California needs it...as you know Colorado and Oregon have better law. Also do you know about Senator Mike Gravel and the National Initiative for Democracy?... I'm Mike's daughter and I too understand what Geoge Gallup, Sr said when reflecting on the wisom of The People vs. the vested interests of our Leaders..."on the most major issues we've dealt with in the past 50 years, the public was more likely to be right...based on the judgement of history...than the legislatures or Congress." Let me know if you'd like to connect with my dad, I'd be happy to arrange it. Also there is an international direct democracy conference to be held in SF this summer ... info is available at NewAmerica.org or let me know and I'll get you the details. Best, Lynne Gravel Mosier Pete,
