Is there a way to protest wording on ballot referendum?

There should be something like a State Election Commission you can address your concern to.  Also, you can usually start with your location city hall for information.

No, there is no law against discussing your vote with others.  As far as I'm concerned a lot of people are paranoid about the privacy of their vote.  Unless you are ashamed of what or who you are voting for or against I don't feel that it makes a difference.  I am a poll worker in Toledo, OH, if it comes up I tell the voter it is up to them if they want to use a privacy screen etc.  It is every ones right to have a secret ballot.  There are regulations against having a union official or someone like that "assist" you if you have a disability though.

E-mail you story to different news stations once people start to hear about this they'll be outraged then you'll have the power of the people and you might be able to get the law changed\n\nP.S.\njust start with getting your story heard

put your X somewhere else... and tell everyone who'll listen just how pathetic they are. write to your local paper..and make your observations official. write to the leader of the council, and have it raised at the next council meeting..have it minuted and demand a written response. (as is your right).\n\ni live in coventry..our wonderful council just spent bazillions on knocking down a local landmark and building a clock.... theyve just had a massive overspend, and now are taking the 3 quid a week off special needs people...and charging disabled people to park at the new super hospital... but thats what happens when we get a conservative council... the rich and the greedy always come before the poor and the needy...

Sounds like you are trying to find the difference between a Written and On-line Petition. I myself perfer the written ones as On-line petitons can get passed around and lost in the process.   Get a group, get your paper signed and make some waves.

you could sign them and you won't get in trouble. these petitions are just material for polls to see how many people support which issues. \nthe only bad outcome could be that some senator was trying to see how many votes he would get if he stood up for some issue and then you didn't vote for him. it's no big deal, but it might encourage petitions to stand up for what you believe in.

You question isn’t really clear on what you want to do.\n\nAny citizen has the right of petition, for reference check the first article of the Bill of Rights.  \n\nAny citizen nominate (through support signatures if nothing else) any one they wish.\n\nAmending (I assume city codes) are normally done with the support of at least one council member.  However, any citizen can attend city council meetings and propose any amendment to city codes that they wish to propose.\n\nWhat you didn’t ask is how to develop a viable support group for such an effort.  Just because you petition, nominate, or propose amendments, doesn’t mean that this will work.  It is your efforts to develop support that will win the day and this could take years.

Plenty is done for the people, including those  who do not vote. Even if an election result does not go the way I voted, I know that I had the opportunity to make my opinion known to those whom with I disagree. \nIt takes quite a bit of effort for anything to be placed on a ballot, people must support a candidate or issue and take proper steps to complete the process. If things that matter to you need voter approval, get out and volunteer with a group that supports your views, getting involved will give you a greater satisfaction with the political process. Your effort does matter and you can make a difference in your community,  good luck.

TO ALL \nDemand a recount-if you know they did-and say why. Only citizens should be able too. and I will sign. And ask at your voting booth if they didn't check-get their names. And call the newspapers if you see it happening.

?\n\nIf you mean the ballot initiative that people were collecting signatures for today, they are trying to get in on the next ballot. It wasn't on this one...\n\nunless you're talking about something else...

What utter nonsense. What you want is freedom to say whatever you want without consequences.  That's a very different thing.\nPeople using this kind of question to make political points against ANY administration are just silly, as some of your answers did.  They are willing to undermine our country's reputation for political "points".\nTruth is, we have free speech, and so do the people who respond to you, argue with you, disagree with you, and even insult you. If you are watching what you say, it's because you are too timid to say what you mean and stand by it.\nYou still have the freedom to do that, and that was all that was ever granted us in the first place.\nPeople also have a right to respond to your speech.\n\nYahoo! Answers and other groups that provide a forum for you to speak get to add their own rules.  Just because you use the forum does not mean you get the right to dictate what the rules of that forum are.  They have the right, as owners of the site, to determine that.  If they wanted to limit it to people who can talk only about pink dyed poodles without the participants using the letter "p", they could (not much of a market in that), and have the right to do so.\n\nSomeone loans you a soapbox, but they get to decide whether you use it, or get to take it away if you don't follow their rules.\n\nHOWEVER, you are free to start your own website, your own newsletter, your own T.V. station, your own radio station, and you get to make the rules.\n\nIF you did, would you want people coming with insults about you and your views, or spewing filth to insist that you had to spend your money so they could "speak freely"?\n\nWhat nonsense.  You have no right to ask that.

I am writing from the US, but if this were an American organization I would check the charter document (Certificate of Incorporation) and By-Laws regarding the percentage of vote required to propose (as opposed to approve) a merger, as well as quorum provisions.  I would guess a simple majority, of not just a motion and a seconding of the motion, would be enough.\n\nAs for the substance of the measure and voting it up or down, look through ALL the by laws, and maybe Robert's Rules of Order, and try to use them to get your way, or at least to block what you don't want.\n\nIt's like a chess game, although of course much more serious.\n\nGood luck.
