Here are my proposed amendments.
Edited on Wed Jul-14-04 02:55 PM by trof
I'm so disgusted at all the time and money wasted on this bogus anti-gay marriage, I thought I'd make up some I'd like to see.

Article XXVIII: During any twenty-four hour period where the outside air temperature reaches eighty-two degrees or higher (Fahrenheit), free ice cream, in at least, but not limited to, the flavors of Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry, shall be made available, free of charge, between the hours of twelve o'clock noon and five o'clock p.m. (local time) to all citizens of the United States of America and it's possessions under the age of thirteen years. Funding for such refreshment shall be drawn, proportionaly, from the salaries of the Menbers of Congress.

Article XXVIIII: Citizens using any form of public transportation, or appearing in any public place where they may be likely to come into the proximity of other citizens, must use earphones while utilizing electronic entertainment or sound devices.

Article XXX: Henceforth the Fox News Network shall be required to cease using the slogan "Fair and Balanced", and must instead use the slogan "We are what we are, Fear and Bias".

Feel free to add your own.

1. Here's mine:
Article XXVV: "All "commentators" or "broadcasters" who hold a Right Wing/Conservative Philosophical belief must cease to practice the First Amendment of the Constitution as they will be convicted for committing Treason against the state for their actions."

2. Not to be pickey (I'm so anal)
but amendments go by the heading/title "Amendment 1 - xx", not "Article" which would be in the main body.

3. Congress . . .

Article XX

Congress, both House and Senate, do fully acknowledge we have neither the knowledge, individually or collectively, nor have we either individually or collectively demonstrated the moral virtues required of such decisions;

hereby declare that we, the collective Congress of the United State of America are completely incapable of legislating such a momentous and private decision as the right of a woman to choose her family planning options;

do hereby declare that no legislation may be passed regarding this most private and personal of issues.
