The Creation of a Political Monitoring Committee ( PMC )

The activities and work loads that the PMC would monitor would be published in a monthly report broke down by voting districts and published via the Internet at a site called "ElectedRepresentativeActivityReport.com" 
Contents of report:
1. Hours spent at local district office.
2. Hours spent in session at local, state and federal levels.
3. Hours spent campaigning.
4. Hours spent meeting with their voters.
5. Hours spent on vacationing and/or hours participating on leisure activities ( sporting events like golf, and professional and amateur sports) on tax payers expense.
6. Expenses for travel, room and board payed for by the tax payers.
7. Expenses rendered for meetings, community and social gatherings with or without voters present.
8. Total expenses rendered for all events (meetings, trips, room and board, leisure activities) that required tax revenue for expense. (This includes the purchase of investment assets, property which includes foreign or domestic land and housing while on the tax payer's time and with tax payer's expense)
9. All expense and hourly reports would contain with whom, at where and when they were accrued.

Operating parameters:
  
  1. The reports would be conducted by randomly assigned auditors (unannounced to the elected official) under normal procedures the elected officials would be randomly picked by an automated system using a coded algorithm that can't make choices that are predetermined 
  2. The reports would be conducted over a time table of one month and may have periods of observation not realized by the targeted officials to insure pure uninfluenced data. The targeted official will be notified when the audit is published not before that time.
  3. The PMC would also receive and be required to respond to citizen complaints or observations from citizens who believe their elected officials have violated or abused their responsibilities as defined by their elected posts. These complaints would be protected from public disclosure ( paper shredders and mandatory email deletion system) and the PMC would be required by law to always keep such complaints anonymous to protect the complainant from intimidation of the accused. If names are leaked from the PMC, severe penalties would be issued to those members who have violated those restrictions. 
  4. The committee would be able to provide a special audit of an official who has had multiple complaints that exceed the red line limit (designated by the committee) of blatant abuse of their position or post. This special audit may require longer periods of observation and other agents who are not members of the PMC. These others could be local law enforcement, government agencies like the congressional oversight committee or surveillance agencies like the CIA or FBI.
   5. All audits would have the option to be conducted secretly either and/or visually via camera and Internet. If an infraction is witnesses by the auditors then an unannounced visit to the congressional office would be scheduled or a direct encounter with the targeted official would be conducted at a schedule time. If resistance is met at such encounter at the congressional office then a search warrant or arrest warrant would be issued through the legal powers granted them ( PMC) by law via the PMC's legal department.
    6. To avoid power grabs that may induce bias and unfair audits the political affiliations of the members of the PMC must have certain requirements:
         a. The members of the PMC must represent proportionality the voting constituents of our nation. Example: 35% Republican, 35% Democrat, 20% Libertarian, 10% Independent.
         b. All PMC members must be members of the same political party for at least 5 years and cannot switch political parties while a member of the PMC. This rule disables a certain party from establishing a working advantage and shift in the balance thus creating political bias.
         c. If any member is caught forging, changing or influencing an audit to give any elected official a discrete advantage or false perception of integrity then that member will be dismissed without pay or due benefits. In addition, their name will be attached as a addendum to the monthly report issued by the PMC to make public their name and reason for dismissal. These parameters must be agreed to by the future member upon employment by the PMC. 

Limitations to the existence of the PMC:
 
     The PMC would answer to the people not the government. In same way the committee was created it can be dissolved by petition of designated amount of signers and then by majority popular vote at next presidential election. The PMC's unbiased non partisan image and performance is crucial to its success. Right now our government is so aloof and detached from our voters that their accountability is restricted only by the bias media. The PMC would be a tool  that would narrow that gulf that separates us from our government.

Why is this important?

The purpose of the committee is give the voters an objective unbiased report of the efficiency and productivity of their elected officials. This information could be used to determine if their elected officials have served their voters in a efficient and honest manner. This information can also help the voters determine whether their elected official are worthy enough to be re-elected.
