Hello citizens of Rockport, my name is ChefBuckeye and I will be doing what I'll call, a 'poll.'
Simple things straight forward, I wish to hear what you think of this legislation before it is proposed before Congress.
Quick summary this allows you to propose a petition to enact a law or amend the Constitution or Bill of Rights. The petition would require 75+ legitimate signers (not an alt nor an tourist). The petition then could be sent to the Speaker of the House who would make what I call this, a 'poll' or a 'vote' that gives you to approve or disapprove it. If it gets supermajority of 2/3's it then is voted by Congress and follows normal procedures as if it was already proposed by Congress.
All I wish for you to do is to post your opinion, your thoughts. If you like it and support it you can post 'support' or something similar, if you support it and want to become a sponsor you can say 'support, make me a sponsor also' and you'll be put on the sponsor list. If a good bundle of citizens like it, I will propose it to Congress.
