So, it's illegal to get my 15 year old's lip pierced in the state of Arkansas, even with parental consent.
But the state has no problem forcing her to carry a child to term and become a teenager mother.
Just an observation.

Sign the petition.
Arkansas's turnout among registered voters was dismal. Among people who are eligible but not registered- atrocious.
Arkansas could be blue if we voted.

Overheard by someone who counted signatures at the SOS office:
If your middle name is on your driver's license, but you didnt sign your middle name- it wasn't counted. This was the majority reason a signature was discounted according to them
If true- that's unacceptable.

Dear Texas,
Joe Biden is your President. Your illegally stacked Supreme Court said you HAVE to listen.
-This Arkansan stands with the United States of America.
Well over 200 people froze to death in early 2021 in Texas, of the United States of America. Some of the blame was rightfully directed at Governor Abbott, yet in 2022 they re-elected him. I will never understand it.
We had a huge suprlus but couldnt afford universal pre-k because building a prison, giving Sarah's big raises, and giving the wealthy a tax cut took it all.

1. I'm sticking to my guns. Arkansas is a BLUE state. We repeatedly vote for left of center policies at the ballot box. Thats how we have a lottery, minimum wage increases, casinos and medical marijuana. The problem lies in those who vote for those policies- but then send people
My governor has a PAC in her name. Her father has one called HuckPAC. She uses these two PACs to LEGALLY funnel money into the campaigns of Republicans in the legislature - no longer a separate branch of gov't it seems. These donations, plus future special appointments, are the

Not all country music fans support or think like Jason Aldean. Two of our biggest selling artists of all time are Willie Nelson & Garth Brooks after all.

Baby boomers enjoyed affordable college & living wages. & a tax bill that didnt cover their expenses.
They want us to pay for the college they defunded - & the tax bill they've been kicking down the road on the shittiest minimum wage this nation has seen
Do you want to know how Arkansas got to be dead last in every good metric and dead first in the bad ones? Most of us quit voting. And Republicans have been engaging in voter suppression.
Now we have to re-register people & in 2024, it can't be done online nor electronically.
I ❤️ Arkansas. But it isn't safe here. Not to be a black teenager, not to be expecting a baby, not LGBTQ+, not for minorites. Property & violent crime are out of control. We've been under
@ARGOP
control in our arleg for an entire decade. This is what we've to show for it.
#arpx
It is so ridiculous we are stuck with
@TomCottonAR
, though I would like to contest his eligibility. He & his wife live full time in Virginia. They absentee vote there. Aren't they subposed to have a primary residence in the state? Not just an air bnb apartment that's empty?
#arpx
Attention reporters around the world: our governor is missing and our local reporters seem to be in on it. If you see Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, please reporting the sighting! Sorry, best photo I could find.
Just your reminder that Sarah Huckabee Sanders admitted to lying about Trump's reason for firing James Comey in 2017.
Why did Arkansans choose such a dishonest person to run the state? And now she's stolen most of our money. Congratulations.

If you're anywhere in Europe, keep an eye out for Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Arkansas can't find its governor. Is she at the Olympics?snap a photo for us.

Watching the Fani Willis trial, appalled by the questioning of DA Willis and her father, and wondering how pukes like Matt Gaetz & Jim Jordan avoid the hot seat.
It took 2 weeks of criticisms of our statewide newspaper & affiliates (
@Arkansasonline
) as well as national media coverage before they covered
#podiumgate
, which is now more appropriately known as
#lecterngate
. It took an independent blogger (
@bluehogreport
) to do all of
35 out of 75 counties in Arkansas either have no hospital at all, or one without labor, delivery & birthing. Arkansans die on the way to the nearest hospital that can accomodate them.

