Where can I find these people? I want to vote for it and give them a donation.

There we are again… The Post doesn’t trust the voters to well actually vote!

sing the petition, and let the people vote!

ps: for some reason Ward Connerly’s money is not as good as George Soros is…

This is illegal; to circulate petitions you have to be a voter; to be a voter you have to be a resident; to have no intention to stay is fraud; they did this with term-limit petitions; I know cause I talked to some at Bread Company in UCity, then Eric Vickers and I investigated; most petitions circulated by four people who showed library cards to register to vote and all gave the same address on S Grand; three others at another apartment; and circulated 60% of the petitions or so; essentially impossible; from a company out of sacramento; Eric and I took to the media and no one followed up; Eric was running for Congress at the time and I was helping him, but it was me who discovered it and did most of the research; it was done nationally; most of term-limit laws are illegal for the same reason; Talked to Sacramento Bee about it, and forget what they said; knew about it but couldnt prove it or something.

Mr Haas,

Money = speech. At least according to the Supreme Court. So I should be able to pay someone else to circulate a petition on my behalf whether or not they are a voter. I don’t see anything wrong with this.

Personally, I think people who have suffered at the hands of the government should be compensated. Where do you prove that — in the courts. So why is the legislature or executive even involved in the first place? And can any of the contractors show they have suffered?

Of course all of this shouldn’t matter — government should not be providing anyone with jobs.

I remember being asked to sign a petition a couple of years ago to put Amendment 2 on the ballot. I declined, but had a nice conversation with the petitioner. She was from Michigan and was being paid for her work.

I don’t recall the Post-Dispatch complaining about the process back then, or having much to say about the $30 + million given by a donor, who stood to benefit from the passage of the amendment.

By the way, any cures yet?

The PD Editorial Board seems to be in denial about the true nature of affirmative action. If based on race it is racist. If based on gender it is sexist. Whether based on age, origin, ethnicity, native language, or any other grouping, affirmative action is discriminatory and devalues individual merit.

If your emotions say life should be graded on the curve, fine. Just don’t invert the results.

Good for Mr Connerly. Affirmative action is one of the most ineffectual and hypocritical frauds perpretrated on minorities and other citizens in decades. Where can I sign a petition?

Does the PD get upset with ACORN’s fraud in KC during the last election? Do they get upset with the “walking around money” that Dems give to their volunteers to collect signatures. That is a pretty big business in Chicago and Philly I know.

No, I think PDs faux outrage is somehow always directly to conservatives….and especially to those that threaten liberal sacred cows. I’m sure the PD is scared to death of Mr Connerly’s efforts since he was so successful in Michigan
.

Yeah, the Post has no problem with paid circulators for stem cell research, casino expansion, darn near anything else the left can come up with … but let a conservative group pay a few bucks for signature gathering, THAT is a scandal worth commenting on.

I want to know who wrote this drivel. Can anyone justify the double standard already pointed out by other posters. How do you not criticize the same actions for the “stem cell” Amendment ? Could it be explained by blatant hypocrisy, perhaps. Or is it just Editorial Privilege.
