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.
