Try this...

function doSomething(id) {
    $.get("somepage.php?id="+id);
    return false;
}

OR

function doSomething(id) {
    $.get("somepage.php", { id: id } );
    return false;
}

function doSomething(myData ) {    
$.get("somepage.php" , {'data': myData } , function(result){
    });
}

Here the data is sent using a key value pair.. If you want to something with the returned data handle it in the callback function. Otherwise you can remove it ..
