Do a search for state representative and your state name.  Do the same for state senator.  Your state legislature will have a website.  If you know the title or the number of the bill, you can search for it.  It will identify the sponsors of the bill and the chairperson of the committee that will review the bill.  Contact the sponsors and the chairperson of the committee that will do the inital review of the bill.\n\nOnce you have identified the sponsors and the committee chair, have all your friends write, email, call them regularly to stop the bill from becoming law.\n\nGood luck!

Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow. Both Democrats.\n\nIt's really pathetic that you don't know your state's senators.

Honestly, I think the presidents who were seen as most important or most influential were used for the different bills.  Plus Benjamin Franklin on the $100 (he was never a president).  As far as who goes on which bill, I think the more important/influential presidents were put on the more commonly used bills.  Hence, Washington is on the $1, which is used quite often, while Grant is on the $50, which was not as common when our modern monetary system was established.

Andrew Jackson. \n\nOur president was illiterate, and when having to sign on a bill, he would have to have someone approve it in writing for him. \n\nOne day, the person hired to do it was unavailable, and when he signed the document he wrote "OLL KORRECT" which is how he though all correct was spelled, and ever since OK has been adapted as an all correct statement.

Thomas Jefferson.\n\nHe wrote the Decleration of Independence, otherwise, we wouldnt be free.\n\nYou bunch of hippies!

I personally don't want any one person to be able to make a bill into a law.  Hello, that is why we have the three branches of government so we don't have a dictatorship!!  Bad idea!!

1.  B.  The order is Speaker of the House, then President Pro Tempore of the Senate, then the Cabinet positions in order of their creation (State is first).\n\n2.  A.  Only because many state constitutions have a Bill of Rights incorporated into the document (see the Illinois Constitution) and not as a separate set of amendments.\n\n3.  A.  A bill originating in the Senate would be SR.

First, a bill is drafted by a representative. It then goes to the legislative house of the rep. and is assigned a committee (different houses have different means of doing this). Then it is probably assigned to a subcommittee that researches it, and sends it off back to the full committee with a recomendation. The committee will then debate, and hear testimony on the bill and it's effects. It could be amended here at any point along the process. Then, it it will be voted on, if it fails, it dies and is redrafted. If the vote ties or passes, it will go to the full floor of the body. The body will then debate and maybe amend it. Then vote on it. If it fails it will go back to the committee. If it passes it will go to the other legislative body (if the govt. is bicameral), WITHOUT THE AMENDMENTS! The other house will vote on amendments etc. If it fails it goes back to the committee, if it passes, it goes to the president/governor/mayor/etc. (see the next paragraph). If it passes with different amendments, or with only some of the amendments, or none at all, it will go to a confrence committee, and the committee will work on it, and so on and so forth.\n\nThe pres/gov/etc can sign it, and it will become a law. Veto it and it will not become a law, (the legislative body can override a veto with a 2/3 vote) and the bill will go back to the legislature with a list of objections to the bill. Or, he can do nothing, and it will be pocket vetoed in 10 days.\n\nIf the bill finally becomes a law, someone can sue the govt. and the courts can overturn it if it finds that the law in unconstitutional.

Why bother?  Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, et al. have got it all sewn up.  Open your mouth and utter a conservative word, and I think they'll actually kick you out of the state.  Really!

1 might be puritans\n\n2 Plymouth\n\n3 Patuxet \n\n4 Franklin D Roosevelt sign the bill but that has too many letters.   Several presidents proclaimed a Thanksgiving day but FDR is the one who SIGNED IT INTO LAW.

Who is they? Are you referring to the Frist bill that was introduced?

Senator Feingold might be a good choice. He was the only Senator to vote against the original PATRIOT Act and he was been working to reform it since its passage.\nhttp://feingold.senate.gov/\n\nActually, if you want someone local, interview your local librarian. They are required to supply federal officials with lists of who is reading which books. Most librarians have grave reservations about the PATRIOT Act.

Influencing legislation requires two things, or a combination of the two:\n\n1. A billion dollars to bribe politicians (the polite term is "campaign contribution");\n\nor,\n\n2. The support of millions of people who agree with you and are willing to be active in the matter.\n\nMaybe you could find an establihed organization that is working towards similar goals and try to get their support.
