Ballot Initiatives
In case you missed it, here are the proposed ballot issues for 2024 that you should pay attention to:
Several issues are qualified to gather signatures for the 2024 general election ballots. The most important among these are:
CI-124 - Constitution Amendment that moves licensing of attorneys from Montana Supreme Court back to the Montana legislature. - YES.
CI-125 - amends Article II, Section 20 of the Montana Constitution also to allow 100 plus one-half of one percent of a county’s electors to convene a grand jury by complaint and petition. - YES.
CI-126 and CI-127 - These two initiatives launched by the Montanans for Election Reform. CI-126 proposes to list all primary candidates to be listed on the same ballot; CI-127 requires the majority (more than 50%) of votes to win the elections. Ranked choice elections in Montana will be a disaster. - NO. - DECLINE TO SIGN.
CI-128 - A constitutional initiative that would codify "Reproductive Rights" into the Montana Constitution. - NO. - DECLINE TO SIGN.
CI-128 would create a constitutional right to UNLIMITED ABORTION in Montana -- including partial-birth abortion, dismemberment abortion, and other late-term abortion procedures. Any "healthcare professional," which could mean a doctor, nurse, dentist, chiropractor, physical therapist, or paramedic, can make a subjective determination that an abortion is appropriate AT ANY STAGE OF PREGNANCY. Passing CI-128 will increase taxpayer-funded abortions, create a safe harbor for sex traffickers who force victims to have an abortion, and prohibit grieving couples from filing a lawsuit if their infant dies as a result of medical malpractice that results in an unwanted "pregnancy outcome." Further still, because CI-128 uses broad phrases like "reproductive care," this constitutional amendment would arguably create a right for anyone--including minors--to undergo radical, irreversible gender reassignment surgeries and therapies because these procedures alter the human reproductive system. The time is now to get to work and keep this off the General Election ballot.
