Like any investment, early, proactive, and disciplined practices are the key to success. As stated before, we have two options, defer action or take action.
If the bill becomes law, it could punish the speech of religious leaders who preach chastity and maintain that sexual activity should be limited to marriage between one man and one woman. It could also punish religiously-affiliated counseling services who counsel patients who do not wish to act upon their same-sex attraction.
Secretary Condos is either intentionally or unintentionally perpetuating the incorrect understanding that intent to move into a district (or back into a district after having established a primary domicile outside the district) is enough to allow someone onto the voter checklist. It’s not.
