Um. I have an idea for a referendum:
No more referendums pertaining to Civil Rights issues. How is it fair that the majority gets to decide whether you're granted civil rights or not? It wouldn't have been an issue if they had granted you the civil rights in the first place.

From the New York Times:
"Measures to prohibit same-sex marriage won in two states on Tuesday, and most significantly, appeared headed for victory in California, where such unions have been legal for nearly the last five months."

"Among the more unusual measures on this year’s ballots was one in Florida that would repeal an old clause in the state constitution that allows legislators to bar Asian immigrants from owning land. The repeal would be symbolic, as equal protection laws would prevent lawmakers from applying the ban. With 78 percent of precincts reporting just before 11 p.m., the vote was close, with 52 percent voting to preserve the clause."
