Thanks...I assume the S.O.S funding raising site is legit, yes?

Yes it's run by Phil Watson. He's a good guy.

Also, if I recall an initiative can only be tossed out by the courts for things like constitutionality or single subject rule violation once its passed, though I might be wrong.

Alas...

[FONT=&quot]...no initiated statute may be amended or repealed for two years without a [/FONT]two-thirds (66.67 percent) supermajority vote[FONT=&quot] in both chambers. Any initiated law, so amended, is not subject to veto referendum. After two years, the law may be repealed or amended by a simple majority vote of the legislature.

...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]a single-subject rule for ballot measures. The relevant law restricts bills in the legislature. However, this restriction has been found to apply to initiatives as well.
