Parrish Report
This section underscores what is self-evident, that only human beings can vote and that, therefore, only natural persons (human beings) registered to vote can sponsor initiatives. This purposely excludes the artifacts of law where corporations are considered artificial persons and are thereby sometimes vested with the political power of a natural person. This section precludes corporations and aliens from sponsorship of initiatives and sets the stage for the next section.
