Radio Interview on 1901 Constitution & “Thick Book”

WBHM’s radio show Tapestry interviews Mark Berte, Grassroots Education Director for Alabama Citizens for Constitutional Reform on the documentary “It’s a Thick Book” and the shortcomings of the state’s 1901 constitution. You can hear it online from this webpage.

Interesting, for example, on what this constitution costs the taxpayers… Berte says the amendment ballot initiative that we’ll be voting on June 5 is costing us $3.5 million.


FYI, the documentary “It’s a Thick Book” will be shown this evening at 6 p.m. at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.
