Same with pot, on a different level though. No church is forced to sell weed when recreational pot is legalized.
I love the idea of ballot measures, you know why? BECAUSE THEY GET MORE PEOPLE TO THE POLLS. If there was a ballot measure passed in your state that affected you or you felt good about, and you weren't interested beforehand, it might spark an interest in you to get to the poll and vote.
Ballot Measures are great.
