Our Request:
Open Voting System: Require that the election of the Senate Majority Leader be condu…
These individual topic all revolve around the removal of Secret Ballot Voting in areas of government. Individual topics may get buried and not receive the support they require. These topics should be merged so support can be dedicated.
