Well, I'm no expert, but it seems that a good place to begin is to identify any members of the House and Senate who are likely supporters of such an amendment and contact them (say, by the President of the USMA). From there we could talk to key staff people to map out a strategy for getting an amendment introduced. Is anyone from the USMA "brass" monitoring this thread? Any responses, thoughts, suggestions?

As usual the Feds are way behind the curve on this one. Nat PS Maybe we could attach it as a "rider" to the Bush tax cut. > > So back to work, > Sounds right.
