Has Anyone Here Ever Proposed a An Idea For A Bill


....Has anyone here ever proposed a thought for some legislation/bill to their US Senator or H-of-Rep or I guess better said a draft/outline of something you would like to see passed as a bill in Washington D.C.

I have some thoughts of the way employers gather resumes that I think needs some regulation. I just want to know the process.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

4. I proposed a bill to my state rep a couple of months ago
It was an idea that any politician who is convicted of a crime that involves corruption should have to pay back the tax payers by doing community service. It came from the Blago thing. I don't want to see him sitting in jail, that serves no one. I would rather see him on the side of the expressway picking up trash, in the State house painting walls and so and so on. I haven't heard anything about it, and I'm not really expecting anything really.

7. I didn't really
I called her office asked for an appointment, and just explained by idea from memory. That is usually how I do things, she wrote a few notes. That could be the reason I haven't heard anything from her, but if it gave her an idea, its worth it.

6. step 1) write tens of millions of dollars worth of checks to legislators
step 2) write the legislation you want passed

step 3) rake in the profits


Repeat as needed
