18. Would repeal add anything to our country?
This seems like a very divisive act during a time when we should focus significantly on coming together. The states already have a repeal method, it's call the United States Congress and it belongs to the citizens themselves. This feels like another way to insert manipulation at a level where ideology can trump the wishes of the people. Instead of pulling apart, why not focus on an amendment to reform the filibuster, which is the single best way to make sure that Congress can get its job done? (FYI, more on filibuster here: http://bit.ly/dOxkFu).

We may disagree on whether to go right or left, but we darn well better agree that we cannot go backward!
