Three Easy Steps

A quick mental exercise for everyone: in the interest of promoting civic good, I'd like to hear one change you'd make at each level of government.

So. Create one new law (or executive order) or repeal one old law (or executive order) at each of the following levels:

  • Federal Government
  • State Government
  • Local Government (county/town-city/village-neighborhood)
As we all live throughout the country, the last two categories will offer a diversity of challenges and responses. So much the better, I say!

In addition, I'd like our less-than-frequent commenters (time constraints permitting) to chip in on this one. I'm really interested to read what people think.

ok, let the fantasies begin!

Federal government would involve term limits across the board for all 3 branches. There's one for the executive branch already, why not for congress and for the supreme court, too?

State government would change the stupid 2 yr. term for governor to 4 yrs. That way we eliminate the constant need to campaign.

Local..........hmmm.......how about making anyone who has done something to embarrass themselves (like being arrested for being drunk and disorderly and then turned around and sued the police who arrested them) ineligible from ever holding any kind of office in their town again?

..........to dream the impossible dream........

Hey, thanks for the break from reality!
