The Next 50 Laws America Should Retire
A roadmap for expanding beyond the starter list into a larger, sourced repeal database.
The first 50 laws are only a launch list. The real power of Abrogate.org is what happens next: a growing database of repeal candidates backed by official sources, public votes, plain-English explanations, and realistic abrogation plans.
The next 50 laws should come from every level of government. Federal statutes, state codes, agency rules, county ordinances, and city regulations can all become outdated. The database should also include different themes: blue laws, speech restrictions, licensing clutter, old criminal penalties, obsolete business rules, and strange animal provisions.
The long-term mission is simple. Make it easier to remove bad law than to ignore it. When voters can find a law, understand it, vote on it, and share it, repeal stops being a quiet insider process and becomes a public campaign.
Frequently Asked Questions
How will the next 50 laws be chosen?
They should be selected from official-source submissions, visitor votes, research status, and the clarity of each repeal plan.
Can local ordinances be included?
Yes. Local laws can be nominated if they have an official source and a clear reason for abrogation.
What makes the database useful over time?
Consistent sourcing, public votes, jurisdiction filters, and clear proposed fixes make it useful for citizens and lawmakers.
