The Massachusetts Legislature uses unconstitutional “informal sessions” to pass outrageous laws affecting every citizen
Mandates to raise health insurance costs, imposing radical agendas, spending millions on pet projects, and more.
As few as 1 or 2 Senators or Representatives meet and “pass” bills before an empty chamber, pretending there’s a legal quorum. It’s all run by the leadership. Both parties are part of the scam.
What are “informal sessions” (and how can they be ultimately derailed)? Here's an explanation.
If you live in Massachusetts, consider stepping up and being part of the solution to stop this!

Corrupt "informal session" in June, 2024 where three state representatives (standing behind podium, with staff and guards) met before an empty chamber for 14 minutes and voted on 15 bills. [Photo from State House video]Some of the recent laws passed in informal sessions (more reports to come):
Four new laws that will RAISE everyone’s health insurance costs – while the Legislature caters to special interests.
All nursing homes in Massachusetts must now include & celebrate full LGBT agenda.
$730 million of “supplemental budget” items - a complicated slush fund of pet projects.
Strange (and far-reaching) “midwifery” law that will affect all residents by adding more bureaucracy and raising insurance costs.
Here’s how citizens have started taking action
Pro-family activists go door to door in State House demanding answers from politicians - after radical bills are passed in informal sessions.

Besides informal sessions: Here's what else Massachusetts state government has been doing to its citizens
Massachusetts state government seems to be at war with normality and families.
Massachusetts Legislature unanimously passes radical LGBT “parentage equality” bill to redefine the family changing the word "mother" to "birthing person" in state law - and more!
State-funded “Mass. LGBTQ Youth Commission” calls for legalizing teenage prostitution, lowering the age of sexual consent, and more in its new report

More well-known outrages that the Legislature enacted recently in full "legal" sessions:
- Over a billion dollars to house and feed illegal immigrants.
- Taxpayer-funded free tuition to state community colleges (including for illegal immigrants).
- Elimination of nearly all restrictions on abortion and allowing girls of any age to get abortion without parents’ consent.
- Taxpayer-funded free tuition to state community colleges (including for illegal immigrants).
- An extreme anti-gun law that is clearly unconstitutional.
- Taxpayer-funded “sex-change” operations.
(What do these have in common? None of them were passed because average people in Massachusetts were asking for them. All of it was done to please well-funded political special interests. These special interests are skilled and aggressive at lobbying and have agendas that are completely disconnected from the desires of regular citizens. But they have far more influence over our legislators than the citizens who elect them.)
