Who are we?
A group of voters from across the political spectrum who believe Citizens should play a greater role in the policy process & that the best way to achieve this goal is to ensure that every state has access to Referendums and Citizen Initiatives.
What are Referendums & Initiatives?
Referendums & Initiatives are forms of Direct Democracy; a tool that allows Citizens to vote on issues rather than representatives.
What's the difference?
A Referendum is a proposal by elected officials
A Citizen Initiative is a proposal by Citizens, usally via a petition.
In both cases, Citizens vote on an issue. The difference is in who proposes the vote.
Why?
We want to empower the millions of Americans who have complex views that don't fit a single party.
How do we do it?
We push for a consitutional amendment that requires each state to provide mechanisms of Direct Democracy.