So, who enforces your state's constitution when your AG, SOS, Governor, legislature and Supreme Court have been co-opted by a group of zealots/partisan hacks who defy the Constitution? Asking for

Huge churches take up prime real estate and pay no property taxes. Now they want our property taxes to fund their religious schools? And we aren't allowed to pass any laws regulating how our $ is spent. Sure do have a lot of preachers involved in politics now, & it isn't right.
Want to see Democracy under attack? Look no further than Huckabee's Arkansas. People are being arrested by police for exercising their right to petition, mayors are attacking the right in their cities & our own governor created an intimidation gang to go after canvassers.
Hello, lifelong Arkansan here. Registered to vote in Clarendon, AR at the age of 17. I never voted on the LEARNS act. This Arkansan sure as hell didn't vote for
@SarahHuckabee
. When she says "Arkansans" she only means those who voted for her. But there are many other Arkansans.
It's called
#podiumgate
&
#lecterngate
but its about more than a $19,000 podium. It's about the violation of
#Arkansas
#FOIA
laws. It's about altering documents. It's about stealing money. It's about a cover up that cost Arkansans a special session with a huge price tag.
#arpx
For many years in Arkansas, there has been a major effort, backed by Walmart, to defund public schools and funnel public money into private entities without oversight. Sarah Huckabee Sanders made it happen.
#arpx
I'm more educated than Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
And I'm a LIFELONG Arkansan. I've never lived in Florida.
I've also never been a liar for a living.
So, I can tell you, with more integrity, our governor's plans for our state are wrong on every level.
#arpx
Rick Crawford thinks $11/hr or less than 23k is enough for Arkansans to live on a year. But he also thinks that 174k isnt enough for him to "serve" the people of Arkansas.
#ARpx
In my race, I'm the WORKING CLASS candidate, the LABOR candidate.
My opponent lives in a $700k home. I live in a 70k mobile home. I know the struggles of ths average Arkansan, while he takes advantage of people with housing vouchers.
Vote for Change. Vote for Cortney.
#arpx
#Arkansas
Land of Opportunity - my ass.
We have an ABUNDANCE of jobs that pay less than $20/hr. We need real fucking jobs that Arkansans can make a real living on.
But if you keep electing
@argop
, that's all we're gonna get.
#arpx
Arkansans deserve better than Sarah Huckabee, Tim Griffin, Rutledge, Tom Cotton, Jacob Oliva,
@argop
, a corrupted arkansas supreme court, compromised state police, and a supermajority in

Sarah,
Most Arkansans can't even afford a plane ticket anywhere and you're jetting around like its no big between cities that are less than an hour away from each other.
Its abuse of public funds. Start following the travel expense rules Governor.
#arpx
We had over a billion dollar surplus in
#Arkansas
, and it lasted
@SarahHuckabee
about a quarter of her administration. That is if a wire fraud conviction doesn't cut her term short. I'm not sure how we can afford the rest of her term. Fiscal conservatives must be unicorns.
#arpx
If you support donald trump, the biggest p.o.s. traitor this nation has seen, the word "bitch" is being nice. If you stole money from hard working Arkansans to go to Paris & meet with Governor Youngkin, "bitch" is being nice.
If you & your hubby were in on a scheme with
Garland County debating property tax increase. Little Rock debating sales tax increase.
Do you see what cutting the income tax for the wealthy does now?

Don't let a $19k lectern & $700 ice maker make your forget about a $4 million dollar secret, underground tunnel. Another expense with some room for washing tax payer dollars?

