In this episode we seek to help you understand what's at stake with the ballot questions in the PA primaries on May 18. There are four ballot questions. Three of them are about potential constitutional amendments. The first two, though, are confusingly worded; and so we want to explain why it's a clear YES for both of them!

When citizens legitimize the illegitimate actions of government, no one is following Romans 13.
