources REALLY failed a few weeks ago in Texas?

We discuss the coronavirus outbreak that is sweeping the country (and how it's being handled here in Oklahoma), a bill to outlaw child marriages that both failed and passed in the same week, a cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for state employees, and an update on HJR 1027, which would affect ballot initiatives.

On this week's podcast discussion which is being recorded near the midpoint of what is shaping up to be a very busy 30 day legislative session, Paul and Wally start by discussing the so-called "Red Flag Bill" which has been introduced in the New Mexico Legislature. SB 5  passed its first committee, SenatePublic Affairs. All of the Democrats voted for it (including Liz Stefanics and Jeff Steinborn). All Republicans voted against the bill. Spurred in part by this legislation a rally was held at the Roundhouse against Red Flag bill and in favor of gun rights on Friday. RGF was in attendance. SB 60 and SB 201 by George Munoz would change the requirements of who serves on the PERA board in a good way SB 72 which actually makes the pension changes made it out of Public Affairs Committee (Stefanics and Sedillo-Lopez voting against). You can read the editorial that Paul and Len Gilroy wrote on the issue here.  Paul and Wally further discuss NM’s PERA system which has created a large number of millionaires: https://errorsofenchantment.com/nms-10000-pera-pension-millionaires/ Social Security bills move forward in legislative committees, but as the AlbuquerqueJournal reports, they are “gaining momentum,” but according to Speaker Egolf are "unlikely to happen" because all of the surplus money has been “spoken for” by the various agencies. HJR 1 to tap permanent fund is again moving in the session, but a leading expert from the center/left Brookings Institute throws some cold water on the idea that pre-K is going to work wonders for New Mexico students. HB 173 which would massively increase New Mexico's gas tax moves forward. SB 110 which is a massive giveaway of power to government employee labor unions passes Senate Public Affairs Committee. Is this the unions' a quid pro quo for pension reform? A federal judge has ruled against the Rio Grande Foundation in its suit over donor disclosure in the battle over Santa Fe's soda tax saying that we didn't prove we were harmed. The Foundation has already appealed.  

Paul was up in Santa Fe last week talking pension reform along with Len Gilroy, a pension expert with Reason Foundation (episode 121). Unfortunately there are a number of RGFpriorities already being pushed aside. SB 110 is an early candidate for worst bill of 2020. Taxpayers Bill of Rights Bill introduced as HJR 5 by Rep. Rod Montoya. How is it different or similar to what Colorado has?  Rep. Javier Martinez is now the co-chair and heir apparent as chair of the powerful House Tax and Revenue Committee. What does this mean for New Mexico tax and economic policy moving forward?   Paul discusses serious concerns with the proposed Route 66 Visitors Center in Albuquerque and how the finances just don't add up: https://errorsofenchantment.com/the-abq-journal-is-right-about-rt-66-visitors-center-being-a-boondoggle/ Finally, oil prices are down significantly since early January. We don't know if they are destined to go lower or if this will be a sustained drop, but the change in oil prices could have a big impact on New Mexico.

Rick and Keith are joined by Steve Vernon, an FLCA board member, to catch up on some of the bills in Tallahassee. The first is HJR 157 which is about term limits for school board members. Next, they discuss HB 265 regarding parental consent for abortion. Also, HB 341 which talks about the study of the Bible and Religion. These are very tough and controversial bills but what exactly are the details and how good a chance do they have of passing? Follow These Bills HJR 157 HB 265 HB 341

This week, Deb sat down with Representative John Carpenter to discuss HJR 48, legislation that would further alter the Clean Missouri initiative that was overwhelmingly passed by voters just months ago. Deb and John discuss the process of drawing electoral districts, and how gerrymandering negatively affects everyone, not just the minority party.

Rep. David Guttenberg, District 4, shares his project Alaska Voice on Marijuana Policy. It is one avenue, where we as Alaskans, can have input on the resolution process going forward through HJR 21 "Feds Respect State Reg of Marijuana". We also talk equal access to broadband internet access in AK.

Texas State House of Representative Member Trent Ashby (R. Lufkin) joins us to discuss HJR 61 - commonly referred to as the "Texas Right To Hunt Amendment".
