Absolutely! Way too much out-of-state dark money is buying constitutional amendments and creating intended unintended consequences during off year elections with small voter turnouts. Amendments should require super majorities (66%) and only take place during presidential elections. FJB

Max DeYoung

Our Constitution is the strength and security of our Freedoms. Any attempt to alter it by a slim majority, is a direct Assault on our Freedoms. Protect our Safety and Freedom by protecting our Constitution.

Dark money is an excuse to prevent we the people from correcting mistakes the state government has made.

Carl-Hermann Freese

Because the people need dome direct control

John Starke

Representative government relies on the voice of the people being heard. Constitutional Amendments are a very important method of making that happen. No wonder the people in charge want to diminish this right of the people. It interferes with their plans for authoritarian rule.

The Constitution should be the bedrock of our democracy, not a 50.000001% out-of-state dark money, pay petition gathers and buy an election with false advertising gimmick. It should take way more signatures to get on the ballot and 75% of the vote during a presidential election for a change. FJB

Max DeYoung

It should be made more difficult to amend, this will preserve it's strength.

Bill Clugston

It's too easy under current law.

Zaos Gonzolez

Taxes are theft. You have been robbed.

It's a power grab. Anyone can see that.

Harry D

Grabbing power away from the out-of-state dark money liberals who can't get their simps elected to the legislature and giving power back to the people where it belongs.

Timothy Johnson

Because the Republicans want to control the voters instead of the voters controlling the government.

Harry D

You can't possibly believe that. Everyone knows these initiative petitions are bought and paid for by out-of-state special interests who are very well funded. Constitutions should only be amended on rare occasions and it should be difficult to do, not easy to buy.
