Neal Boortz proposes this for the state of Georgia, but I think it would be good for any piece of legislation nationwide:
"We, the undersigned sponsors of this legislation, hereby state that it is our belief that it is more important for the government of the State of Georgia to spend the taxpayer's funds necessary for the implementation of this legislation than it is for the Georgia private and corporate citizens who actually earned this money to retain it and to use it for their own purposes."Neal also notes that when this was first proposed in Georgia, it never even made it to committee. For some reason lawmakers don't seem interested.
Well I just sent letters to both US Senators, my US Rep, as well as my state senator and rep. Let's see what they come back with.
