First I’d make it illegal for lobbyists to pay Congressmen, even for campaigns. How can they represent U.S. citizens best interest when they are bribed. Second, I’d make it illegal to package bills with different subjects. In other words attaching some unpopular item to something else that is likely to pass. Everything should be voted on individually. What do you think?

End the lobby game and put mandatory term limits on all offices.

Easy. Just one. Make everyone have to write a check for their taxes every month just like any other bill.

Then sit back and watch.

1. Repeal the 14th in regards to rights. I think states should operate independently and the market reward them for liberty. It's dangerous to impose federal "rights" on everyone as the abortion fiasco demonstrated.
2. Require the federal government to operate under a balanced budget.

Possible alternative: Forbid federal funding of states or individuals using taxpayer funds.

1. Change the Constitution to acknowledge that authority to govern comes from Jesus Christ

2. Add term limits.

1). Size - decrease the number of employees and budgets by 98%.

2). Get rid of DOJ or Term limit congress, senate and Supreme Court. It's a tie.

Too late. Cannot be done without defaulting on the debt, or ending SS and MEDI.

I only need one: I'd change every Government employee (that's anyone receiving a check for "working") from currently working to formerly working.

In agreement with you on single topic Bills and end congressional lobbying.

My pet peeve is sending our money to all these Countries for Bullsh!t reasons. Humanitarian assistance after a disaster is one thing, sending $ for gender studies, training cashiers for Walmart in Mexico, et al is staggering level insanity.

Just one thing. You can only vote if you are paying into the system.
