Taking Action

It is important to realize that any legislation or amendment to the Constitution that this or any other organization comes up with will have to go through Congress to be enacted into law or voted on by the States to amend the Constitution.  All suggestions will have to deal with something that is so important to the members of Congress that they can't brush it off.  Congress' remune

Obviously, one of the big things citizens can do in this age of participatory democracy is to seek out the candidates when they come to town and demand that they confront them on how they plan to deal with the federal budget, the expiring tax cuts and the growing entitlement challenge.  Tom Redburn has an excellent commentary in The New York Times on this very subject at: http://www.nytimes.co

The suggestions we've made in our Act section are just a starting point. We want your ideas on how the public can make leaders pay attention to this issue. If leaders are going to take this seriously, they have to know that the public is taking it seriously, too.
