Politicians can't even pass the laws they want.
If you're talking federal. You can't. You either have to find a lobby or organization that you agree with, or make a large financial contribution to your favorite politician d'jour. Once find your organizstion, you have to become an ardent activist and spent all ypur waking hours making phone calls and canvassing. Sad but true.
Twenty-six states allow for ballot initiatives or referendums. It would be great to go around Congress on items they refuse to address like term limits, allowing everyone to have the same health insurance they carry.
We can go around the Congress by using the Initiative and referendum to get laws we desire on the ballot when legislators ignore public desires. To find out how use The ballot initiative strategy center:ballot.org
Also, it looks like your state, Connecticut, does not allow voter initiatives.
In Arizona the people pass a law through a ballot initiative and the government finds a way not to implement it if they disagree with it...welcome to Arizona
@Veteran229 It would be nice if your group would follow the the Constitution like separation of church and State, allowing people to vote and stop the gerrymandering. The Constitution is great but tit has nothing in it that prevents it from being improved upon. For example : womans rights, LGBT rights, taxing churches as businesses when they promote political parties,getting rid of corporations being considered persons, public financing of campaigns to remove the money from buying elections., removal of the electoral college.
@Veteran229 Perhaps now is the right time to do so.
