No I haven't. But if other people hear my idea and like it, they can contact their own representatives if they wish.
The nature of ideas is they spread easily among people. Probably only a single caveman devised a way to make stone tools. But the whole of humanity at the time was able to copy his ideas and humanity was able to evolve.
It's possible that my ideas have spread before, although there is no way to know for sure. There is a strongly pro-Israel board that I used to frequent. Some years back, the Palestinians and their European backers had this idea about unilaterally declaring a Palestinian state. Everyone on the pro-Israel board was pretty unhappy, but no one could think of anything that could be done about it.
I proposed that if a state was being unilaterally created next to Israel without their permission, then Israel would have every right under international law to use military force to draw their own borders with this new state (and seize large swaths of the West Bank for themselves in the process). Everyone on the pro-Israel board was delighted by my suggestion.
I have no idea if they repeated my suggestion elsewhere. However later that year on the news I heard analysts say that the unilateral statehood push was being abandoned because there were fears that it would prompt Israel to seize territory by force.
I'll never know if this idea spread to Israel from the seed of my post on that board. Other people could very well have had the same idea too. But my idea was pretty popular on that board, so I can easily see some of them repeating my idea elsewhere.
The notion that I even might have had something to do with kicking the Palestinians in their collective nuts gives me a warm Christmassy feeling inside. So if you or anyone else wants to spread my idea about outlawing the Democratic Party to other people or to your representatives, go right ahead.

The reason why I post it here is as a response when progressives repeatedly propose committing abuses of power.
