Why Official Sources Matter in Repeal Campaigns
Absurd-law lists are often copied from the internet. Real repeal campaigns should start from official text.
The internet is full of “weird law” lists. Some are funny. Some are based on old statutes. Some are missing context. Some are simply wrong. A serious repeal campaign cannot be built on copy-and-paste folklore. It has to start with official text.
Official sources make the campaign stronger. A .gov link lets readers check the statute, regulation, ordinance, or agency rule for themselves. It also helps lawmakers and reporters verify the issue quickly. Accuracy turns a joke into a credible reform demand.
That is why Abrogate.org requires public submissions to include a .gov source. The site can still be entertaining, sharp, and shareable, but the foundation has to be real. Funny gets attention. Official sourcing gets results.
