Utah Lawmakers Defend Bill to Bypass Voters-"We Know More Than The Voters"

Utah's Republican senators want to lead the charge nationwide to recapture some of the power state legislatures once held before a constitutional amendment allowed people to vote for their U.S. senators directly.

Utah Senate President John Valentine said SB156, which would allow legislators to pick Senate candidates, as long as the political parties agreed, has nothing to do with sitting Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett.

It's an effort to bolster the power of state leaders, who are more equipped to crack down on unfunded programs foisted upon the states by the U.S. Congress, he said.

"We know more than voters do," Valentine said. "They don't get the chance to hear all that we do." The legislation would also allow lawmakers to "direct" senators by making requests.

Welcome to my little notebook on Christian polygamy. I decided from the start that I wouldn't make this a website that fully lays out the Christian doctrine on polygamy because there are already plenty of good websites that do that - please see the links below. Instead, it will contain aspects of polgyny (one man married to two or more women) that interest me. I also decided that I wouldn't make this just about polygamy but about all the aspects of the gospel that interest me, so it's a personal "scrap book" of sorts. Anyway, I hope you enjoy what you find.
