I don’t believe this for a second. DemocRATS love the ballot initiatives. It gets rid of the republic and turns the country into a “direct democracy”. (Mob rule). The people pay politicians to do a job. MAKE THEM DO IT! Let’s go back to being a republic again.
They didn’t seem to mind until the people didn’t vote the way they wanted.
Now they want to get rid of it.
Things that make you go........
Democrats only hate direct democracy when it’s opposed to their agenda.
Plain and simple.
This is trying to make it so Prop 8 type initiatives or Constitutional changes can’t be made directly by the people.
They don’t want to waste time in the liberal courts. Perhaps they are embarrassed at how far the liberal courts have to invent ways to thwart the people’s will.
there’s nothing democratic about the democrat party.
I don’t think that they can get away with trying to change the initiative process without having it go to vote before the people.
California is just too big. Cut it in half.
Labor groups have been blasting the radio waves with an ad claiming that signing a petition can result in your identity being stolen.
I’ve got mixed feelings about this, sure you some times get a good initiative that people will vote for but for the most part voters here are as liberal as they are dumb and vote for some of the stupidest things you can imagine that then can’t be undone except by another vote. It’s a liberal hell hole here and for the most part that’s the way the majority of the voters want it. They have gotten the government that they deserve, I just wish I wasn’t part of it but with any luck I’ll be on my way out of here.
Its that damned, “We the People” idea again. Gotta stop it before someone believes it. Kalifornia..please secede...please.
The Public Unions are running radio spots here in Los Angeles, trying to scare people into not signing petitions. They are trying to make people think they are identity theft scams. Of course, the Unions have no trouble getting their petitions circulated by goons, or simply having their pet legislators rubber stamp things for them.
I can’t imagine why the Democrats want to do away with the propositions. If one passes they don’t like, they just get it overturned.
Like they’re trying to do with Prop 8, the definition of marriage proposition. And there was another one recently, can’t remember what it was, that they DID get overturned. Does anyone remember what that one was?
