| Description | The Alabama Constitution of 1901: Lawmakers have a chance to put rewrite of constitution in the hands of the people

It's time! Indeed, it's past time to let the people vote for a constitutional convention to rewrite Alabama's archaic, unfair, unjust and immoral 1901 Constitution. This document enshrines an inefficient, unwieldy and costly system of governance, encourages racial division, perpetuates economic injustices, shackles education advancement, handicaps local governments and reflects a profound mistrust of the citizens of Alabama.
The state Legislature will hear this message from concerned citizens and a coalition of organizations gathering Wednesday at 11:15 a.m. on the state Capitol steps along Dexter Avenue in Montgomery.
At the Let the People Vote Rally, sponsored by Alabama Citizens for Constitutional Reform (ACCR), constitutional convention proponents will present lawmakers with more than 60,000 petition signatures, all urging the Legislature to begin the process of rewriting Alabama's 1901 Constitution. |
