VOTERS UNITE! VOTE YES TO CHANGE CONNECTICUT'S CONSTITUTION! WITH BALLOT INITIATIVE THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS ....
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Thank you for visiting our website. On November 4th 2008 all Connecticut voters will have an enormous opportunity to truly change our state government for the better. Per ARTICLE 13 Section 2 of our state Constitution every twenty years the ballot question, "Shall there be a Constitutional Convention to amend or revise the Constitution of the state" be placed on the ballot for your consideration. Our mission is to inform and educate as many people as we can that it is extremely important for them to vote yes to this question. If the yes votes win then it will be incumbent upon the state legislature to convene a state Constitution Convention. It will be in this arena where we can implement Initiative Referenda as a mechanism and amend our state Constitution for a 31st time. Direct initiative is Jacksonian democracy at it's best. Lets provide the people with an option to petition issues if they so choose, lets let the people decide! Please read on to see how Initiative Referenda works, its history in our country and why through a mountain of research and evidence it has been proven to be a positive policy implemented by other states. Matthew M Daly
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." |
