We need NATIONAL ballot initiatives!
It's great that Missouri joins the states which have renewable standards for electricity. Here in Colorado we were the first, doing it by ballot initiative in 2004. Now we have huge wind farms and windmill manufacturing.
Checks and balances are good. So most people want direct AND representative democracy. Except politicians, the people who buy them, and the lobbyists between.
The most evolved project for a hybrid direct/representative democracy is led by former Sen. Mike Gravel. Registered voters can now vote to ratify the National Initiative for Democracy at http://Vote.org, much as citizens ratified the Constitution at the Conventions when the Legislatures wouldn't!On The outcomes of environmentally notable races and ballot measures posted 1 year ago 3 Responses
