	Repeal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A repeal is the removal or reversal of a law.
		The union was partially repealed in 1922, when under the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, twenty-six of the thirty-two Irish Counties became the Irish Free State and ceased to be part of the United Kingdom.
		Some repeals are of extremely old and outdated laws that now seem bizarre, such as one from the 19th century against bathing.

	Repeal of Prohibition in the U.S.
		Repeal of Prohibition in the U.S. by David J. Hanson, Ph.D. National Prohibition in the United States had been viewed by tens of millions of Americans as the solution to the nation's poverty, crime, violence, and other ills and they eagerly embraced it.
		The popular vote for repeal of prohibition was 74 percent in favor and 26 percent in opposition.
		Therefore, despite the repeal of prohibition at the national level, 38 percent of the nation's population lived in areas with state or local prohibition.

		Repeal would be expensive, however: immediate repeal would reduce revenues by over $400 billion over the next decade.
		Repeal would also be regressive, would reduce charitable giving by over $15 billion a year, and would invite significant tax sheltering.
		In contrast to repealing the tax, retargeting the estate tax to very wealthy households and lowering its rates would blunt much of the criticism against it while retaining many of its advantages.

	Lower-Cost Estate Tax Repeal Reflects Slow Phase-In
		Supporters of estate tax repeal often point to the complexities of current estate planning as a rationale for repealing the tax, yet the backloaded approach taken by the Ways and Means Committee would add to this burden over the next decade rather than reduce it.
		Because under the Ways and Means bill the cost of repeal would not occur until the very end of the initial ten-year period, the $186 billion revenue loss resulting from the bill over the first ten years includes little of the revenue loss resulting from income tax avoidance that would ultimately occur.
		We estimate that, even if such provisions were in place before repeal takes effect, the cost in the second ten years would still be between $1.3 trillion and $800 billion — with the lower end of the range requiring extremely effective measures, casting doubt on whether such a low estimate is feasible.

	REPEAL!
		The repeal plurality in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey exceeded 85 percent; in Massachusetts and Maryland 80 percent; and in Pennsylvania and Delaware 75 percent.
		In Virginia, outside the state's major urban centers, the vote was 60 percent wet; in West Virginia, Indiana, and Arkansas, 58 percent; in Vermont, 64 percent; in Iowa and Colorado, 60 percent; in Alabama, 52 percent; in Idaho, 57 percent; and in Ohio, 63 percent.
		With the exception of South Carolina, where voters chose a full slate of at-large delegates opposed to repeal, and Indiana, where one-fourth of the district delegates were elected on the basis of their opposition to repeal, hardly a delegate objected to ratification in the conventions.

	Should We Repeal the 16th Amendment?
		I also suspect there are even a lot of people who would not put their name on a petition to repeal the income tax because of a fear that the government or IRS might retaliate.
		Employees of non-profit organizations are likely to resist the repeal of the income tax for fear that people would no longer have an incentive to make contributions to their organizations.
		If the Social Security tax were repealed, my mother and mother-in-law could become dependent on my wife and I. If the Medicare tax were repealed, we would have to find a way to provide for their extensive medical expenses.

	Legislation: - HUD 2020 Program Repeal & Streamlining Act - Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Section 102 would repeal title VII of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, which authorizes the Secretary to designate up to 100 nominated areas (nominated by one or more local governments and the State or States in which it is located for designation as an enterprise zone) as enterprise zones.
		This section would repeal the authority for joint community development grants, which are awarded to States, local governments, and institutions of higher education to carry out eligible activities under the CDBG program.
		Section 205(a) would repeal section 8(v) of the 1937 Act, which authorizes HUD to extend expiring contracts for project-based loan management assistance to the extent necessary to prevent displacement of low-income families receiving such assistance as of September 30, 1996.

	Repeal of Helmet Laws
		It is this author's opinion that repealing universal helmet laws is a viable way to prove Darwinism - a lot like removing stop signs and speed limits near schools - the resulting gene pool will include the smartest and most careful.
		In the two years before the law's repeal, the rate averaged 11.3 and it averaged 11.4 in the two years after repeal.
		The weight of the evidence is that helmets reduce injury severity, that repeal of helmet laws decreases helmet use, and that states that repeal universal helmet laws experience increased motorcyclist fatalities and injuries.

	Repeal the 17th Amendment
		This is not to say that repealing the 17th would end this influence completely, it would still be there and would most certainly transfer to the state legislators.
		No matter what side of the war issue you are on, this statement by Graham is one of the many examples of a Senator that is centered on himself rather than his state and for that matter his party.
		By repealing the 17th Amendment every community in every state would have the opportunity to elect their senator.

