This past weekend was pretty busy for me, with finishing up one house/cat-sitting gig and getting ready for another, going to a ceramics sale for a friend who's moving to another state, and signing the last two of the ballot initiative petitions I hadn't had a chance to sign yet. (The very first petitions I signed were for the Freedom of Information Act measures; if you have yet to sign, please do.)
Signing the petitions doesn't necessarily mean I'll vote for the measures if they make it to the ballot, but I think it's only fair that they have a fighting chance to get there in the first place. Considering all the barriers to ballot access that have been erected in the past few years (some after failing before voters twice before), I believe anyone who cares enough about the motto of this state ought to actually try to let "the people rule."
