Citizens, Six Referenda have been proposed for ElectionJune2016. However only three (Referenda/1, Referenda/2, Referenda/4) will give the voters a chance to approve or disapprove of them. That is because only those three Referenda have three supporters (two supporters plus the proposer), while none of the other three Referenda have two supporters in addition to the proposer.
You do not have to agree to vote yes on the ballot for a Referendum that you supported. Supporting a Referendum ensures that it will get on the ballot, thereby giving all of the voters a chance to vote on it, yes or no. Because all of the proposers of the three Referenda that do not have a sufficient number of supporters have given thought and effort to proposing their Referenda, it would be discouraging to them if their Referenda were ineligible for a place on the ballot, and of no benefit to Citizendium if the voters did not have a chance to consider the merits of those Referenda. For those reasons, your Managing Editor encourages you to add your support to those three Referenda currently ineligible for a place on the ballot, whether you plan to vote yes or no on them. You can add your support to allow them a place on the ballot by clicking: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/User:ElectionJune2016/Referenda#Citizen-initi ated_referenda. Just enter four tildes (~~~~) next to the words '**Supported by'. Do that, of course, in Edit mode. -Anthony.Sebastian Managing Editor, Citizendium Anthony Sebastian, MD Professor Emeritus of Medicine (on active recall duty) Department of Medicine Division of Nephrology 40 Crags Court San Francisco, CA 94131 UCSF Email: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Preferred Email: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