Tom Cotton is an imbecile. And an embarrassment, who "represents" Arkansas from his home in VA. He "represents" Harvard as well. We need better representation.
#arpx
Hey,
@SarahHuckabee
could you please quit holding our federal broadband funds hostage? Arkansans around the state lack adequate access, impacting telehealth and job searching and education. Those funds don't belong to YOU.
#ARpx
If Sarah Huckabee had called it like it is- vouchers & defunding public schools, she probably would have lost the election.
That's why she misled Arkansans & called it "school choice" because she couldnt win without deception or it's just a hobby of hers.
#arpx
#SayNoToLearns
Kansas thought they should get rid of their income tax. Soon government offices had limited operating hours, and their schools were failing due to inadequate funding. It did not work. It won't work in Arkansas either.
Tom Cotton's faux outrage about Biden not debating Trump is just ludicrous. Trump just went an ENTIRE primary season refusing to debate Nikki Haley, and
Cotton didnt say a damn word.
#arpx
Wow.
#ARpx
. So get this,
@SarahHuckabee
is closing down pre-schools in
#Arkansas
. The choice has always been build schools or build prisons.
@argop
wants the prisons. They want the govt contracts they pass out like treats to donors. They'd rather see you in prison than educated.
How can anyone ask
@SarahHuckabee
if she is willing to join a presidential ticket? Don't they know the law in Arkansas is she has to carry to term? She can't abort her responsibilities. Maybe she should have thought of that before she made her bed.
#arpx
Our Governor blew over a million dollars for a publicity stunt in Texas, but we can only come up with 1/10 that amount to provide clean water to Phillips County.
@sarahhuckabee
is an awful governor, who cares more about publicity than she does people, especially black ppl.
#arpx
Petit Jean is named after a woman who dressed as a man to enjoy the same rights as one. Do you not think it fitting that a company named after her would disregard the rights of women? Buy Boar's Head instead of Petit Jean meats.
#abortionishealthcare
healthcare is a human right.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders committed a number of crimes. They may have been "white collar," but they were not victimless crimes. Will Jones is denying the people of Arkansas justice. Two tier justice system out at high noon for everyone to see.
#arpx
Jones has acted unethically.
Right now the state government is going through teachers' lesson plans to see if they agree with everything in them. Not the courts, not the federal gov't, not Joe Biden, not

is making decisions on what our kids can learn.

Arkansas wasn't at the bottom of every list in the nation when I was in primary school. In fact, our schools were well ranked. But ever since

Sarah Huckabee wants us to live under her Christian version of Sharia law. She is an AWFUL governor.

Tom Cotton was not a ranger. Tom Cotton is not an Arkansan. Tom Cotton has his own political, religious agenda & aspirations. Tom Cotton is an idiot.
All the roads, bridges & water infrastructure being built- he voted against that.
Why not run in Virginia?
Arkansans should send 4 democrats to the U.S. House of Representatives this November. Our entire delegation is a fucking joke that votes against the interests of Arkansans and in interest of their party, for better or worse.
#arpx
The invitation has come from Republicans. They advertise we have an open border (we don't) and they block any and all border funding. Cotton is nothing but a two-bit liar.
#arpx
Some of yall with shitty home Internet access in

, actually could have fly Internet by now. But good ol' Sarah Slanders froze those FEDERAL funds. She doesnt give a shit about you.

So the state of Arkansas can't afford $15 thousand to pay for AP African American studies exams, but can afford Jacob Oliva's frequent flier miles and hotel points and Sarah Huckabee's on the border publicity stunts?
#arpx
I challenge
@SarahHuckabee
to visit Monroe County, where schools are facing further consolidation and ask people in Aberdeen & Clarendon what unreliable phone & Internet access means for them, because she clearly hasn't made it out there yet. I guess she's still new to our state.
These reporters are a disgrace. I could never be
@PressSec
. I'd be flipping these folks off. Karine Jean-Pierre has nerves of steel. Dear media, stop the b.s. We're still ridin' with Biden, notice yall aren't talking poll numbers this week; must be no ratings in them for you
Is this the platform of
@ARGOP
? It sure seems to be.
1. Lying, thieving, covering
2. Choosing lobbyists over Arkansans
3. Voter suppression
4. Big spending increases
5. Dwindling funds
6. Secrecy
7. Forced religion
What did I miss?

Hand marked ballots will not fix a single problem in Arkansas- but removing barriers to voting might. Arkansas is not a state with a voter fraud problem; we have a non-voting problem.

Dear Arkansans,
Did you know that both John Boozman & Tom Cotton, my favorite Senator, voted against your right to determine your family size, by voting against your right to contraception. In fact, nationwide only 9 Republicans voted for your right to buy birth control.
#ARpx
Can you imagine, in the year 2024, people still using the both sides argument? Are you fucking kidding me? One is the party of healthcare, social security, and workers unions, the other idolizes treason and coddles white supremacy.
