Every state will have its own demented twist too. Down in Florida, Rats are pretty much shut out of the legislature. So they are pushing constitutional amendments. In 2002, McBride was defeated because he wanted smaller class size but had no way to pay for it. Yet, on the same ballot, a constitutional amendment mandating smaller class sizes passed in a landslide. Soon the Florida constitution will be longer than the Federal tax code.
A few others on the ballot in 2002:
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 8 (subject: "Universal kindergarten") Voluntary Universal Pre-Kindergarten Education
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 10 (subject: "Pregnant pigs") Animal Cruelty Amendment: Limiting Cruel and Inhumane Confinement of Pigs During Pregnancy
Think the pig one passed. Who could vote against it?
