vote with a test is to have them on the same paper the voters would have to take
a test every time they .....

people do not understand what exactly is being changed in Charter 85. The
existing lat states that in order to purchase a firearm, the buyer must possess

stored properly, by means of a cabinet or trigger lock. Under the proposed law,

Destroying Waco

My band was going nowhere, and Koresh intrigued me. So I took the card back, and a few days later gave him a call. Over the next weeks I hung out with Koresh and some other musicians in his band. I got to know Koresh and was tremendously impressed. Having never paid much attention to the Bible, I was astonished to find that it actually did have some relevance to my life. And while Koresh had never gotten much in the way of formal education, it was clear that his knowledge .....
