SNEAK PEEK AT REMARKS: “I do not believe Washington needs a new coat of paint. It needs a complete overhaul. We need to uproot, tear down and rebuild Washington, D.C. and our federal institutions. Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3, says, ‘there is a time to plant and a time to uproot … there is a time to tear down and a time to build.’ It is time to tear down the monuments to bureaucratic failure and in their place build a smaller, more efficient federal government that puts the American people first.”
Perry’s “Uproot and Overhaul Washington” plan has a section for each branch:
1) “Fundamental Reform of the Legislative Branch: Citizen Congress, Accountability and Transparency … Work to establish a part-time, Citizen Congress … Cut congressional pay in half and repeal the rules that prevent members of Congress from holding real jobs in their home states and communities.”
2) “Fundamental Reform of the Judiciary: End Life-time Appointments to the Supreme Court … End lifetime appointments of federal judges by instituting an 18-year term limit. This would have to apply prospectively (e.g. not to current Supreme Court judges) and require a Constitutional Amendment.
3) “Fundamental Reform of the Executive Branch: Regulatory Reform and Reining in the Federal Bureaucracy … Support legislation to automatically sunset federal regulations unless Congress votes to renew them. … Work with Congress to dismantle, reform, and restructure wasteful, overbearing, and redundant federal agencies: The Department of Commerce, Department of Education and the Department of Energy would be completely eliminated.”
