Contact your elected representative and speak with them about it.

More information:

Laws can be changed in several ways.

One is where subsequent legislation changes or amends specific portions of the law.

A second is where subsequent legislation repeals only specific portions of a law.

A third is where subsequent legislation repeals an entire law and replaces it with a new version of the law.

A fourth method is where a court declares part of a law unconstitutional and renders that portion void but leaves the rest in place.

The first three above follow the normal legislative process. There are two other methods for changing laws by direct participation of the citizens.

One is called INITIATIVE. Here, citizens themselves prepare the legislation and upon a proper petition, place the proposed legislation on the ballot for approval by the voters in the same way that candidates for office are elected.

The other is called REFERENDUM. One form of REFERENDUM is where citizens by petition call on the legislature to do some specific act such as review or repeal a specific law. If passed, the normal legislative process begins. Another, more common form is where the Legislature proposes a law for the direct approval of the citizens by their vote rather than by the legislature's vote.

Initiative and Referendum are often associated with another citizen based action called RECALL, in which citizens can petition for the removal of an elected official.

These three citizen-based methods are not permitted in every jurisdiction.
