The referendum (referenda in its plural sense) is a ballot mechanism voters can use to veto a law that they don’t like. The power of the people's referendum process exceeds the government's power to stop them.
The referendum is a process that is created by direct participation of voters signing their state's specific referendum petitions that are submitted to their elections office. When enough signatures are collected in a given time frame, the people's veto gets on the ballot and then people can vote for what they want, taking back into their own hands.
It's extremely important that people learn about this right. If we don't use it, we can lose it. As we are not prepared to qualify referendums today through any authoritative organizing platform, we are in a state of acquiescence to politicians. Everything they choose goes, that is until, the RIPAC project is successful and we create the critical mass of subscribers and affiliates subscribers. This article is written for the explicit purpose to organize people in the State’s for referenda rights.
Rather than be subjected to limitations by the current referendum process, we seek to realistically organize enough people as both members of our organization and as subscribers to our media online, to reach the critical mass needed to qualify referenda. When we have enough people organized, we can qualify them effortlessly. People can print out petitions themselves, have them signed and mailed in and enough gathered this way could qualify a referendum overnight rather than having to go through a very time consuming and costly paid signature gathering process. We are doing what no other group is doing.
We are planning to completely reclaim referendum rights and organizing people online to use them. When we succeed, and we will with your subscription, support and participation, we can create a citizenry so powerful, every bad law politicians propose can be voted down and blocked forever on into the future.
We can nullify any law the government pushes on us against our will. The referendum is a direct-democracy tool, it is a ballot mechanism that all voters should unite behind as a protectorate against all new corrupt laws the government pushes.
Do not mix this process of direct-democracy with “democracy” of and by the political elite, or the senseless protests that attribute the term “mob-rule” to the word. This is a legal process that ensures people can simply vote “NO” on any and all laws by our state governments. RIPAC is working to redistribute political power horizontally, to the people, to stop corruption in government.
Let's reclaim our ability to decide.
SAVE THE REPUBLIC WITH DIRECT DEMOCRACY!
Can you think of any laws passed in your state you would have liked to stop?
Where there are corrupt laws and the voters have the right to veto them, for us not to veto them is a crime against the republic.
If there are any laws you want to end, become a member of RIPAC and start a discussion. To not work with us is to abandon your choice. We are the only group taking action on this front, to organize people for a critical mass, a protectorate against corrupt laws, a referendum guard against political malfeasance.
We can put pressure on our leaders to allow us to have referendums on the most important issues of our time, or we can make them ourselves with direct referenda.

In order to apply a referendum solution, a massive quantity of signatures must be collected immediately after the law we want to be referred to the voters is approved to become law by the legislature. The time limit and signature requirements hinder the people’s abilities to stop laws they don’t want.
It takes fast action of community groups to organize and in most cases fundraise, in order to get the signatures necessary to qualify a referendum for the ballot. Therefore, this limitation is perhaps one of the top reasons why people must join RIPAC. When we have enough members, we won’t need to worry about time limits or signature requirements.
When enough people are organized for ballot propositions, every bad law that is ever passed in our areas can be called upon our members for a referendum veto. RIPAC is the organizational force for “permanent ballot access”. We can see if our members support a referendum against the law in question and with the permanent ballot access network solution in place, we can qualify any and all referenda wanted by our members, effortlessly.
We seek to apply a block-chain e-democracy system, based off of the Steemit platform, a QED (Quorum E-Democracy) that our members can use to methodologically debate the policy that should be voted against, in a way that ensures truth is relevantly learned and taught, as an online learning platform, so people can agree on consensus and move forward with deciding what we want to put our State’s ballots. Read more about our ideas on the QED here: https://ripac.us/empowerment/qed/
Anarchy does not mean without laws, it means without rulers. RIPAC proposes a "Constitutional Anarchy" where a decentralized power of the people that is leveraging block-chain technology for methodological debate sophistication, will help us harmonize our collective goals for society and create de jure governance. We call for horizontal power transfer, rather than top down government, and decentralized governance, for and by the people.
RIPAC members will empower people in our states to be without the need for politicians. No President or Governor can stand in our way with the ballot mechanism strategies we will employ.
Referenda are legal, they are practical and they are what this nation was destined to become about. We are already taking steps to file referenda for 2018 that will severely limit the power of politicians.
This new governance for and by the people will represent the final social/political/economic evolution of mankind and spread around the globe. We can fully replace government functionality with ballot mechanisms directly to the point where we don't need politicians to represent us ever again. The future is yours when together, we seize this opportunity to represent ourselves at the ballot.
