and you’re taken through
“eligibility,” “citizenship,”“address,” and severalother “Next” pages. If you can read, thisprocess is a snap. But back to Brown. “Our local electioncommission website iscompletely renovated,” hesaid, “and you’ll like it. Itprovides forms and sam-ple ballots and other itemsof election information.We’ve worked hard tomake it informative andeducational.” The online address isstill the same, he said:www.monroecountyelec-tioncommission.com. One new addition to itincludes past county elec-tion results, starting withlast year’s November vot-ing and providing federal,state, county, and city re-sults all the way back to2009. Even further, the web-site has a list of officeholders from the federaland state levels – senators,
representatives – pluselected county officials,the county departments,school board members,city mayors, districtjudges, and court officials. One page is devoted tothe 13 voting precincts andlocations. “The site has a lot morematerial now,” Brownadded. “And as electionsget closer the voter will beable to get most of his orher questions answeredsimply by visiting it.” Though voter registra-tion is going online, theother traditional methodswill still be intact (paperregistration) and anyonecan sign up at the electioncommission headquartersjust as in years past. A new development isan emphasis on the youngvoters. Brown explainedthat most voting is per-formed by the “upper de-mographics,” the50-year-oldsters and be-yond. The youth of the
area must become in-volved, he said. So, as one step to at-tract the teens and ayounger demo, Brown andstaff with be taking thecounty’s voting machinesto each high school andholding school electionson site, complete with allthe bells and whistles of anactual sanctioned election. First up, Tellico PlainsHigh School today, Thurs-day, in the school’s alumnibuilding. Students - fresh-men through seniors - willcast electronic ballotsfrom 8:30 to 11 a.m. forclass officers and the foot-ball homecoming queen. The election commis-sion staff will tally the re-sults on site. “We’ll be at SequoyahHigh toward the end ofthe month,” said Brown,“and we are still workingon a voting date for Sweet-water High.

If you happened to getcaught in Tuesday’s thun-derstorm, for a little whileit might have felt likethose folks in Texas did. Imost always write this onTuesday and right now itlooks like Florida mightget hit next. In the north-west states, everythingseems to be burning. Keepall these Americans inyour thoughts and prayers. All the rain we havehad recently put a lot offarmers behind schedulewith their chopping.There didn’t seem to be asmany doves as in the pasttwo years. They mighthave flown further south.Problem is they areheaded right into anothersuperstorm. We didn’t do near theshooting as usual on open-ing day, September 1, butthat did lead to more eat-ing time. Southern dovehunts are as much a socialgathering as it is a hunt.

We did a lot of socializing.Thank goodness forplenty of food and a fewskeet throwers. We stillgot to burn some powder. Somewhere around500 dove hunters andfolks just wanting to helpout a good cause came tothe Robertson farm lastSaturday. There was adove hunt, 5-stand (forthose who just can’t getenough shooting), claycourse, food, and an auc-tion. Everything was free,except of course the auc-tion. If so inclined, youcould donate to the char-ity or spend your moneyon items at the auction. When all was said anddone, $35,000 was raisedfor Children’s Hospital. Agreat big thanks to Madis-onville Primary Care andErosion Solutions forsponsoring the event,Greg Cain and JasonRobertson doing a greatthing helping these kids inneed. Also, thanks to theRobertsons for the use oftheir farm and all theother sponsors for theirdonations, all those whohelped to put on thisevent because a lot ofwork and time goes intosetting up and having suchan event.

Bell(Continued from pg 1) “This assemblage willbe the first national con-vention of the states con-vened since 1861, whenstates met to discuss anamendment they hopedwould avert civil war. Thepurpose of the upcomingconvention is to preparefor an anticipated conven-tion convened under Arti-cle V of the U. S.Constitution to propose abalanced budget amend-ment and to recommend aset of rules under whichsuch a convention wouldbe governed.” “Our nation’s founders,Mason and Madison, in-sisted there be a methodfor the states to amendthe Constitution,” saidBell. “This is contained in
Article V. They said thatat some point in the futurethe federal governmentmight grow to such a sizethat it would become deafto the concern of thestates. Looking at our na-tional debt, which hasnow reached $20 trillion,we as a state have a duty orresponsibility to try andrein this in.” Bell said the Article Vprocess offered the collec-tive states another way topropose constitutionalamendments. He saidconducting a well-orderedconvention under rules es-tablished by historicalprecedent would producea model in Phoenix ofwhat a future Article Vconvention could looklike. The attempt to headoff a sovereign debt crisis
is not a new one. RonaldReagan championed thecause of a balanced budgetamendment in the 1980s. In his 1982 address be-fore a joint session of theIndiana State LegislatureReagan said, "The federalgovernment has taken toomuch tax money from thepeople, too much author-ity from the states, andtoo much liberty from theConstitution." Today, with 27 of the re-quired 34 applicationspassed for an Article Vconvention, Bell was au-thorized to help preparethe nation for an exerciseof the states' constitu-tional liberty, which willbegin to restore a balanceof power between stateand federal governmentsand limit the spendingthat is quickly becoming

experts weighed in onPresident Trump’s execu-tive move to rescind theObama-created “DeferredAction for Childhood Ar-rivals,” or DACA, pro-gram, calling formerPresident Obama’s act“unconstitutional,” echo-ing Obama’s statementthat he had no authorityto end deportations of il-legal aliens, including chil-dren brought to theUnited States by illegalparents. By nullifyingDACA, Trump effectivelyreturned legislative au-thority to Congress, “rein-stating the separation ofpowers fundamental tothe American democracy.” Meanwhile on Tuesday,Trump said he had “greatlove” for the so-called“dreamers,” or the chil-dren of the illegal immi-grants, but he would putthe “hardworking citizensof our country” first whencrafting immigration leg-islation. He added hewould “revisit the issue” insix months if Congress“failed to legalize DACA.” At the same time, theCato Institute reportedon Tuesday – Tuesday
