I was considering taking it, but how? My personal concerns are in no way reflected anywhere. Only the concerns of those who think the government should solve our problems are outlined.Maybe I need to start an alternate list of concerns to deliver to every representative and senator this labor day. One that just says "Stop meddling." No kidding, Michael. I was considering taking it, but how? My personal concerns are in no way reflected anywhere.

Maybe I need to start an alternate list of concerns to deliver to every representative and senator this labor day. One that just says “Stop meddling.”

I did not know that anyone's right to birth control was actually in jeopardy. Seems like an odd thing for an amendment. And in today's society, it seems to me that those who, for whatever reason, choose to have more than the "ideal" two children are in for constant social pressure, not those who chose 0, 1 or 2. Parents of more than the traditional amount of children do eventually tire of the comments, "Are you catholic?" and "You know what causes that, right?" Right at the tail end of labor with number three, when a woman is most likely to think that this is the absolute last child, my doctor kindly offered me birth control of the permanent sort. Didn't bite, but it seemed like an odd time to discuss the matter.Sorry to mislead there...one option allows for taking away tax breaks for companies who export labor overseas...but I think it is an issue I need to know more about. I don't really equate the government not taking your money away as increased regulation. Are they saying with that that any company which employs people overseas should not have any sort of tax break? That is a bit of meddling. Or are they referring to some specific tax break especially designed to promote exporting labor overseas? I plead ignorance on point three and that is the only reason I said nothing about it.

Talk about not getting it. Wow, that survey really does call for more laws, and offers no options for fewer laws. Talk about not getting it.

Being the only one that is even potentially any business of politicians at all.I wanted to pick a nit with you about the survey, though. It looks like there's an option to question 3 which you should be able to check, "Eliminate tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas". Less government meddling!I wonder if you need to check exactly two boxes (as it requests) in each of those sections for it to count. Hmmm...actually, there isn't even any text anywhere actually specifying that only women should fill out the survey...nice. I notice that you didn’t object to point 3 from the Washington Post letter.
