• Reducing the cost of Congress
    Congress has been identifying government organizations and programs that they think are too expensive, but I haven't heard a word about Congress's attempt to reduce the cost of Congress. I've sent emails twice to Maine Senators and the rep from this part of Maine, asking for a copy of a detailed plan, with objectives, milestones, deliverables, schedule, and anticipated savings, and got nothing back.

  • Election Reform
    We need to eliminate the corruption of our political system by giving the power of the government back to the people and away from individual, corporate, and special interest influence and/or purchase of our legislative and executive branches of the federal government. States should be allowed to set up their own systems of funding elections.

  • Truth in Political Advertising
    People try to sell us things all day and night on television. Those same people HAVE to tell the truth about their product. They can't (by law) say that it does something that it doesn't do. What I want is for the Truth in Advertising Act to apply to political adds. If you are like me you are tired of propaganda in our electoral process. You are tired of adds about bills that are total fabrications with no basis in fact. And I am tired of polititions lying and NEVER being called on it.

  • Proposed 28th Amendment
    We do not have an elite that is above the law. American law should apply equally to all of it's citizens!!! For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform.... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical.

  • Campaign Finance Reform
    Campaign finance reform would ensure that money will not "buy" an election. All candidates would operate from an equal playing field, with no one "owing" favors to any special interest group or corporation.
