Why Don't Hoosiers Have The Same Powers As Sooners?

 I have been trying to get Indiana Democrats to even think about changing our state constitution. 

Oklahoma voters cannot be any less conservative than Indiana voters, but they are fighting against their conservative state legislature: Who’s afraid of Oklahoma voters? The lawmakers who represent them ( News From The States)

Oklahoma lawmakers are clearly scared to death of their constituents, and who could blame them?

After all, voters in recent years have forced our lawmakers to come face-to-face with the terrifying reality that average Oklahomans can band together to circumvent the Legislature’s will and force the passage of new progressive laws and block boneheaded conservative policies.

 ***

I can understand how that must be a scary prospect for a Republican-led governing body whose members typically take immense pride in thinking up conservative policies. And, I suspect that’s probably why lawmakers continue to monkey around with Oklahomans’ constitutionally guaranteed right to put their own proposed laws or constitutional amendments on the ballot.

Are Indiana Democrats scared of putting power into the hands of ordinary Hoosiers?
