9. You would need to go back and examine the legislative history
of ballot initiatives. The one with the most advertising wins. The ONLY progressive ballot initiatives to pass in California in recent history were the clean water one and one more ( I think open space but not sure) Otherwise, the ballot has been used to play off the ignorance of voters and strap us with horrible laws whether it be trying minors as adults, three strikes or a whole host of other BAD laws including the recent proposition that precluded uninsured motorists from special damages even when an accident was NOT THEIR fault.

Therefore, I respectfully disagree with your assessment.

Look at props 222 and 218. Or prop 22.
