Today we are launching an effort to write a grassroots progressive legislative agenda for the 2007 session.

For the next three months you can submit your ideas for laws, discuss ideas submitted by others. Right before our legislators return to Olympia for the first committee meetings after the election (when bill ideas are often first discussed), you can also help decide what ideas will make up the Netroots Agenda.

Typically legislative agendas are written by advocacy groups with specific aims. This will be the first time anyone has written a broad legislative agenda from the netroots up. What shape the agenda takes and how good it is depends on how many people participate, and not just in submitting ideas. How many people comment on ideas they like (or hate) and how many people end up voting for their favorite ideas come November will determine the quality of the Netroots Agenda.

If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to email any of us or leave a comment here.

Thank you,
