over hall is misspelled.

It is "overhaul"

Yes, I do think our education system really is in serious need of reform

72 Hours is not enough time. If you are serious about this, make it one week, and make sure it is written in PLAIN ENGLISH.

There is a similar post above; it is one of the simplest and yet most profound changes we could make. What good is a "transparent" document if it obfuscates the truth? Plain and simple language is not "dumbing down" America- it would have quite the opposite effect. It would help the average citizen understand laws and be better informed on policy. thank you to everyone who pushes for this important change.

This is an excellent idea which should be adopted ASAP. Government gobbledy-gook has gotten out of hand; tired and overused phrases, boilerplate language, too many acronyms, legalese, all make documents and memos hard to decipher and keep people in the dark. Transparency and simplicity should go hand in hand.

This seems like a huge waste of time. We have better things to do than this.

If this were already in place, we wouldn't be saddled with the Patriot Act. This is another one of those incredibly simple ideas that Congress doesn't seem to like; if they were to vote on it today, how would your representative vote? For or against? It says a lot about us as a people that we are so reluctant to make simple, no-nonsense changes.

This idea is simple and straightforward. Unfortunately, Congress doesn't seem to like things which are simple and straightforward- if it's complex and confusing, they can hide behind it.

I think this is a very, very valuable idea and I would like to see it happen. however, the cynic in me says it probably won't.

This is an easy way for districts/municipalities to increase revenue and respect the environment at the same time. Hopefully, it will be enforced so well that it will no longer be necessary, because people will get in the habit of not-littering.

And make the fines substantial, the way they do in Singapore.
