WOW!!

How come we constituents don’t try to get more bills to our reps?!!?

Didn’t know a lot of that. Thanks

There’s one caveat to submitting a bill to your Rep and expecting it to go anywhere — massive $$$$ contribution.

I worked for a small startup once and we were winning various government R&D contracts. We got an earmark for a research budget once and learned what it takes to get ANY appropriations added to a spending bill. You have to grease their palms big time!

Well yea, how do you think most bills nowadays are written? It's a bunch of lobbyists and trade groups who write the bill then pay the CongressCritter to put it in the pile. Do you really think more than a handful of them can actually write a legal bill? Half of them can't even read law!
