add these:

Shut down the UN

No vote for anyone accepting welfare of any kind

Repeal the 14th amendment (it is being bastardized to allow illegal immigration via anchor babies: not its intent)

Deport all illegal invaders

Make local jurisdictions who harbor illegals criminally and financial liable

Repeal 17th

Vote fraud results in life in prison

Gov’t employees & contractors lose 5th amendment rights for anything pertaining to their jobs & when testifying before Congress it will be done with lie detectors

Eliminate Lobbyists: elected reps & gov’t employees can get their info the same way we do

Eliminate tax-exempt orgs

NO gov’t $ for any org/person except for contracted work which is ALWAYS obtained thru the competitive & public procurement

Revise the gov’t employee/representative pension system and limit it to last not more than 10 years and be public info
Public annual disclosure of all representatives’ investments, financial transactions, total financial disclosure to include all family members and close relatives (to be filed with their income taxes annually)

Adopt “loser pays” for lawsuits at Federal and State level

Just for starters (I can’t sit here all day)

No. It is occupied by traitors.

Your republic died at Appomattox, as it should have.

Thom, I love it!

Harsh but necessary. Unlikely to pass but it must.

No rewards if you don’t work. No vote for welfare cases tickles my fancy. Repeal the 17th.

But I’d settle for a House declaration to clarify the “anchor baby” clause of the 14th, which was passed to protect the rights of freed slaves and has since been hideously abused. If the French ambassador’s wife, for example, had a baby here, he wouldn’t be an instant American citizen. So why do illegal invaders get that incredibly valuable benefit.

Washington will either listen to us, or they will hear us at their peril.
