Roadless Wilderness Act-\n\nAll 5,000 acre plus tracts that still remain with no roads through them and have yet to be logged will be reviewed and added to the wilderness system.  \n\n\nThe link below is about a rule, not a law that has been stuck since the last days of the Clinton Presidency.

I have been a long time supporter of this legislation.  Everyone needs to go to WWW.FAIRTAX.ORG and read up on this and sign the petition.  I believe anyone who reads enough to understand will be writing their congressmen to vote for this.

Damn good plan.  It is too hard for people to run non-partisan web sites now a days.  Maybe we should contact our Secretary of State and suggest this idea and see what they say.

I personally would like to see a balanced budget amendment. I would also like to see an amendment that put more stringent parameters on Congress's role. Check out this site, there is a good discussion on possible new amendments.

you could do the current issue of immigration.  There is a ton of information (and opinion pieces) out there right now because it is such a huge issue in the U.S.

Nothing. Call your State Legislature and ask him/her to introduce the bill. Ask others to do the same.\nNow if your thinking "grass roots referendum" to get the issue on the State vote, that's different.\nYour State may be different then mine.

first, write a proposal for the law and send it to your congressmember. then, write a petition for your law and get people to sign it, and then request a meeting with your congressmember to talk about it. that's what i would do.

Any way you slice it the government needs to pay for the services that people demand. I would support any modification of the tax code that would get the public at large to buy into the system. That means that the obvious corruption in the way federal money is spent and the way in which contracts are awarded has to be dealt with.  The budget process in Congress is hopelessly broken and needs to be reformed.  In short, a sales tax would be simpler and indeed would be a better system but it needs to be accompanied by other reforms.

The problem is we elect these poeple and we need to all pull together and do something about it. All of this has gone to far and it is time to do something about it. VOICE what you have to say to congress!! you can write these people, and everyone needs to start!! It is time for America to come together and get these people to work for us not for what they want!!

The USSenate passed a bill today that would allow illegal aliens--even if they committed a felony--to receive Social Security benefits and others--All but 5 Democrats voted for the passage. My only hope is that it will not pass the House!!!  THIS is ridiculous legislation--since Social Security is in trouble already!!!!

forget the state representatives, contact the congressmen to have it established in federal law. I always thought it was already, but perhaps the states I lived in growing up did the right thing.

Make a petition.  Write to the politicians.  Tell the news

Brilliant!!!! The conservatives, traditionalists, and republicans would be wise to start coalescing, and forming a strategy now. Many of your Ideas are doable, and would be a great platform to run on. Count me in. Many of these things could have been acted upon during the past six years, but partisan thinking reared it's ugly head and those years were wasted. The republicans will return, and take the country in a proper direction, not just a (new direction).

That is without a doubt the best idea I've heard recently.\nYou should run for office!!

oh my goodness, all the laws I would repeal.... I would have to go through all of them one by one and start marking writing bills to repeal so many... oh, it would take me sooooo long to write all those bills, I'd be writing from the moment I got up until the moment my day was over.... \n\nLaws that spend our money carelessly especially would be repealed, I'd propose cuts so many social programs and propose layoffs to so many people and force them to get real jobs in the private sector (God knows they need to work for a living instead of sponging).\n\nI'd insist on the tax cuts being a permanent deal after 2010. I'd have to propose two new bills for law though, one demanding one bill one law (no more of this padding the bill with things that have nothing to do with the law being proposed), and the other making it illegal for Federal, State and Local government to tax income and spending and property.... No more three sided taxes, choose one and call it a day.

There's a problem with your suggestion. It'll allow third parties to get in the mix and win seats. Unfortunately, since Congress is controlled by Dems and Repubs, none of them will vote in favor of it. I like the idea, but it won't pass through Congress.
