The Common Sense Initiative
Most would agree that the government is no longer of the people, for the people and by the people. The citizen-led reform process of initiative and referendum is the best tool that Americans have to allow their voices to be heard and thus remains overwhelmingly popular.
Given these facts, it’s only common sense that we citizens ought to be in control of our government through a process of initiative and referendum. So CSI will consist of taking this message to the public through: 1)educational events, like the forum in Oklahoma, where the public can learn more about the importance of the process and understand the threats from politicians; 2) motivating pro-initiative leaders in each state to form an organization dedicated to staying on top of the legislature, finding friendly legislators to champion needed improvements, and mobilizing citizens to oppose restrictions on the initiative; and 3) using our national contacts to help each initiative state organize a broad and diverse coalition to speak out publicly in defense of the process.
Through good old-fashioned grassroots political activity, consistent educational efforts in new and traditional media, and an aggressive campaign of litigation, we will protect the initiative process. And with your help, we’ll grow this movement stronger every day.

I feel that we have lost our constitutional rights as Americans. I think this should be sent to everyone in the United States and maybe we can succeed. I listed to the head of the Armed Forces testify this morning that even they are being told what to do in Afganistan and redoing a booklet written by the Obama Administration on how to handle the situation. Look what happened to A,I,G. Now the head of the Auto Industry has stepped down. Also in reference to Health Care we are also going to be told exactly what Drs we can see, what drugs we can take and etc. Something needs to be done with this Obama Government! And very soon.
