    Rep. Brandon Prichard (R-ND)

    Direct democracy should not exist. Case-in-point: Ohio legalizing the slaughter of babies. It would be an act of courage to ignore the results of the election and not allow for the murder of Ohio babies. We are probably 10 years away from this opinion being acceptable though.
