"Amend KRS 67.060, 83A.040, 160.180, and 262.240, to require a candidate for county commissioner, city mayor, city legislative body member, board of education member, and soil and water conservation district supervisor to be a natural born citizen of the United States and no other country and a national of only the United States in order to hold each respective office."

This "No-Nothing" xenophobic poison will spread to other state legislatures through the sinister ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) which will make hatemongers like Randy "The Hebrew Ham Sandwich" Fine (R-FL), Islamophobe Laura Loomer, disgraced ex-NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo, NYS gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman (R-Nassau County), shyster Alan "I kept my underwear on" Dershowitz, and AIPAC happy. They despise Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and wish to prevent more progressives, non-whites, Muslims, or Arab-Americans from attaining political office in the US.

It's almost as if they know they can't compete.

So, instead of improving themselves, they simply want to shut the door on people.

Nothing positive for the people but more exclusion.

More exclusion is right.
