(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?
