I would greatly disagree that it is up to the voters. It is only up to the representatives. Only states with binding resolution allows for voters to enact policies while major of states only allow representatives. There are numerous stances where the people fully support a policy while the major of representatives reject the policy and adhere to their political party and group think. If the voters had the power then we should be able to override legislation that the the current representatives supporting. I hear it all the time with representatives, we need the power to override the Governor, but never hear the people need the power to override the representatives and or Governor. Voting in new representatives has no correlation to enacting polices we the people want and demand.

United States of America is currently legislatively oppressed.
