Jerry Hill is hard to nail down on this issue. I would be so impressed to find an independent thinking politician instead of these party hacks like SPeier and Nagel.

Seems to me that taking advantage of the Senator's contest might be just the train ticket..............

Sen. Joe Simitian seeks entries for ‘Oughta be a Law’ contest

State Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, is inviting California residents to submit ideas for state legislation in his 10th annual “There Oughta Be A Law” contest. Proposals to repeal or
modify a law are also accepted. Deadline for entries is Nov. 1.

In the past nine years, 16 of the
winning ideas have become law, Sen. Simitian said. Winners will have their bills introduced as legislation, and
will have an opportunity to testify
at a hearing in Sacramento. In addition, the winner will have lunch with Sen. Simitian and receive a California state flag that has flown over the Capitol.

“Most importantly, winners stand a good chance of seeing their ideas become law for more than 38 million Californians,” Sen. Simitian added.

In the past, winners have ranged from nurses to high school students, and laws have been enacted regarding topics such as drunken driving, environmental quality, and child safety, he said.

Go to senatorsimitian.com to submit your idea online, or call 688-6384 to request an entry form.
