Citizens Writing Laws

I think there is some sort of TV show now or something I've overheard somewhere about ordinary people making suggestions about what new laws to write. The premise is "If you could write a new law, any law, but only one, what new law would you write? Okay, I'm askin'.

For me, it'd probably be simply to restrict the subject of a Bill to the title. That's the law under which the Washington State Legislature operates. The subject of a bill cannot outstrip the title. So, there is no adding pork to an unrelated bill. I would apply this limitation to Congress.