	Drug Policy Alliance: American Women and the Repeal of Prohibition
		Intriguingly, the arguments employed by repeal women and by prohibition women were often mirror images of each other, even though the women on the two sides of the issue pursued diametrically opposed political agendas.
		Rose contends that a distinguishing feature of the women's repeal movement was an argument for home protection, a social feminist ideology that women repealists shared with the prohibitionist women of the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
		The book surveys the women's movement to repeal national prohibition and places it within the contexts of women's temperance activity, women's political activity during the 1920s, and the campaign for repeal.

	Strategies for sodomy law repeal
		Several states have simultaneously sought repeal legislation and lawsuits to strike down the sodomy laws, or have quickly switched from one to the other.
		Legislative repeals in the 1990s have required strong support for gay issues in the legislature and a politically active gay community to lobby, write, call and visit legislators.
		Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia are able to introduce repeal legislation but have thus far received only the cursory attention as the legislatures have not seriously considered their bills.

	t r u t h o u t - Senate Rejects Bush Estate Tax Repeal
		The vote against repeal came after rejection of two Democratic alternatives, one that would have raised the value of assets exempt from the tax to $3 million next year and a second that Democrats said would have spared virtually all family-owned enterprises from the inheritance tax.
		Sponsors of the repeal measure said they would have succeeded had they received the support of all those who earlier this year backed a nonbinding resolution on repeal or those who voted for last year's tax cut.
		Critics of repeal said that given the Senate refusal to eliminate the tax, they hoped that lawmakers could move toward a compromise to lend some certainty to the tax code.

	Should the United States repeal the recent tax cuts? - Sep. 23, 2003
		Many economists said the question of whether repealing some or all of the tax cuts will help the economy depends largely on where the economy stands by then.
		Any negative effects of repealing tax cuts could be offset, Zandi and some other economists said, by returning some of the money to the economy in other ways.
		"It's entirely possible you could repeal tax cuts without injuring the economy if you did it carefully, over a period of time, while offsetting it in part by increasing expenditures you knew were coming anyway or thought desirable," said former Fed economist Lyle Gramley, now a consulting economist with Schwab Washington Research.

	Now Is (Still) the Time to Permanently Repeal Federal Death Taxes
		Then, the Act repealed death taxes for one year, 2010, before restoring them at their 2003 levels in 2011.
		Instead of putting their money in the hands of entrepreneurs or investing more in their own economic endeavors, the unmistakable message of federal estate taxes is to consume it now, not pay it later.
		Indeed, the support for permanent repeal of federal death taxes stems generally from the appreciation of this last feature of our economy.

	House GOP Proposes to Repeal D.C. Gun Bans (washingtonpost.com)
		A majority of the U.S. House of Representatives is supporting legislation that would repeal virtually all of the District's gun restrictions, targeting one of the nation's most stringent handgun bans while the presidential candidates are battling over gun limits.
		Supporters of gun limits said the proposed repeal shows gun backers at their most extreme and draws attention to a flip-flop by President Bush on extending a 1994 federal ban covering some semiautomatic weapons.
		Although the most recent challenge to the District's handgun ban was defeated in the House in 1999 by a vote of 250 to 175, 34 members who supported the ban have signed on as co-sponsors of the Souder bill.

	Repeal 17th
		This would reinstate the states' linkage to the federal political process and would, thereby, have the effect of elevating the present status of the state legislatures from that of lobbyists, to that of a partner in the federal political process.
		The existing relationship, combined with the effect of the Supremacy Clause, is guaranteed to concentrate power into the hands of the federal government with little or no hope of return.
		With that, the state governments should be focusing an effort to repeal the 17th Amendment, not on passing legislation or engaging in irrelevant activities, that are more than likely useless over the long term and probably also over the short.

	Rendell urges repeal - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Rendell, once a backer of the controversial 16 percent to 54 percent raise legislators approved in the early hours of July 7, said he wants to sign a repeal of that law so the government can move on to issues such as property tax reform and increasing the minimum wage.
		That doesn't sit well with some voters, who say even a repeal won't be enough to soothe their anger.
		Activists who led the charge to repeal the pay raise and subsequently filed suit in federal court say they're uneasy about the way lawmakers have handled the issue.

	Idaho Repeals Term Limits
		BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho became the first state Friday to repeal its term limits, undoing a voter-approved measure that was enacted during the Republican high tide of 1994.
		But two years ago, party officials began calling for a repeal, saying that local officials were never supposed to be the target and that term limits were depriving communities of experienced politicians, especially in sparsely populated rural areas that struggle to fill local offices.
		But he expended no political capital to try to prevent the repeal and questioned whether term limits were even a good idea.
