We don’t really need any more YouTube Channels. What we need, is some organization, even a single person, that takes the steps necessary to change the laws.
Mostly, this is State Law. So, you will be dealing with State Congress representatives. This is good, since they are much more accessible than Federal representatives.
There are certain steps involved.
- Identify the problem. Collect statistics, provide descriptions.
- Propose a solution. This will take some effort. I would get into discussions with divorce lawyers. Talk to at least ten divorce lawyers. Ask them what they are seeing. Ask them how they would solve it. Look into the old laws. What did the laws look like in 1960? 1900?
After a while, you will get some lawyers to draft some legislation, or at least the outlines of legislation. Then take this to State Representatives. Have a presentation of the problem, with statistics. Have a presentation of the solution, which describes its contents and why you think it would work.
The Representatives need something they can put through the legislative process. This is something that is mostly done, although maybe it can be tweaked a bit. Then, build a majority. You need enough Representatives on board to get something done.
One person can do this, in one State. Then, with that success, go on to the next State. Most of this is monkey-see-monkey-do.
Ask for money. Just have a place where people can donate. Public policy organization are generally not tax-exempt, which is good because then you don’t even have to worry about that.
Support such people. Donate $25, or $100.
Eventually, you want to have someone who is hardworking and effective. Someone who is getting something done even on a budget of $50,000 or so. Then, a wealthier person (perhaps burned in divorce …) can support that person. Give them $10 million.
