...you need to change minds and win elections.... that a decade long project at least. Screw that. Things changed pretty damned quick here in Indiana... all it took was the threat of economic disaster.

The General Assembly, however, can change this in a week. WE need to change their minds FAST.

The time for "hearts and minds" is past. Time for action.
