VOTERS
Nebraskans are tired of politicians ignoring the will of the people and undermining what we’ve already voted for.
State Commission Ignored Voter-Approved Medical Marijuana
The new state commission overseeing medical marijuana ignored key parts of the law voters passed, severely limiting access and adding burdensome requirements for doctors and patients.
Legislature Rolled Back Paid Sick Leave Voters Approved
The Legislature passed a bill that modified the voter-approved measure on earned paid sick leave to take coverage away from 140,000 hardworking Nebraskans.
Lawmakers Undermined Minimum Wage Increase
State legislators have voted to weaken the minimum wage increase that Nebraska voters approved, including capping future cost-of-living increases.
Politicians Passed Vouchers After Voters Said No
After Nebraskans voted against private school vouchers, the Governor and Legislature moved forward with a new voucher program that takes taxpayer dollars away from public schools and gives them to wealthy families who send their kids to private schools.

Explaining our Ballot Initiative
This measure will ensure our right to propose and vote on laws that put hardworking families first and ensure that when Nebraskans make a decision at the ballot box, politicians respect it.
Our constitutional amendment will change the number of state lawmakers required to undo or change laws voters have passed from two-thirds of the state legislature to a four-fifths supermajority. It also protects our freedom to vote on important issues facing our communities by strengthening protections for the ballot initiative process itself, preventing politicians from passing laws that restrict the people’s ability to bring initiatives.
