“This measure shreds our constitution by taking away the rights of the voters in the initiated measure process. The Nonpartisan League was critical in fighting for the power of the people. Measure 2, if adopted, would be a permanent constitutional amendment that would remove that power. I’m voting No on Measure 2 and I urge you to do the same.”
— Sarah Vogel, Former Democratic Agriculture Commissioner for the State of North Dakota
"Serving as Chair of North Dakota Citizens Protecting the Constitution, I’m motivated by one simple truth: the power to shape our state’s future belongs in the hands of North Dakota citizens. North Dakotans should be able to put forward ballot initiatives without jumping through unnecessary hoops. Measure 2 adds new restrictions and would force us to vote twice for the same measure. It is a blatant attempt to limit our constitutional rights. I believe in empowering voters and defending democracy. I won't stand by while sneaky politicians try to trick us into giving up our power to decide what happens in our own state.”
— Denise Dykeman, Chair of North Dakota Citizens Protecting the Constitution, Minot
"As a rancher, I’ve had enough of career politicians trying to pull the wool over our eyes with power grabs like Measure 2. They’re trying to set one set of rules for themselves and another for the rest of us. They want us to jump through hoops, like voting twice to pass a citizen ballot measure, while they only need one vote for the laws they write. Measure 2 isn’t about fairness—it's about taking power away from regular folks like us and handing it to the politicians. I won’t stand for it."
— RJ Paul, Farmer and Rancher near Rugby, ND
