Thankfully, we will NEVER have "rule by referendum" on a national level."

And as a consequence, we will never have anything like California's tax limiting initiative, Proposition 13 (without which, home ownership would be just as impossible in California as it is in New York)

When I was in Florida, we had initiatives approving a multi-billion dollar "super train," one for "smaller class sizes" that has in effect sent property taxes skyrocketing, passed a "waiting period" for firearms purchases, banned smoking in most public places and approved the financing of other boondoggles. Rule by the SHEEPLE indeed.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT AS CONSERVATIVE AS YOU THINK! Adopting "rule by referendum" is SELLING THE PROTECTION OF OUR RIGHTS DOWN THE TOILET! If you can't get the laws you like by electing representatives that actually represent your interests, then you get the politicians you deserve.
