Probably not, since the wording of an amendment would most likely say, "An initiative to amend the (fill in name of state here) Constitution..."

I get what you're saying, but I'm wondering if these State by State intiatives qualify as the State initiated process to make a Constitutional Amendment once 33 States pass basically the same bill, like the one that was passed in the 90s, the 27th I believe, that took over 200 years to pass but finally, a 33rd State voted for it and it became an Amendment. I hope these gay marriage bans would be the same. That would remove the RINO and liberal influence in the Congress and take it totally out of their hands. And I believe there are EASILY 33 states that it would pass in, especially sine several BLUE states have passed gay marriage bans. I think it's over 20 states that have it now, or very close to 20. Colorado will be another one. I'll be surprised if it doesn't pass there.
