Be careful what you wish for. The result of that will be like
small-town politics. How well has it worked in Iraq??

Didn't WE install the new leaders there? Look how well that has
worked in Iran, earlier in Iraq, and several elsewheres...

First, we have to defund politics. All donations go into a pot for
each position for each election, and each eligible party gets an equal
share. (No more bought and sold politicians, please) If all funds
aren't used, they stay in the pot for that position for the next
election. (If we draw the right people, that -will- happen, but it
sure couldn't happen in today's corruption.) This would self-limit
donations, don't you think?

What's the average pay of Americans? That's the salary for all new
politicians. Single term only, and that goes for pages and
assistants, too. Far too much in D.C. is actually run by these little
guys who are as corrupt as (or more than) their bosses.

"The House of Representatives consists of 400 members coming from 204
districts across the state created from divisions of the state's
counties, each making up about 3,000 residents for every one
legislator. If the same level of representation were present in
Congress, the U.S. House of Representatives would have approximately
99,000 members, according to current population estimates."

Eek! Did Stephen King send you?


A term limit of eight years, total for any and all offices combined.
