I'd like to see every anti-gun/gun grabber have one of these signs in front of their house.

It would go like California does. They put one issue on the ballot and everyone running has to take a side-no nuances. Issue one would be voter ID. Issue 2 would be finish the wall. Issue 3 would be school choice(think Covid). Issue 4 would be eliminate the income tax.
Prop 103 got voters off their dead behinds for the first time. Get enough states to get them on the ballot and the other states won't be able to ignore it.
I’d love for us to elect the right people but looking back to 11/3/20, elections, for me here in PA, no longer work. It was stolen.
ONE...Every adult must re-Register to vote with proof if citizenship
TWO...Every voter is tracked, ie, so they only vote once
“The capital should rotate amongst regions and states.”
Very good Ransomed. Bring the government to the people. The NFL got smart and finally did it with the draft. All locals get a chance to get in the face of all reps.
Next will be the individual departments.
I knew that. There’s about thirty or forty more, including abortion.
Come on! We only need 3 or 4! Too many will confuse the voters and more will contradict others. Just pick the lightening rod-thought provoking issues that will stir debate. Eliminating the income tax would raise eyebrows-that’s the start.
Leaving aside the Constitutionality of the process, issue 1 should be a state matter and not a federal one. Issue 3 already exists. You are free to use government funded schools or private schools or home school. Don’t need a referendum for that. For issue 4 how would you fund the federal government?

The presidency of Hunter Biden’s daddy.
Heh... Logic, yeah, like that would even work, even around here...
We’re living inside “Weekend at Biden’s” and if we don’t get this **** fixed with vote integrity, we’ll continue on in to “Weekend at Biden’s II”.
Fit back inside this: Article 1, Section 8
Do that one thing and everything else fixes itself.
Two will be good for now.
The Demagogic Party is a collection of violent rival street gangs. They have their media wing, partisan media shills, who spew DNC talking points and spin everything to the advantage of the DNC. But we can’t have a ballot proposal that says, “all media shills must be offed”.
Or the sign that says, “This house is defended by a gun owner. My neighbor, though, believes in gun control and has no such protection.”
Remember-Prop 103 was California but the whole nation was talking about it. Perhaps several states should pick just one or 2 of these ideas for the ballot. The 9th circuit is now Republican so the left has to try something else.
Too many different issues is too much information. Follow the KISS(keep it simple) method.
Then there’s Virginia and NJ-2 statewide elections ripe for mischief.
No but states could do this. Since most of these are federal issues it would not carry any force but it would clearly show state and federal representatives the thinking of the voters.
It would be advisory.
Rather than a referendum I would call it 'Sense of the Voters' or something like that.
Ursuper is on to something. Just think how GOP legislatures in the swing states can affect the Governors races. WI, Penn, Az, Ks, and especially Mi/Ga. Then there’s the collateral races for the senate: Az./NV./NH./Penn.
We gotta do something.
There is no provision for a National Referendum.
Some fear that such a convention could radically alter the Constitution in ways we might not be happy with. And they could specify that ratification by the states be by ‘special conventions’ rather than state legislatures.
As I understand it, 2/3 of the states would have to agree. The left doesn't have the votes. We might.
Just win the seats first. Those are details.
Universal voter ID
Sodomiage (gay “marriage”)
Federal welfare payments
School choice ($ follow kids to parents’ choice of school)
“As I understand it, 2/3 of the states would have to agree.”
The questions seem to be, can the states limit the scope of the convention when they call for one, or once 2/3rds of the state legislatures call for it, can the convention do what it wants?
The only amendment that was ratified by state conventions instead of legislatures was the 21st—the repeal of Prohibition. Congress must have thought that too many state legislatures were in the ‘dry’ camp for it to pass.
Who serves in the national convention and who serves in the states’ ratifying conventions (if that choice is made)? Dems seem to have a way of gaming the system. Who knows what they’d do?
