glad I am talking to a brick wall, now does someone want to answer my questions?

I ask about how to introduce a bill in order to get it into law.

no one person answered my question!

I didn't ask if it would work, or if it would get killed, or what would get changed. but i got plenty of answers for THAT.......

I'd like to word a bill to exempt rocketry from regulation. with 100 senators and 400+ representatives, I'd at least get one of them to submit it into becoming law.

but sheesh! I cant get anyone on RMR to even THINK of that. just a bunch of defeatists who'd rather gripe about how the government takes away our freedoms rather than try to DO something about it.

A congressman must introduce it. He "sponsors" it. By the time NAR killed the Enzi bill by shedding unwanted light on it through a professional lobbiest, it had several co-sponsors.

Hope this helps.

You need a congressperson and/or a lobbyist. Photos of the above "with" a sheep are also helpful.

Well, I guess you could do exactly what John Wickman and Sen. Enzi did a couple years back. But this time I suggest that it be done when senators from "New" states are out of town...

I want you to stop pissing on your fellow news groupers, the very people you seem to be asking for help.

In response to your question, here ya go:

Boy: Woof! You sure gotta climb a lot of steps to get to this Capitol Building here in Washington. But I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is?

I'm just a bill. Yes, I'm only a bill. And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill. Well, it's a long, long journey To the capital city. It's a long, long wait While I'm sitting in committee, But I know I'll be a law someday At least I hope and pray that I will, But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage.

Bill: Well I got this far. When I started, I wasn't even a bill, I was just an idea. Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called their local Congressman and he said, "You're right, there oughta be a law." Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress. And I became a bill, and I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.

I'm just a bill Yes I'm only a bill, And I got as far as Capitol Hill. Well, now I'm stuck in committee And I'll sit here and wait While a few key Congressmen discuss and debate Whether they should let me be a law. How I hope and pray that they will, But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: Listen to those congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you?

Bill: Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far. I hope they decide to report on me favourably, otherwise I may die.

Boy: Die?

Bill: Yeah, die in committee. Oooh, but it looks like I'm gonna live! Now I go to the House of Representatives, and they vote on me.

Boy: If they vote yes, what happens?

Bill: Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.

Boy: Oh no!

Bill: Oh yes!

I'm just a bill Yes, I'm only a bill And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill Well, then I'm off to the White House Where I'll wait in a line With a lot of other bills For the president to sign And if he signs me, then I'll be a law. How I hope and pray that he will, But today I am still just a bill.

Boy: You mean even if the whole Congress says you should be a law, the president can still say no?

Bill: Yes, that's called a veto. If the President vetoes me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote on me again, and by that time you're so old...

Boy: By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it?

Bill: No!

But how I hope and I pray that I will, But today I am still just a bill.

Congressman: He signed you, Bill! Now you're a law!

Bill: Oh yes!!!

I guess in a way we should be grateful it's so hard. 535 congressmen come up with a lot of REALLY STUPID ideas for laws. Just look at the crap that actually gets through. THey ought to be ashamed of themseleves, each and every one of them.
