"This is just to keep the voters from having a say."

Does MA not have an initiative petition process? In OK we can circulate petitions and if enough valid signatures are gathered, have something voted on by the people as a "State Question." If the question passes it ammends the state's constitution.

Yes, we have a ballot initiative process here in MA. But our Politburo is more than willing to utterly disregard a referrendum outcome that they don't agree with.

Does MA not have an initiative petition process?

Yes but since the State SC interpreted the State Constitution as allowing gay marriage (would have loved to see that run up the flag pole in 1700) the Amending the Constitution is needed requiring a mjaority of both houses in special session in consecutive years.

[Andy'smom]

Yes, we do have an initiative petition process and this particular petition was delivered to the legislature with more than enough signatures at least 3 years ago. The legislature ignored it.

Yes we do, and did just that, but they tied it up in committee. Illegal, but they did it. That's why Finneran is gone.

Everything that they have done regarding this matter in MA has been done illegally. That's why they are trying to remove the Judges who imposed it on the state.
