Our goals are:
1) Have the Vermont Legislature authorize a “non-binding referendum” on the question of changing Vermont’s marriage laws to include same-sex unions. This would foster widespread public debate on the issue. And the votes of an informed public would give needed insight to the General Assembly concerning Vermonters’ view of this issue.
2) Have the Vermont Legislature authorize a referendum process that is citizen-initiated. Such a process would require a statewide ballot vote if citizens presented the Secretary of State with a certain number of signatures in support of a referendum on an issue or question. The signatures of 5% of the registered voters in Vermont would initiate the process.
