Ahhh, but the Commonwealthes (West Virginia) provide passage of Initiatives on the county level that if 2/3rds of the counties agree it becomes law of the state. So there are work arounds. Let's start with the first state and get it past and then push forward. Remember I didn't say easy, I said possible. Action is better than complaining right? Did you read the proposition I am putting forward for the state of Oregon to Amend the US Constitutition? Does your state have initiatives? At least try, build up the debate. Thoughts.

The only problem is that only 24 states (less than 75%) have popular
initiative (see http://www.iandrinstitute.org/statewide_i&r.htm).
Even if 75% of states did have initiative, getting the same initiative
through all of them would be a huge undertaking.
