The full text of SB 409 has not been posted on the Missouri Senate website, but it appears Sen. Gary Nodler, R-Joplin, was more than slightly irritated that he had to spend a little bit of his massive campaign war chest fending off a challenge from independent candidate Kim Wright in 2006.
According to the bill's summary, SB 409 would require "independent candidates in general elections to file a written declaration of intent to run for statewide office, Congress, the state Senate, state House of Representatives or Circuit Judge."
The bill had its second reading Feb. 1 and will be heard before the Senate Financial & Governmental Organizations and Elections Committee. The chairman of that committee is Sen. Delbert Scott, R-Lowery City.
Ms. Wright's decision to file as an independent came after the deadline for filing as a Democrat, Republican, or Libertarian.

WHAT A CHICKENSHIT!
Isn't this interesting. The man is obviously afraid of competition. How funny. What a dork. I understand that the idea of an independent candidate arises when neither Rep. or Dem. candidate is thought to be the best person for the job. How threatened he must have been to file this.
I think he should fine tune this bill to include a Ban on Retards In Public Theaters.
I would really like to hear from Nodler why he thinks this is important.
Any way you slice it, it sounds like a way to derail the democratic process.
Nodler may say the parties have deadlines. But who says you have to be a party candidate?
If he banned retarded people from being in public theaters, then he would never be able to go!
I think we should write old Gary a song and the first line should say 'Go away Gary far, far away'.....
Really what a whinebag scaredy cat he is!!
His picture is making me ill.
