Maine Representative Mark Bryant (D-Windham) has introduced LD 28. It would make it illegal for someone to circulate an initiative petition if that circulator is not a registered voter. The U.S. Supreme Court already ruled in 1999 that the U.S. Constitution protects the right of people who are not registered to vote to circulate an initiative petition.
Let us further entrench the control of corporate lobbyists by suppressing initiatives. If people are too unwise to petition then why are we allowed to vote? Could it be voting is so rigged that’s its safe for the entrenched, but initiatives and referendum and recall are too much power for the dumb ‘masses’.
How do you spell revolution?
