Law reform is the process of examining existing laws, and advocating and implementing changes in a legal system, usually with the aim of enhancing justice or efficiency. Intimately related are law reform bodies or law commissions, which are organisations set up to facilitate law reform. Law reform bodies carry out research and recommend ways to simplify and modernize the law. Many law reform bodies are statutory corporations set up by governments, although they are usually independent from government control, providing intellectual independence to accurately reflect and report on how the law should progress. Law reform activities can include preparation and presentation of cases in court in order to change the common law; lobbying of government officials in order to change legislation; and research or writing that helps to establish an empirical basis for other law reform activities.

Find out if there are any organisations who support your cause. For instance if you're lobbying for an environmental issue contact greenpeace or a similar organisation. If the organisation is also interested - you've already got more numbers and someone else can handle the planning. If not, try writing letters to politicians explaining why you're seeking law reform. Get signatures for a petition and present it to said politician. See if there's a politician who agrees with you and is willing to discuss the issue in Parliament.

Furthermore, if the GOP took the time to read the constitution, they would have found out that the government has the right to come up with laws that will prevent this country's economy from going under. And as everyone has agreed, our current health care system was a burden on this country's economy. 5. Finally, the GOP is trying to say that the government doesn't have a right to demand that everyone gets health insurance coverage.
