Politicians are so beholden to their parties, their super PAC, their special interest groups and getting elected that our voices get lost. I think we should ask everyone of them to pledge an oath to the citizens. One that reminds them what they are really there for. They should be asked to renounce pledges to Grover Norquist or any other person or group that is put before us the people.

Currently Congress spends less time working that we who have full time jobs do. As of October 1, 2010, 443 retired Members of Congress were receiving federal pensions based fully or in part on their congressional service. Of this number, 262 had retired under CSRS and were receiving an average annual pension of $69,420. A total of 181 Members had retired with service under FERS and were receiving an average annual pension of $38,460 in 2010. This is higher than the national average. Since so many other state and local employees have has their pensions decreased due to high burden on the tax payers, I believe Congress should receive the same treatment.

random constitutional conventions. the fathers didn't get everything right and they knew conditions would not be in 2012 what they were in 1776.

So much political advertising is misleading or outright false. Congress needs to clean up the lies and give us only the truth. The Supreme Court seems to think lying is protected speech, but political advertising must be truthful.

Politicians who filibuster or block passage of vital Congressional Business shall be fined for each and every attempt to disrupt or impair Congress, by voting opposite of normal personal trends in order to stifle a bill proposal. Also, should this be a vital issue, such as the Yearly Budget and so on ... that directly affects the citizens of the USA, financially or otherwise, anyone blocking or impeding its passage for purely political reasons shall be levied a fine of no less than $25,000, or if the loss from this action is great, a fine of no less than 20% of the alleged overcharge to the taxpayers.

Constitutional Amendment forcing Congress to use the same services and products that are available to the general public thereby eliminating all of the exclusive perks of Congress.

I am sick and tired of "political debates" that allow politicians to continually waste our time, regurgitating "talking points", rather than answering the questions. Moderators should have an iridescent orange paddle to judge the speakers response as "Off topic", "irrelevant", "content-free" and perhaps a independent panel (?politifact.com) can judge "untrue" also!

How can a citizen be expected to live under the burden of laws that are so lengthy that they cannot be read? How can a legislator represent us properly he or she cannot even bother to read a law of the land and any new bills that are being considered? Many bills now are printed just prior to a vote and have hundreds of pages appended to ram special interest pork items to tag along with an idea that has merit. The opportunity exists for the text to change as it is added to the federal register. Lawmakers who participate in this activity are not properly representing the interest of the citizens. I might go so far to suggest that this activity of voting on unread bills is an act of treason.

Lawyers making Laws only Lawyers can interpret is a "conflict of interest" and violates our Constitution. According to the American Bar Association, Lawyers must recuse themselves from cases with a "conflict of interest". Lawyers as officers of the Judiciary are Constitutionally forbidden from service in the Executive or Legislative branch of government.

After the dismal job Congress has done for the last 11 years, a Contempt For Congress is very necessary.

America can be Great again.
