DOWNSIZE DC

(I first mentioned this site back in Feb 2007. some of these campaigns are still just campaigns. COME ON PEOPLE, THERE ARE SOME WORTHY CAUSES HERE!!!)

you know, they do have a point. or two or three or four or.... and by "they" i mean "DOWNSIZEDC.ORG"

and why should we need campaigns like this? i mean, you'd think it would just be the logical sensible thing to be doing when you're drafting a bill or running a government, etc,  anyway.

things like:

  • reading a bill before voting on its passage ("Read The Bills Act")
  • not combining unrelated bills together ("One Subject at a Time Act")
  • auditing the Fed, because it's a private organization and should follow the same laws the rest of us/other businesses follow. ("Audit the Fed") - Also see Ron Paul's own "audit the fed" campaign & his book: END THE FED. Also, while on the subject of Ron Paul, go ahead & sign this petition.
  • not ignoring the constitution ("Tell Congress to Obey the Consititution")
  • not strangling the small family farmer... got to repeal some of this one now. i was against a lot of this stuff when i first started hearing about it. especially the NAIS. i think corporate farms might get a fair amount of exclusions. it's a typical approach to lawmaking: penalizing the common man & making endless exceptions for the wealthy or for large business entities. ("Preserve the Freedom to Farm") 

just need to get a large number of people on the same page. is that impossible, improbable, or just unlikely?
