1. Contact the administrative office of your local government.  \n  \n2.   Verify that your cause for petition falls under its jurisdiction. You might need to petition on a county or state level. Have the office direct you to the department that handles matters related to your cause.  \n  \n3.   Request petition guidelines. Find out how many signatures you need and whether your petition needs approval before being circulated.  \n  \n4.   Use the guidelines to write a short summary of your cause. People won't stick around to read something long, so make it simple and to the point. A good example might be, "We, the citizens of the city of Mapleton, petition the city to install a four-way stop sign at the intersection of Main Street and Palm Drive. Drivers typically speed through this busy intersection at 35 mph or more while our children are trying to cross on their way to school."  \n  \n5.   Read over your summary carefully. Make sure it (1) describes the situation, (2) suggests what is needed and (3) explains why it is needed.  \n  \n6.   Divide the petition page, with the summary at the top, into four columns with a ruler. Label the columns: Name, Address, Phone Number and Signature. Allow plenty of room for the Address column.  \n  \n7.   Label more pages accordingly or make copies of your original. Make sure you have enough pages for the number of signatures you need.  \n  \n8.   Secure the papers to a clipboard. Attach a pen to the clipboard.  \n  \n9.   Go out and get those signatures! Make sure all signers are registered voters.  \n  \nGood luck!

It's hard to fight once it passes. If it hasn't passed, you can vote against it and tell others to do the same.

You need to put some work into this project.\n\nFor starters you would need at least one full copy of the code of laws for your state.  A copy of the federal codes as well as state and federal tax codes would be useful.  You would need innumerable reference books on both fields, and journals that update you on recent state and federal rulings in both fields. \n\nYou have a lot to look into...Good luck.

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.

Contact your US Representative or US Senator.  Their office staff will be able to assist you on this matter.  Since they represent you, they are able to introduce legislation in the Congress.

If your state has an initiative process, you can take your idea to the people. If you get enought signatures for your petition, then it goes on the ballet. If the majority of voters say yes, it's law!

Not just yet.  It passed in the State Senate, but needs to be approved by the House and Governor.

The most effective way to have an impact is to act locally.  I would start by contacting my city council representative and present your concerns to him/her and see if this person would be williing to support municipal legislation.  You can also try to work with your state senator or representative as well.  You might also want to talk to your local chapter of the Humane Society, to see if they have any community programs that you can get involoved with.\n\nIf you live in a western state (such as Arizona) you can try to write a ballot proposition, collect the signatures of voters and get your issues on the next ballot as well.  Good luck
