As a Floridian, preserve your right to do what politicians won't : Vote No on Amendment 4 Opinion

Interesting read

In Florida one way we can exercise our power is by voting to accept or reject amendments to our constitution. Now there is a move afoot to make it almost impossible for citizens to have their say and to give much more power to the already powerful in Tallahassee.

The supporters of this move have amassed a $9 million war chest. They are using that war chest to advance a constitutional Amendment 4 on this year’s ballot, called “Voter Approval of Constitutional Amendments.” How deceptively ironic.

I haven't looked at the amendments yet

Unfortunately I think many voters assume any amendment is a good thing and vote Yes without study or knowledge
