  1. The Antidote to Special Interests

    A-60 will reduce the influence of special interests. In order to control the United States Congress at this time, special interests need only control a few powerful congressmen. That has effectively blocked votes on those issues that favor the special interests while opposing the will of the people. But with R-60 in place it the special interests would need to have influential control over 46 of the 50 state legislatures in order to block a vote on an issue. And without that control, the vote will take place, the will of the people will be voiced, and the new law may be passed. This is in spite of the wishes of those same powerful congressmen who may have aligned with the special interests.
