ballot amendments I would like to see

1.  Do away with early voting.  Instead of trying to push photo ID to vote, lets push indelible ink and one day voting.    Require that mail ballots be mailed out only (may already be in place, but if not it should be)

2.  Any church, school or business that wants to be "gun free" zone must provide (armed?) security guards.

3. Personhood amendments should drop life begins at conception and set "personhood begins at 16 weeks" as the language to start (moving to drop to 12 weeks --the original court with saying no restrictions in first trimester had it about right)   -- wiki is probably not very accurate, they are saying the SCOTUS amended this to don't restrict before viability.   I know some states allow abortions that late but I don't think all states have been forced to follow that, perhaps the SCOTUS went to 16 or 20 weeks as the cut off point"   I need to know what the current law is.  

  I think we should never outlaw "plan B" BC pills cocktails and probably not RU-486 or whatever that acts up to 8 weeks, but I cringe that as the state we now say "oh ignore the fact that your fetus is kicking etc and looks just like a baby already, you can still have it removed as if he or she is just a tumor"    Let ILL and NY continue that if they like but states that value life should be able to restrict abortion to first trimester and maybe to first 8 weeks sometime in future.

4.  I would like my state to come up with some right to work amendments.   I think the idea has matured and even though we failed to pass them in the past a well written one could pass now, we have GOT to try to crimp the MSM/DNC funding pipelines wherever we can.  

  OK this does not belong in this post but leaving for now.

 I doubt it is ever possible to go back to once the floodgate of "everyone should get to vote" gets opened but only the people that FUND the government should be getting to vote.    No this would not end all medicaid, welfare and etc.   It would let the people who have to pay for things decide how best to balance "we gain quality of life by not having streets clogged with beggars, but we don't want to be bribing people to quit jobs either"    Having folks that only consume resources saying "give us more goodies if you want our votes" kills societies, going back to before the Roman empire.    I hope a future  society implements the wisdom of the U.S. founders.  I think land owner to vote will not be the way to implement it in future but there needs to be something that limits voting to those that are contributing to the government coffers.
