Good, but politicians don’t care. Hell, they don’t follow the first contract to America to limit government also known as the Constitution.

Thanks. Send this to the RNC. Let them know, they want money, get on board. Limits on government are the only commonality the right has. We need to play to that.

Life would sure change for the “little people” if these measures were enacted.

sounds good to me but I would cut 3 terms to two with they could never serve again in a federal position ...and lawyers would never be allowed to serve period...

also I would like to add....election day is only one day April 15th,and any vote for raising their salaries would have to be voted on by We the People, on election day ie April 15th

15 = 3 (We Agree)
11 = 9 (We Agree)
13 and 16 contradict each other
16 and 17 are implicit and 14 would simply distract.

Good ideas...and if adopted the GOP would retake Congress (at least the house) by 2010 and the White House by 2012

You have to save it to a always connected server or it will appear and disappear when you are online/offline.
