Do citizens have the “right” to process an Initiative?

Links to recent newspaper articles

In multiple recent examples in the area press (listed links below)– appointed officials attempt to curtail Initiative efforts! One in Columbus, one in Pickerington. Others have cited the Ohio Constitution within the “Discussion Pages” section of this web site.

Ohio Constitution, Article. II § 1a Initiative petition;
Text of Section
The first aforestated power reserved BY THE PEOPLE is designated the initiative

(Adopted September 3, 1912.)

Since these issues effect you, as a right of your constitution, what do you think?
