Governor Ventura has vetoed a bill that would have required public school students to say the Pledge of Alligance at least once a week. In explaining his veto, Ventura said patriotism should come from the heart and should be voluntary. The governor had hinted he might veto the bill, once comparing a Pledge requirement to the indoctrination practiced by the Nazis and the Taliban. Republican Senator Mady Reiter was a chief sponsor of the bill, and she joins us now. That's Republican State Senator Mady Reiter.
