Let's Just Have a PURGE Election......


Lets just have a an election cycle where we boot out any one who currently holds an office in the Capitol and elect a brand new House,Senate and White House.

For the new people who want to seek those vacant offices they must pass an extensive background. They must not have any criminal proceedings ever against them. They must have perfect credit nothing less than an 800,they must not have ever had any collections against them. No traffic offenses,no DWI,no negligence driving,no speeding,no traffic offenses EVER..They also must have never held an elected position in DC.

They also must never have served in a upper management position of a company that has declared bankruptcy or has been penalized for any labor/safety violations. Their companies must have shown that they worked with their employees and were given ample opportunity to be in a gainful growth. And they also must prove if they have a Union shop that they have demonstrated constructive collective bargaining.


The last qualification is the candidate must also have not held a position as a lobbyist and must not hold a like position for 10 years after,they also will not be able to cast a vote on any measure that they or any family member has a conflict in.

If their personal wealth is more than 5 million $$$ then they will not recieve compensation except for a fixed per diem budget.


*********************************************************

Anyone on board????????..... These are some of the same standards that passed legislation hold us to so why not hold them to the same.

1. Terrible idea. But I'm a big believer in performance-based voting.
You get elected and you renege on your campaign promises? You're out.
