Since you are interested in making a stand against evil, I was wondering if you could help me research these patriotic petitions to get people involved in changing the cultural trend setters.

The How does a ballot proposal get on the ballot? has this as outlined;

"Ballot questions are also presented to voters in statewide elections. These petitions may seek to create new or amend existing legislation, seek referendum on enacted legislation (Article II, Sec. 9) or amend the State Constitution (Article XII, Sec. 2). Prior to collecting signatures in support of a petition, proponents are required to submit a copy of the petition to the Secretary of State. They are also encouraged, though not required by law, to submit the petition to the Board of State Canvassers for approval, reducing the risk that signatures on the form will be ruled invalid due to improper formatting. Petitions proposing constitutional amendments must be filed with the Secretary of State at least 120 days before the election at which the proposal is to be voted on. Initiative petitions are due at least 160 days prior to the election. Referendum petitions must be filed within 90 days after the final adjournment of the legislative session at which the law subject to referendum was enacted. This means that for the November 2016 general election, the filing deadline for initiated legislation was June 1 and the deadline for constitutional amendments is July 11. The deadline for filing referendum petitions for laws enacted in 2015 was March 17, 2016.

Initiated legislation petitions require signatures equal to eight percent of the total votes cast for governor in the last election. According to the Michigan Bureau of Elections, that’s 252,523 signatures for 2016. For constitutional amendments, 10 percent of the votes cast for governor are required, or 315,654 signatures in 2016. For referendums, five percent of the votes, or 157,827 signatures in 2016, are required.

If an initiative to create new or amend existing legislation is determined by the State Board of Canvassers to have enough valid signatures on the petition, the state legislature has 40 days to adopt or reject the proposal. Failing to take action is considered rejection. If the legislature rejects the proposal or does not act, the proposal goes on the ballot for approval or rejection at the next general election. The legislature may also propose a different measure on the same subject. In that case, both measures are submitted to the public at the next general election.

If a petition to amend the state constitution is determined to contain enough signatures, the proposed amendment goes directly to the ballot in the next general election. If approved by the voters, the amendment goes into effect. If a petition for a referendum on legislation gets enough signatures, the proposal goes to the ballot for the voters to determine whether or not the law goes into effect, and implementation of the law is suspended until the election takes place."

There is more at the web site before and after that quoted section, but the general idea is here for the State of Michigan.

Looking up California next for the next post.
 
For the State of California ...... Guide to the Rules for Ballot Propositions in California

"How does a proposition get on the ballot?

There are 2 main ways: (1) an organization collects enough signatures from the voters (see below); or (2) the legislature votes to put it on the ballot.

Note that a voter initiated measure can only appear on a November General election ballot, not a primary.1

Why would the legislature put a measure on a ballot rather than just passing it themselves?

The legislature is required to put any of the following on the ballot: an amendment to the California Constitution, an amendment to a previously approved voter initiated law (unless the initiative permits amendment or repeal without voter approval), or a bond measure.2

How many signatures does a proposition need to get on the ballot?

To get a voter initiated measure on the ballot, the “proponents” must submit a petition to the California Attorney General along with a submission fee, and obtain a certain number of signatures from registered voters. If the measure would amend the California Constitution, it would need signatures from registered voters amounting to 8% of the number of people who voted in the most recent election for governor. As of 2018, this would require at least 585,407 signatures. If the measure would simply be a “statute” (a law that is not in the Constitution), it would need signatures from registered voters equal to 5% of the number of people who voted in the most recent election for governor. As of 2018, this would require at least 365,880 signatures.3

How many days do you have to gather signatures?

180 days.4

When do the signatures need to be submitted to get the measure on the next ballot?

In order to qualify for the next general election, the signatures must be certified by the Secretary of State at least 131 days before the election.5

If a ballot proposition is approved, when does it take effect?

A ballot proposition that gets more “YES”s than “NO”s takes effect on the 5th day after the vote has been certified by the Secretary of State (about 6 weeks after election day), unless the proposition states otherwise.6

If two or more conflicting ballot propositions are approved at the same time, what happens?

If more than one ballot proposition regarding the same issue is approved in an election, the one with more YES votes takes effect.7"

Next one for Pennsylvania...
 
@MedicBravo

Could not find one for Pennsylvania unless someone can help me. Seems the list results are for submitting candidacy.

I did find this site though for starting petitions.

Let’s take your first step toward change

So many choices.

#1. Ban Critical Race Theory from ALL schools.

#2. Ban stories that has graphic sex scenes like a child giving oral sex to an adult as being part of school reading curriculum.

Should Parents Get a Say in Their Child's Curriculum? <--- That was for New Hampshire.

"In N.H., that may begin happening soon. The state Legislature recently approved a new law that allows parents to challenge any aspect of a school’s curriculum they disagree with, and request the substitution of lessons they prefer.

The substituted material must be approved by the local school district—and the parents in question will have to foot the bill for the materials."

#3. Ban transgenderism from being taught to children or young adults at schools.

#4. Remove evolution theory from being taught in schools. Mayhap bullying will go the away as well with natural selection and the old weeding out the weak and the vulnerable no longer being taught.

#5. Remove books about same sex parents to little children or to any student.

#6. Remove laws against misgendering

#7 Remove all perks given to Senators and Congressmen; they only get raises when the people say they deserve one. They make enough money to buy their own health insurance and save for their own retirement plan. They do not deserve to continue to be paid once out of office.

Can you think of any?
 
Too long have school boards think they have so much power. Look at the filth and lies they are pushing on children. I don't care if they have kids, are married, or what they should be arrested and their identity put in with sex offenders for life.

I agree since they are doing this corruption of minor directly for children to read filth like that as part of their school curriculum.
