There is no way to have a ballot proposition for the entire United States. Some states, such as California, permit "initiative and referendum" which allow citizens to write their own ballot propositions, but not all states do.

The government of the Unites States is a "representative republic", not a democracy. Citizens do not vote directly on the issues; citizens elect representatives to act in our names. The Federal government has no provision to allow citizens to vote directly on government policies.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

A set number of registered voters sign a petition to put a initiative on the ballot. It then goes to the state election office and they validate the voter petitions. If it passes the correct number of signed registered voters it goes to be written properly for the ballot and written for the ballot. The economic affect of the initiative is also studied and placed with the initiative in the ballot.
