    Stop Saying "There Out To Be A Law"....
    ... Now You Can Design A Law, And We'll Help Get It Introduced And Passed!


    Got something that's bothering you and want it changed?

    CONTEST...CONTEST...CONTEST

    Win $100 And A Chance To See Your Idea Become Law!

      With those thoughts in mind, we would like to invite you to participate in a very unique contest dedicated to getting your legislative thoughts, feelings and ideas enacted into law. To participate, simply type your ideas on individual pieces of paper (in Microsoft Word please) and submit them to us. Your writings should use the outline/format listed below. If you would like to see a sample of how to write and present your material, please visit our legislative agenda and click on any one of the ideas found on the page. You can visit the list by clicking here.

      If your idea is selected, not only will you receive $100 in cash, but if introduced (and we will focus on having it introduced in your home state), you will actually get to work on the bill as it makes it way through the legislative process! To enter, simply use the outline provided below and get your idea to me either via E-mail, call: (916) 923-2215, fax (916) 923-2216 or personal delivery (please call for mailing address).


      --OUTLINE--

      Like the legal community's I.R.A.C. writing system, Legislative Writing has a style all its own. Simply supply me with the highlighted information in two or three sentences, and we are on our way! Again, if you would like to view a sample, please click here.

      • PROBLEM: Define the problem in one or two sentences;
      • THIS PROBLEM IS FELT AS: Provide an example, so the ready clearly understands;
      • PROPOSED SOLUTION: Propose a solution;
      • POSSIBLE SUPPORT: Tell me who you expect to support this idea;
      • POSSIBLE OPPOSITION: Tell me whom you expect to be opposed to the idea;
      • ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT: Give us the reasons why this idea should be supported;
      • ARGUMENTS IN OPPOSITION: Give us the reasons why this idea should be opposed;
      • SECTION OF LAW EFFECTED: If you know the section, tell us (if not don't worry about it):
      • LANGUAGE ATTACHED: If you have specific language, send it (if not, we'll try to get it drafted for you).
