Yeah, I just get big warning signals going off in my head when either party asks citizens to give up power or rights in the name of "protecting themselves" from "insert outrage trigger of the week" threatening to forever make their lives miserable.  The power of the people to both approve amendments to the State Constitution by majority vote, and to put amendment proposals on the ballot via grass roots is the way the founders intended it to be.  As it stands now, if something does get voted in that people ultimately don't agree with, at least they can get it back on the ballot to undo it.  Had issue 1 passed, life would have gotten much tougher as only those State Legislators would have the power to decide what even goes on the ballot.  In other words, a massive power grab.
