Interesting Amendments on Ballots

[MOSES]

What are some interesting, and/or perhaps absurd amendments that are found on your state ballot?

eg.,
Colorado

Very interesting (very good, in my opinion) Amendment 48 - "the personhood amendment"
Will give a feralized egg (unborn child) the legal status of "person", with all inalieable rights.
Thus: the right to life

Not so interesting (socialist, in my opinion) Amendment 56 - "Employer required to provide health insurance"
If passed, employers wll have to, by law, provide health insurance for their employee's.


What is on your State ballot?

I am afraid Amendment 48 will NOT do what it many suppose it is purported to do.

Amendment 48
Definition of Person
1 Ballot Title: An amendment to the Colorado constitution defining the term "person"
2 to include anyhuman being from the moment of fertilization as "person"is used in those
3 provisions of the Colorado constitution relating to inalienable rights, equalityof justice,
4 and due process of law.
5 Text of Proposal:
6 Be it Enacted by the People of the State of Colorado:
7 SECTION 1. Article IIof the constitution of the state of Colorado is amended BY THE
8 ADDITION OF A NEW SECTION to read:
9 Section 31. Person defined. AS USED IN SECTIONS 3, 6, AND 25 OF ARTICLE II OF
10 THE STATE CONSTITUTION, THE TERMS "PERSON" OR "PERSONS" SHALL INCLUDE ANY
11 HUMAN BEING FROM THE MOMENT OF FERTILIZATION

Will be ruled against by any Federal Court because it goes against Section 1 of the 14th Amendment

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."emphasis mine

Until the US Constitution is Amended every state act will be struck down in spite of 10th Amendment

Our amendments have to do with all sorts of local government issues due to our carpet bagger constitution. Almost nothing fiscal (and much procedural ) can be done on a local level unless it is run through the state legislature and voted on as an amendment to the constitution. Some of them are incredible in their triviality. I believe that we currently have 799 amendments. Here is an example:

AMENDMENT 756 RATIFIED

Enforcement of Traffic Laws in Shelby County.

In Shelby County, the Legislature, by local law, may provide for the enforcement of traffic laws on private roads in private gated communities in the county.

Of course the liberals use this as leverage to try and write a new constitution; on which will be much more socialistic in its presuppositions.
