Blogging A Bill Into Law: Part 1: The Seed Idea

If a law really does start with people coming up with an idea, any of us can get the ball rolling.   So I am going to do it, I am going to get a law passed.  And I am going to blog how I did it right here on MyDD.

So here is the law:  Division I-A Football must end in a 16 team playoff by the 2008 season or the NCAA faces legal sanctions.

I love following college football, and I know that this law would make the life of many Americans a whole lot better.  The company I work for, Advomatic, is very understanding of my desire for change in the college football landscape and they have actually promised to help with company resources to get my bill started. I am familiar with starting organizations and have access to the best web developers, and i will levage myself fully for this cause.

Use the comment section to talk about what needs to happen so America can have college football playoffs,  and what would go into making this blog informative for future netroots legislative efforts.

AskMyDD: Who is going to write legislation?

So here is my school house rocks question: In 2007, who writes legislation?

This is how i currently see the layout after we drown the K-Street project in a bath tub.

The single issue advocacy groups seem to be incapable of doing anything more than direct mail and robocalls.  All our recent think tanks, like CAP and NPI, have been built on education rather than actual policy creation. Congressional staffs have been gutted. And, Senators and Reps do not even have time to read entire legislation, let alone write it.

So where is legislation going to come from.  Not the ideas for legislation, but the acutal legislation itself.  

So help me MyDD, in playing how a bill becomes a law in 2007, who writes the bill?
