Using our tax dollars to "buy votes" ought to be against the law. Oh wait, IT IS!!!

Hey Dems in Congress...the administration is handing out grants to the districts of Republican candidates to try and beat you on election day. Doesn't this tick you off?

What are you going to do about it?

Impeach
Indict

3. 60 votes in trhe Senate, so stop whining and work on that.

5. I am working on it...

and it doesn't take 60 votes in the Senate to impeach. It takes a majority in the House.

4. About 500 brand new politicians from all across the nation.

If anything is going to change the culture or corruption at the federal level we need to completely reverse the retention rate for incumbents. Something on the order of a 96% turnover in each cycle.

And while we're at it...

Simple paper ballot voting and transparent, verified hand counts, nationwide

The outlawing of all private money in our politics, including the politicians own money. Upon election, all liquid assets have to be placed in a simple interest bearing savings account, this will greatly discourage participation by the wealthy and the few that stay will do so out of a real sense patriotism.

Outlaw the revolving door between office and 'K' Street, maybe a 6 or 8 year moratorium between holding office and becoming a lobbyist.

Long-term campaign to make the average citizen aware that government is relevant to their lives and future. Reverse the propaganda against socialism, so that we will accept universal single payer health care and a national standard for education.

Massive reform to the legal profession, like health care, what you get should not be determined by your means, but rather your need.
