If I get a million signatures this is the course of action:
Step,Action,Why It Works
1. File as a Citizen Initiative Petition,"Submit to the Virginia Department of Elections (ELECT)
📍 1100 Bank St, Richmond, VA 23219",Required by VA Code § 24.2-684.1 — triggers official review.
2. Present to General Assembly Leadership,"Hand-deliver copies to:
→ Speaker of the House (currently Don Scott, D)
→ President pro tempore of the Senate (currently Louise Lucas, D)
→ House Clerk & Senate Clerk","Article IV, § 7 — They must receive petitions from citizens."
3. Force a Public Hearing,Demand under VA Code § 30-19.1:1,1M signatures = undeniable majority → they cannot ignore.
4. Trigger Referendum (if needed),"If GA refuses, file for statewide referendum via ELECT","Article V, § 2 — People can bypass GA entirely."
