What oughta be a law (or not a law)?

The Chi Trib’s political blog, The Swamp, TELLS US about a gimmick cooked up by U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam (above) of the 6th Congressional District of Illinois, west of Chicago.
Roskam, a Republican, is running a competition for the best legislative ideas from his constituents. What do you want to bet that the winners will be no-brainers (in one way or another)?
Incidentally, Roskam, a right-wing rubber stamp for the Bush administration, defeated Democrat Tammy Duckworth in the 2006 election. During the campaign, he decried those who would “cut and run” from Iraq — an insensitive comment considering that Duckworth lost both her legs in Iraq when the Blackhawk helicopter she piloted was shot down.
