Oregon, Washington and I think California, maybe more, have ballot initiatives that can bring things to a vote by the people. I think that’s why we have all mail in voting here in Washington, so we can read about the initiatives. In a pamphlet for all elections, they have the person who brought the initiative make a statement, the against people give a statement on why it’s a bad idea, and then they both rebut those statements. It’s a pretty cool system. Corporations sometimes portray themselves as small, grass roots people bringing up the initiatives, but overall it’s used for good.
