How To Get A Law Passed In America

It is my impression that a lot of people think that they personally can't do anything to change the system or the way things are ran in America. They think that just because they are the "little people" they can't get laws passed and the like. This thinking is foolish and just plain un-democratic. I have taken the liberty upon myself to write a simple step by step guide to getting a law passed the democratic way:

1. Obtain a large amount of money (this can be done very effectively by taking money from the working class).
2. Start or join a special interest group devoted to your cause.
3. Use a portion of your legally acquired tender (see step 1) to hire someone who will lobby for your cause.
4. Pick a politician that you think will win a seat in office in the near future (it is not unlike betting on horses). If you have enough money, pick a couple, why not?
5. Instruct your lobbyist to take out the target politician to a nice dinner, or perhaps a boxing match.
6. The lobbyist should then explain to him your law and why it should be passed.
7. This is followed by said lobbyist sliping the politician a "donation" of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
8. If your politician earns his seat in office, with your help of course, just sit back and watch your law in action!

This method works great for getting a variety of things done, such as: keeping car companies from working on electric cars, preventing gun control, lowering restrictions on safety in factories, lowering restrictions on pollution, criminalizing marijuana, and many other great ideas. Use your imagination!
