support a Constitutional Amendment providing for a national initiative and referendum.

In about 26 states, citizens may either propose legislation or challenge recently adopted legislation. With sufficient signatures of registered voters, such proposed legislation or challenges to legislation go to the ballot where voters may approve or reject them. For instance, when Arizona became a state, supporters looked to the corruption in Eastern states and provided in its Constitution for initiatives and referenda. Another of many reasons for such an amendment is that Congress has a vested interest in not enacting effective campaign finance reform. Only voter action will reduce the anti-democratic use of money in politics.
