What about a national ballot initiative?

Tue, May 26 2009 by Bettina Inclan

We at Citizens in Charge Foundation focus on expanding and protecting the initiative and referendum process at the local and state level. We educate voters on the process in their home state and local communities.

There are several groups out there like Vote.org who want to make the initiative and referendum a national process. Using the model of Switzerland, activists want to promote I&R in the USA as a way to reform the political process.

Recently Ralph Nader spoke out endorsing a national initiative process.

The Independent Political Reporter posted a YouTube clip of Nader discussing the national ballot initiative.

What are your thoughts? Do you think America should have a national ballot initative?

I’m all for it! Politics would finally work efficiently if we have laws that apply to everyone rather than just a select few states!
